NBA releases schedule despite lockout (AP)

The NBA champion Dallas Mavericks will open the season -- if it begins on time -- at home on Nov. 1 against MVP Derrick Rose and Chicago, then host Miami in a finals rematch Christmas Day. The NBA released its complete 2011-12 schedule Tuesday despite being in a lockout that could last months and cause it to be scrapped.
