The NBA schedule was unveiled and European fans should be ready for some great clashed between players from the old continent.
The league’s 73rd regular season will tip off on Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2018, and conclude on Wednesday, April 10, 2019.
Eurohoops picked out ten European match-ups which every fan should watch as the upcoming NBA season gets underway.
Giannis Antetokounmpo vs Nikola Jokic
Many would say that they are the best two European players in the NBA at the moment. And both are improving even further as time goes by. Their stats reflect it. They recorded double-double averages last season as Antetokounmpo posted 26.9 points and 10 rebounds per game leading Milwaukee to the playoffs while Jokic notched 18.5 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. Jokic also made it into history books by recording the fastest triple-double in NBA history in 14 minutes and 33 seconds.
