The 2019-20 NBA season schedule tips off with a battle for Los Angeles supremacy as the Lakers take on the Clippers at the Staples Center.

Both teams roll out completely overhauled rosters after a hectic offseason. The Lakers acquired Anthony Davis in the offseason from the Pelicans to pair with LeBron James, as well as a revamped supporting cast of Avery Bradley, Danny Green and Dwight Howard.

The Clippers, meanwhile, brought in two-time NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard to pair with star scorer Paul George, forming one of the best duos in basketball. Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell, Landry Shamet and Ivica Zubac round out a rotation that figures to compete for a championship.

Below is all the info you need to watch Lakers vs. Clippers on Tuesday, including tip-off time, TV channel, both teams' upcoming schedule and a full schedule for the first two nights of the NBA regular season.
