NBA opening night is officially upon us. After a long offseason that included plenty of blockbuster trades, fans will finally have the chance to get their first look at four of the league's best teams. On Tuesday, the LA Lakers will face off with the Denver Nuggets in a rematch of last year's Western Conference finals, while the Phoenix Suns face the Golden State Warriors.

For the Lakers, the season opener will see them look to get revenge for the Denver Nuggets' sweep in the palyoffs last season. On the flip side, for the Denver Nuggets, NBA opening night will see them look to pick up where they left off last season after undergoing a bit of a roster overhaul.

In Tuesday's opening night marquee game, the Golden State Warriors will look to start off their 2023-24 campaign on a high note after a second-round playoff exit in 2022-23. Although the Phoenix Suns are expected to be true championship threats this season, the absence of Bradley Beal and expected absence of Devin Booker could prove crucial in their opening game.

With the start of the 2023-24 NBA season just hours away, let's take a look at the NBA opening night over/under odds for a number of key players in both of tonight's games.
