The NBA season officially got underway on Tuesday with a trio of contests featuring some of the title favorites for the season ahead.

On Wednesday night, the season will commence for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have once again reshaped a roster in hopes of a title run.

The franchise has been close to a finals appearance in recent seasons, but last year fell in the Western Conference Semifinals to the Spurs. The team finished with a 49-33 record in the regular season.

This year, the team welcomes in another dynamic young scorer in LaMelo Ball, and said so long to Julius Randle as well as Naz Reid in the offseason.

Entering the opener tonight in which they are 1.5-point underdogs in Miami, the team has top 10 title odds.

Here's a look at the title odds just one day into the season:
