The Suns will also reportedly be traveling to play the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 24, the league's opening night. The Los Angeles Lakers will travel to play the Denver Nuggets on that day, too. 

The Suns perhaps made the most noise out of any team thus far with the addition of Bradley Beal and key signings in the free agency market to supply depth. They also fired head coach Monty Williams and hired Frank Vogel.

With Beal alongside Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, the Suns figure to be favorites to make a deep push in the West, if not appearing in the NBA Finals. 

The Mavericks hope more time with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving can help propel them to new heights in the West, too.
