The NBA season begins tonight (the Bulls will be in action tomorrow), plus you can see the No. 2 team in college football polls is on national TV. That’s a pretty good selection for a random Tuesday night in October.
↵6:30 p.m., TNT: NBA, Heat at Celtics. That’s two games on national TV and counting for the Heat, including the preseason game from last week.
↵6:30 p.m., Versus: NHL, Sabres at Flyers.
↵7 p.m., ESPN2: College football, Louisiana Tech at No. 2 Boise State. Your hint that this is going to be a blowout is the 48-16 loss Texas A&M pinned on Louisiana Tech on September 11. That’s pretty close to the average points scored/allowed for Boise State all year.
↵9:30 p.m., TNT: NBA, Rockets at Lakers. The defending champions open their season at home.
