The Oklahoma City Thunder will battle with the Portland Trailblazers on October 29 at the Moda Center at the Rose Quarter in Portland, Oregon.

The game will begin at 10:30 pm ET and can be viewed online through live stream via the link provided below (free for subscribers).

The Thunder will open their 2014-2015 campaign on the road on Wednesday night, minus their greatest superstar Kevin Durant due to an injury.

The reigning NBA MVP, who already had surgery to repair his broken right foot, is not expected to debut this season until the middle of December.

"I'm not going to rush it at all. That is the one thing that I don't want to do. I am sure I'll feel better in two or three weeks, but I definitely don't want to rush it and wind up hurting it any more. I'm taking my time with it. I'm just blessed that it happened early in the season where I can get past it. Hopefully by December I will be ready to play," said Durant to reporters.

"When you can't play - in my case and in Russell's case, it was for a long time - but when you take it away, you realize how much you appreciate it and how much you love it. I can't stop saying it: I've just got to find a way to help and be the leader that I am, and everything is going to work out."

Durant's longtime teammate (and fellow superstar) Russell Westbrook addressed starting the season without arguably the second best player in the NBA.

"It's different, obviously. We've just got to find a way to get it done - continue to lift teammates up, go out and compete, and find a way to win," said Westbrook to reporters.

Meanwhile, the Trailblazers will look to defend their home court versus their NorthWest divisional foes the Thunder on Opening Night.

Damian Lillard is looking forward to facing a familiar foe (the Thunder) after finishing second behind Oklahoma City in their division this past season.

"I think over the last couple of days in practice we've been doing a lot of playing up and down. Everybody has been playing hard and competing so I think the last couple of days have been great for us, especially coming to this altitude. We were just hoopin'. That was the biggest thing. That's what we've been doing all week and it showed," said Lillard to reporters.
