Buying NBA tickets now or when they are released

I'm looking to go to Lakers vs Rockets and need to buy tickets. The only problem is that they aren't releasing tickets until late this year. They haven't even announced the date yet but it is said to be late November for this game.

Now I could go buy resale or secondary tickets on Seatgeek or Stubhub now or I could wait until the official tickets are released.

I'd imagine that the tickets would be better value when actually released by NBA or should is it all pretty similar?

Stubhub.
When the NBA release tickets a lot of seating won't be available due to season ticket holders, those seats very well may be available on Stubhub as the season ticket holder may be unable to make the game for a variety of reasons and have his/her tickets up for sale.

I think if it was me and it was a must go to game, I would buy in advance to ensure I had seats. Moreso for peace of mind than anything else, but of course YMMV

You'll pay through the nose for Stubhub seats right now but at least they will be guaranteed. Be prepared to fork out a couple of hundred for relatively poor seats.

If you wanted to wait until the day of the game, stubhub prices come down as the sellers get desperate.

Yeah the tickets are nuts. Lower bowl middle nothing under $1000. Corner of lower bowl ~$700. Upper bowl all around $300.

Exchange rate doesn't help.

That's why I was hoping that when the greater supply come out with actual tickets that there might be some alright tickets.

I went to a lakers game in 2018 and lower bowl middle price was $210 day of the game off stubhub. Does depend on the conditions, div and rivalry games tho.
