The 2015-16 NBA season won't lack for entertaining storylines. After the league released its schedule on Wednesday, here's an early look at 10 of the season's most intriguing games.

10. DeMarcus Cousins and George Karl open their season in Sacramento, Oct. 28

The Sacramento Kings made headlines during the offseason with their power struggle between All-Star center Cousins and Coach Karl. Karl wanted Cousins traded, prompting Cousins to voice his displeasure on his Twitter account. Kings fans will vocalize their loyalty or disdain for both during introductions in the team's season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers.



9. Kristaps Porzingis debuts at the Garden, Oct. 29:

New York Knicks fans strongly booed Porzingis when he was selected with the fourth overall pick in this year's draft.

8. LaMarcus Aldridge and the Spurs face the Warriors, Jan. 25:

This is the first of four meetings between the Western Conference contenders. Could the San Antonio Spurs be the best team in the NBA again after adding Aldridge and David West? The reigning NBA champions will have some say in that. San Antonio is probably the team that gives the Golden State Warriors the most to fear.



7. LaMarcus Aldridge returns to Portland, Nov. 11

Aldridge was one of the franchise's greatest players. Portland Trail Blazers fans, however, will also remember that he didn't give the team much of an opportunity to re-sign him during the past offseason. During the previous two seasons, Aldridge seemed to already have one foot out the door.



6. Kevin Durant goes to Washington, Nov. 10

The Washington Wizards have put themselves in position to make a run at the Washington-area native during free agency next summer. Durant still seems enamored with playing the Oklahoma City Thunder, loves Oklahoma and could be tough to pry away. But, home is home, and the Thunder have a new coach in Billy Donovan. Stay tuned.
