Numerous games against the new-look Golden State Warriors will also be must-watch as Stephen Curry and Chris Paul will now be teaming and potentially manning the backcourt together.
However, opening night against the Denver Nuggets will take the purple and gold right back to where they ended their 2023 season and get a chance to spoil their ring ceremony night on their own floor. Therefore, ESPN's Andrew Lopez has this matchup marked on his calendar as the most interesting of the NBA's week one.
"The most interesting game could be the actual season opener. LeBron James, Anthony Davis & Co. will be in Denver for a rematch of last season's Western Conference finals as Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and teammates receive their NBA championship rings. The Lakers retooled by bringing in Gabe Vincent, Cam Reddish, Jaxson Hayes and Taurean Prince and this will be their first chance to test out the new lineups against the champs, who will be looking to repeat."
