A primeira vitória do San Antonio na nova temporada da NBA veio fora de casa, sobre o Dallas, por 122-106, e a atuação individual mais barulhenta foi de um novato espanhol vestindo a camisa do time derrotado.
Sergio de Larrea saiu do banco para 21 pontos e acertou três das quatro tentativas de longa distância, o único ponto brilhante em uma noite do Mavericks que correu sem Cooper Flagg e Kyrie Irving.
Pelo Spurs, Dylan Harper contribuiu com 22, e Victor Wembanyama terminou com 23 pontos, além de sete rebotes e quatro tocos.
Em Denver, Nikola Jokic marcou oito dos seus 35 na prorrogação e terminou com 15 rebotes e 10 assistências, enquanto um Nuggets desfalcado apagou uma desvantagem de 23 pontos para bater o New Orleans por 141-135. Foi o 199º triplo-duplo de temporada regular da carreira dele, com apenas Russell Westbrook à frente, com 209.
O Charlotte bateu um Miami que ainda busca a primeira vitória, por 115-110, com 34 de Brandon Miller; Dennis Schroder acrescentou 25, e Giannis Antetokounmpo, com problema de faltas, ficou em 14.
A estreia em casa do Cleveland terminou 125-121 contra o Brooklyn, com Egor Demin marcando 22 pelos visitantes, e o Houston passou pelo Atlanta por 121-114, com Alperen Sengun anotando 17 pontos e 10 rebotes.
O Phoenix abriu em casa pela quinta temporada seguida com uma vitória por 131-122 sobre um Golden State desfalcado de Stephen Curry (joelho direito), Brandin Podziemski, Draymond Green e Al Horford, os três últimos listados com problemas na lombar. Devin Booker fez 43.
