The 2026 NBA regular season kicked off Tuesday night with a trio of games that saw the seemingly ageless LeBron James (he's actually 41, and from Ohio as he memorably told a courtside fan) lead his new team, the Philadelphia 76ers, to a season-opening 106-100 victory over the defending NBA champions New York Knicks. James notched 14 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in his debut for his fourth NBA employer. Trade on Wednesday's biggest games with the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55 for a $55 bonus:

Timberwolves' rim attack faces its first major test against Heat's loaded frontcourt
The new-look Minnesota Timberwolves offense should have no issue burying teams with a barrage of 3-pointers or outrunning opponents in transition. Rim attacking could be slightly hit-or-miss depending on how the opponents' rim protection is.
Unfortunately for the Wolves, the Miami Heat had a busy offseason too, acquiring two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. Pairing him with All-Star big man Bam Adebayo creates one of the most fearsome defensive frontcourts in the league, one that will pose a challenge for the Wolves on opening day.
The Wolves weren't awesome against the Detroit Pistons' physicality during the preseason, and tonight will test whether that was just preseason or a potential issue with the roster.
