It is finally here: Opening Night for the 2019-20 NBA season. We’ve got two games on the slate tonight. The New Orleans Pelicans head north to take on the Toronto Raptors for the first game of the evening. The second game of Opening Night will be the Los Angeles Lakers against the Los Angeles Clippers.
