This could be the best week ever.

Monday could be best day of the NBA year. To celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the league will play 14 games, beginning at 2 p.m. ET and with eight different start times to keep you on your toes. The national TV schedule features Pelicans-Grizzlies from Memphis (5 ET, TNT) and Lakers-Celtics (7:30 ET, TNT), and the League Pass game to watch is the third and final meeting between Russell Westbrook's Rockets and Chris Paul's Thunder.

Two nights later, we have the debut of Zion Williamson, the No. 1 pick with the well-deserved hype. After missing the first 13 weeks of the season, Williamson will play his first regular season game on Wednesday, when the Pelicans host the Spurs on ESPN (9:30 ET).

It should be a fun week for the West-leading Lakers. In addition to that game in Boston on Monday night, LeBron James will make his only visit of the season to Madison Square Garden (Wednesday, 7:30 ET on League Pass) and go head-to-head with Ben Simmons and the Sixers on Saturday (8:30 ET, ABC). All-Star starters will be announced Thursday night, and we'll get some more weekday hoops on Friday, when the Bucks and Hornets tip off from Paris at 3 p.m. ET.

Milwaukee will head abroad as the No. 1 team in the Power Rankings for an eighth straight week and still on pace for a 70-win season.
