Don't look now, but the Nuggets and Lakers might be developing an actual throwback NBA rivalry. We all know about the potshots that have come from both side, beginning during the Nuggets' sweep of L.A. in last season's Western Conference finals and continuing throughout the summer. 

Meet the new Denver Nuggets, who look just like the old Denver Nuggets.

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges turned himself into police on Friday due to a warrant stemming from a felony domestic violence charge last November. The 25-year-old has been embroiled in legal troubles since the alleged incident took place, and questions remain about how the Hornets organization will navigate the situation during the upcoming season.

The Boston Celtics made a splash by dealing for Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday over the offseason, but that wasn't the end of their notable acquisitions. The team has hired Jeff Van Gundy as a senior consultant ahead of the 2023-24 season.

There's a lot of pressure on the Minnesota Timberwolves to compete at a high level this season, after the Karl-Anthony Towns-Rudy Gobert experiment never got to be fully realized last year due to an injury that kept Towns out most of the season.

Team USA's roster at the 2024 Olympic Games could be its best in decades. Joel Embiid committed on Thursday to play for the United States, joining a constellation of stars who have pledged to participate. If everybody stays healthy and sticks to his word, then this iteration will, like the 1992 Dream Team, honor the best players of a generation and feature several superstars in or approaching their respective primes.

The NBA's boost in scoring has helped playmakers inflate their numbers and we're sure to see some impressive assist totals in the upcoming season. Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (+175) is the odds-on favorite to lead the league in dimes while James Harden (+200) is right behind him despite his evident disappointment with Philadelphia 76ers brass and recent trade requests. However, bettors might want to look elsewhere when wagering on the 2024 assists champ. Here are three options you should consider.

Following his notable absence on media day, James Harden has joined the Philadelphia 76ers at training camp in Fort Collins, Colorado, participating in drills during each of the first two days of practice. But that doesn't mean he's a happy camper.
