LeBron James and Steph Curry to square off on opening night for the second consecutive season
LeBron James and Steph Curry will reignite their rivalry on the opening night of the upcoming season. Last campaign, Curry's Golden State Warriors visited the Crypto.com Arena, then known as the Staples Center. However, with the Dubs winning the title last season, LeBron's LA Lakers will be the visiting team this time.
Curry matched James' tally of four championships after leading the Warriors to the title in July. Golden State once again finds itself in the hunt to go back-to-back, but it may not come easy.
The Western Conference looks stronger than ever. The LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets will enter the season with their superstars healthy and available.
Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves and New Orleans Pelicans are also in contention. The LA Lakers, on the other hand, are trying their best to build a competitive roster around LeBron and Anthony Davis.
REPORT: The Lakers and Warriors will face off on opening night, October 18th.
