This will be a celebration of the first pro sports championship for the city in more than half a century. As for those rings, a team source described a prototype version of the jewelry to ESPN.com as ridiculous.Click here for more must-watch Cavs gamesDallas MavericksOct. 26: Mavericks at PacersThe Mavericks open the season against the Pacers. Although the Mavericks added several pieces this offseason, one thing remains the same: Dirk Nowitzki begins his 19th season in Dallas.Click here for more must-watch Mavs gamesDenver NuggetsOct. 26: Nuggets at PelicansThe season opener will give Denver fans their first chance to see the No. 7 overall pick, Jamal Murray, in an NBA game.

This seasons Thunder face-off happens three months sooner, on Nov. 3 in Oakland. We will, however, have to wait until Feb. 11 for Durants return to Oklahoma City. In general, though, fans wont need to be patient for highly hyped Warriors affairs. Six of Golden States first 12 games are on national TV.Click here for more must-watch Warriors gamesHouston RocketsFeb 2: Rockets vs. HawksThe Rockets will play former center Dwight Howard twice with his new team, the Atlanta Hawks. Houston visits Atlanta on Nov. 5 as part of a four-games-in-nine-days road trip. Howard makes his return to Houston in February. The ending for Howard wasnt pleasant, but he wasnt a bad guy and should be cheered by Rockets fans when he returns to the Toyota Center.Click here for more must-watch Rockets gamesIndiana PacersOct. 26: Pacers vs. MavericksThe new-look Pacers begin their season against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be the first time Pacers fans get to see the teams new starting lineup with Jeff Teague and Thaddeus Young.Click here for more must-watch Pacers gamesLA ClippersOct. 27: Clippers at Trail BlazersThe Clippers enter the season as title contenders but have plenty of questions to answer, including one about?Blake Griffins long-term future. If the Clippers remain healthy -- a big if -- Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan and Griffin have enough to bring that elusive title to the Clippers. Its hard to figure out why the Clippers have such bad luck, but injuries to Paul and Griffin doomed them in the playoffs last season, as the Trail Blazers dug out of a 2-0 hole to win four straight. If their team is healthy, Clippers fans will get to see what could have been.Click here for more must-watch Clippers gamesLos Angeles LakersDec. 16: Lakers at SixersThe first of two match-ups between 76ers rookie and 2016 top draft pick Ben Simmons and Lakers rookie and No. 2 pick Brandon Ingram should have plenty of intrigue. Assuming they stay healthy, they will have had nearly half the season to adjust to the league, so it should be a thrilling showdown of the leagues top young talent.Click here for more must-watch Lakers gamesMemphis GrizzliesNov. 18: Grizzlies at MavericksThis game marks Chandler Parsons first game back at the American Airlines Arena, where he averaged 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists during his two-year stint in Dallas. Parsons signed a four-year max contract worth around $94.8 million with Memphis earlier this summer.Click here for more must-watch Grizzlies gamesMiami HeatNov. 4: Heat at Raptors This is the first meeting between the teams that slugged it out in a brutal, seven-game playoff series that propelled Toronto to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in franchise history and dropped Miami into a roster overhaul.Click here for more must-watch Heat gamesMilwaukee BucksNov. 19: Bucks vs. Warriors The Bucks held the title of being the first team to defeat the Warriors last season, after Golden State exploded to a 24-0 start.

It has been a lifetime in NBA years (five in human years) since Paul suited up for the home team, but the scar tissue still shows from time to time, including during the teams most recent meeting in March, before which Paul jokingly asked the PA announcer why he hadnt alerted the crowd that they were Live at the Hive.Click here for more must-watch Pelicans gamesNew York KnicksOct. 25: Knicks at CavaliersDerrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis and the rest of the Knicks will be tested early on. Theyll face a raucous Cleveland crowd celebrating its first pro championship since 1964. LeBron James and the Cavs will likely get their championship rings that night and raise a banner at the Q. That isnt an easy atmosphere for a team with several new players, and its a tough test for new coach Jeff Hornacek.Click here for more must-watch Knicks gamesOklahoma City ThunderNov. 11: Thunder vs. ClippersThunder versus Clippers has always been an intriguing matchup with hefty, physical frontlines battling inside. But this one will carry a new narrative: The first attempt to recruit native son Blake Griffin. Griffin has always been met with a tepid reception in Oklahoma, but with buzz building about the Thunders likely pursuit of Griffin next summer in free agency, fans will likely turn a meh welcome into something a bit more substantial.Click here for more must-watch Thunder gamesOrlando MagicNov. 14: Magic at Pacers Frank Vogel returns to a place where he went 250-181 as coach, including two Eastern Conference finals appearances. His tenure ended with a first-round loss last season.Click here for more must-watch Magic gamesPhiladelphia 76ersOct. 26: 76ers vs. ThunderThe season opener is significant not only because the world is waiting to see No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons play an NBA game, but also because it will also mark the long-awaited debuts of 2014 draft picks Joel Embiid and Dario Saric. It will happen against Russell Westbrook & Co.Click here for more must-watch 76ers gamesPhoenix SunsOct. 30: Suns vs. Warriors What fan doesnt want to see what the young Suns can do against Golden State? Devin Booker isnt a star yet, but after he averaged 13.1 points on the way to All-Rookie honors in 2015, this game will be a good test to see how far hes come and how far he still has to go.Click here for more must-watch Suns gamesPortland Trail BlazersDec. 23: Blazers vs. SpursLaMarcus Aldridge returns to the Moda Center for the first time in the 2016-17 season. The Spurs big man averaged 17 points and six rebounds per game against his former team last season.Click here for more must-watch Blazers gamesSacramento KingsDec. 16: Kings at Grizzlies New head coach Dave Joerger will face his former team for the first time.

Considering Duncan has been the heart and soul of the Spurs since 1997, its going to be interesting to see how coach Gregg Popovich and the rest of the club handle this matchup, which features three-time All-Star Anthony Davis.Click here for more must-watch Spurs gamesToronto RaptorsOct. 28: Raptors vs. CavaliersAn early rematch of last seasons Eastern Conference finals, a 4-2 series win by Cleveland, is a chance for the Raptors to measure themselves against the LeBron James-led NBA champs. All roads in the East go through Cleveland, James and Kyrie Irving, but the Raptors have their own superstars to match:?DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry.Click here for more must-watch Raptors gamesUtah JazzNov. 1: Jazz at SpursBoris Diaw returns to the Alamo City for the first time in the 2016-17 season. The veteran forward was a big factor in the Spurs 2014-15 championship run. Diaw averaged 7.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game during his five-year stint with San Antonio.Click here for more must-watch Jazz gamesWashington WizardsNov. 30: Wizards at Thunder This will be head coach Scott Brooks first trip to Oklahoma City since he was fired after the 2015 season.

Its something we keep an eye on across the league, because as the season wears on, backfield splits are often more likely to arise as teams account for the wear-and-tear a starting back would expect to see. This piece will serve as a reminder that not all waiver-wire adds need to result in immediate return. There are weeks when such is the case -- particularly in the case of injury replacements -- but in other situations, a players value might not be apparent until later in the season. But the best window to buy is actually sooner than one might suspect.Well cover running back workloads and more in the Week 6 edition of our waiver-wire adds.As usual, all players on the list are owned in less than 50 percent of leagues on ESPN.com.Sammie Coates, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers (39.9 percent). A name that made this list last week, Coates has emerged as the No. 2 passing threat in the high-octane Pittsburgh offense. He has six catches in consecutive games and exploded for a pair of touchdowns in Week 5. Drops remain an issue, but Coates is a must-add in all leagues. The upside is obvious.James White, RB, New England Patriots (38.5 percent). With Tom Brady back under center, the Patriots offense took on a familiar form against the Browns. White was a prominent factor for the team when it wanted to pick up the tempo (as it often does) or spread a defense out horizontally. He racked up 63 yards on four catches. Hes an RB2 in PPR scoring in 12-team or larger leagues.Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets (44.6 percent). A running back whose role continues to blossom by the week, Powell picked up six catches in Week 5. Consider this: Matt Forte had 52 rushes in the first two weeks of the season. His rush total has decreased in each week since, as he has just 41 over his past three games. The takeaway? There will be a more balanced work split for this duo and Powell is another flex-worthy running back in PPR scoring.James Starks, RB, Green Bay Packers (23.7 percent). The numbers havent been kind to Starks this season -- 24 carries for 42 yards -- but with Eddie Lacy banged up, the Packers are potentially in need of a fill-in starter. Well see if Lacy is good to go in Week 6, but if not, Starks immediately vaults into a borderline top-25 play. There isnt another true running back on Green Bays roster.Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (24.8 percent). While Doug Martin could return for Tampa Bay following a Week 6 bye, Charles Sims is out for at least eight weeks after being placed on the injured reserve list. That opens the door to Rodgers sustaining a role, perhaps comparable to the one Sims had when both he and Martin were healthy. For now, Rodgers should be added in 12-team leagues and can certainly be used in your lineup in Martin does not return in Week 7.Cameron Artis-Payne, RB, Carolina Panthers (28.1 percent). Keep a close eye on injury updates for Jonathan Stewart this week, as recent remarks make it seem possible hes back on the field on Sunday. If he isnt, Artis-Payne -- who compiled 20 fantasy points in Week 5 -- is a viable top-25 running back option. Hes a smart add for anyone that already owns Stewart, too.Davante Adams, WR, Green Bay Packers (9.7 percent). Adams has scored in three of four games played this season and picked up five catches for 85 yards and a touchdown in Week 5. With Randall Cobb currently banged up, the potential value of Adams is notable. Hes something of a wide receiver handcuff in the Packers passing offense. He will step up into the top two on the Packers WR depth chart if Cobb has to miss any time due to injury.Brian Hoyer, QB, Chicago Bears (16.6 percent). While just two teams have a bye over each of the next two weeks, theres nothing wrong with adding your fill-in quarterback sooner than the week in which you will need him. Hoyer hasnt just filled in for Jay Cutler in Chicago, he has outperformed him. Dont be surprised if he keeps this job going forward. Be it as a bye week fill-in or streaming option when your QB has a tough matchup, Hoyers recent play (18, 20 and 23 points over the past three weeks) definitely merits consideration in 12-team or largeer leagues.ddddddddddddBobby Rainey, RB, New York Giants (4.0 percent). There are two very different roles for running backs in a lot of offenses, the Giants included: a between-the-tackle back and a pass-catching back. Rainey fits the latter. In two full games since Shane Vereen got hurt, Rainey has 22 total touches, but 13 are catches. He has been good for 26 points in PPR scoring during that stretch. Hes a flex consideration in 12-team or larger PPR leagues.Cameron Meredith, WR, Chicago Bears (1.5 percent). There are two ways to evaluate the nine-catch, 130 yards and one touchdown performance of Meredith: one is to recognize that Week 5 could well be the best game of his season, the other is to examine a few positive indicators working in his favor. He had 12 targets -- a team high -- and 63 offensive snaps, most among all Bears wide receivers. He assumed the role that Kevin White had before his injury, and its worth noting that White led all Bears in targets before he went down. Id call Meredith an add in 12-team or larger leagues that is -- at worst -- a stash.Devontae Booker, RB, Denver Broncos (21.1 percent). Were not sounding the alarm for C.J. Anderson owners, but its worth noting that Bookers role is growing for Denver seemingly by the day. He registered the second game of his career with double-digit touches, compiling 59 yards on 10 rushes and receptions. Hes a must-own for all Anderson owners and a worthwhile add for anyone looking for running back depth.Jeremy Kerley, WR, San Francisco 49ers (8.0 percent). In three of five games this season, Kerley has registered at least six catches and 60 yards. The issue is that there was a pair of games when Kerley had just five total catches sandwiched in between, but hes the closest thing to a reliable passing option in the San Francisco passing game and merits consideration in PPR leagues.Jay Ajayi, RB, Miami Dolphins (48.2 percent). Im still not overly enthused by the Dolphins backfield situation, but Ajayi seemed to be the workhorse with Arian Foster out again in Week 5. Ajayi found the end zone and picked up double-digit points in standard scoring. Hes usable again if Foster sits in Week 6.Jalen Richard, RB, Oakland Raiders (19.4 percent). Latavius Murrays injury in Week 5 opened the door for both DeAndre Washington (he does not qualify for this list based on ownership percentage) and Richard to earn significant work. Richard picked up 14 total touches (six catches). Well see if Murray misses any more time. If he does, Richard is a usable flex in deeper leagues, especially in PPR formats.Matt Asiata, RB, Minnesota Vikings (15.4 percent). Im surprised Asiatas ownership has stayed this low following the Adrian Peterson injury. Jerick McKinnon is the starter and better overall talent, but Asiata is still earning work -- and some of it in important situations (namely goal-line carries). He has scored in consecutive weeks. The Vikings go on a bye in Week 6, but Asiata can be used in 14- or 16-team leagues upon return.Eddie Royal, WR, Chicago Bears (41.2 percent). It was Cameron Meredith who was the breakthrough star for the Bears in Week 5. Royal, who we highlighted in this column last week, caught seven passes for 43 yards. He does most of his work at or near the line of scrimmage, making him a worthwhile PPR addition in 12-team or larger leagues.Chris Hogan, WR, New England Patriots (34.8 percent). Another Patriot who saw the benefit of having Tom Brady back in the fold. Hogan provided a vertical spark for the offense, going over 100 yards in Week 5 on just four catches. Hes an add in deeper leagues for now. The Patriots still feature so many capable pass-catchers, that volume might be an issue for Hogan going forward. But were intrigued after Week 5.Per the request of some readers, here is a list of names that can be dropped in ESPN 10-team standard leagues. These players are owned in 50 percent or more of leagues: Lions WR Golden Tate, Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett, Bears RB Jeremy Langford, New York Giants QB?Eli Manning,?Los Angeles Rams?WR?Tavon Austin.
