Tip is 3 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, the first game of Opening Night.

Player arrivals run 11 a.m. to noon, with Isiah Thomas and Jerry Stackhouse signing.

Noon to 2 p.m. on the plaza: a petting zoo, cider and donuts, and a skills challenge.

The first 2,000 fans get Thunder Sticks, and every fan gets an Opening Day T-shirt.

One fan gets a half-court shot at $100,000 in the third quarter.
