The new NBA season tips off on October 17 and the regular season continues through to April 11.
The Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers have dominated the last three NBA seasons and are favourites to meet in the Finals for a four successive year. In the Western Conference the Warriors will be tested by the San Antonio Spurs, the Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder. In the Eastern Conference the biggest challenge to the Cavs is likely to come from the Boston Celtics.
