The NBA is back.
The Philadelphia 76ers will open the NBA season by playing at the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m.
The nationally televised match up is a re-match of last year’s Eastern Conference Semifinals that the Celtics took in five games.
Both Boston and Philadelphia are expected to be contenders for a top spot in the Eastern Conference this season.
The Washington Wizards will open up their schedule when the Heat travel to Washington D.C. for a Thursday night game.
Washington is looking to return to the playoffs for the third consecutive season after re-tooling their team during the off season.
