Comcast SportsNet will dedicate much of this week to covering the start of the Wizards season, broadcasting the team's first three games and airing a one-on-one interview with star guard Gilbert Arenas.

"Wizards Tip-off Week" will feature all three of the week's games in high-definition, plus three hours of coverage leading up to the home opener on Saturday. New host Ronnie Thompson will join Chris Miller for interviews, special guests and other analysis.

The interview with Arenas was conducted by Phil Chenier and will air tonight after the Wizards-Pacers game. Coverage of the game will start tonight at 6:30 p.m.

Also this week, Chick Hernandez will have a five-part series looking at Caron Butler's childhood, including interviews conducted in Butler's hometown of Racine, Wis. CSN will also broadcast features on rookies Nick Young and Dominic McGuire, as well as a sit-down interview with coach Eddie Jordan.
