LA Clippers forward Paul George will make his season debut against the New Orleans Pelicans (8 ET, League Pass), per coach Doc Rivers.

This would also be George's team debut, playing his first minutes for his hometown team in L.A. 

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The National Basketball Association (NBA) today announced that select NBA games will be available on national free-to-air channel CNN Philippines. 

Paul George is reportedly planning to make his debut for the Los Angeles Clippers this week.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said Rajon Rondo will take the floor against Phoenix. He said the Kentucky product will have a 15-minute restriction in his first game of the season as he returns from a calf injury.

After a successful three-game road trip, the Celtics returned home to face Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart were tasked with slowing down the enigmatic second year player. Doncic has been tracking toward the MVP conversation this season averaging a near triple double and the Cs did a good job on him early as Boston held Dallas to just 21 on 26% shooting in the opening quarter. The Celtics would score 25 as they looked to hold back the free flowing Mavericks who rank sixth highest scoring team in the NBA at 116.3 points per game.

The Milwaukee Bucks snuck by the Oklahoma City Thunder, winning 121 to 119.

Possibly due to their length road trip, Milwaukee struggled early. They fired blanks from deep, whiffed on bunnies, but in Bucks fashion, managed to stick beside the Thunder through the first quarter. The two teams would jockey for a lead to start the second, Milwaukee tightening up their three-point attack despite their offensive flow remaining rather JV-ish. Their defense hurt them the most, as they fell behind 56-50 at half, failing to stop a red-hot Thunder bench.

The Boston Celtics got their first victory in San Antonio since 2011 with a 135-115 win over the Spurs. The Celtics seventh straight triumph came with some really bad news however, as Gordon Hayward fractured his left hand late in the second quarter.

LaMarcus Aldridge put the Spurs on his back tonight and led them to a big win over Chris Paul, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder tonight. Dejounte Murray’s speed and length made a big difference for the Spurs tonight, but the hot-shooting Thunder kept the game from turning into a rout as the Silver and Black won 121-112.

The Golden State Warriors were without Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and D’Angelo Russell tonight, so it was no surprise that the Houston Rockets rolled to an eventual 129-112 victory over the shorthanded Dubs. And though the end result appeared easy, it took the Rockets some time before exerting their dominance.
