1. Boston Celtics — Oct. 22, 2019

  • Channel: NBA TV
  • Reason for ranking: Early season competitive Eastern Conference play

This is the antithesis of the Atlanta Hawks game. It’ll be the fourth game of the season for both teams, early season hopes are not dashed yet, star players all around, good matchups across the board and a tough early season meeting in Boston for the Magic. This should be an exciting game.

We will (hopefully) see a fully fresh Orlando team, devoid of any injuries that tend to plague them. This game should featured a healthy starting five and a lot of fresh faces facing a true road test at the beginning of the year.
