NBA preseason schedule today:

Today is the final day of the NBA preseason and we have 8 matches. Here they are:

Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers (live on NBA League Pass)

  • Tip-off time: 23:00 GMT / 19:00 ET
  • Location: Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana

The first match of the day sees two Eastern Conference rivals expected to be fighting for the playoffs face each other in their last preseason test. The Pacers host the Cavaliers and the battle of the two backcourts promises to be exciting.

Orlando Magic vs Flamengo Flamengo (live on NBA League Pass)

  • Tip-off time: 23:00 GMT / 19:00 ET
  • Location: Amway Center in Orlando, Florida

The Magic wrap up their preseason with an exotic fixture against the Brazilian team Flamengo Flamengo. Orlando are likely to win easily and they could use this game to give their G-League talents and the rookies extended minutes before final decisions are made about who will enter the regular rotation and to what extent.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Atlanta Hawks (live on NBA League Pass)

  • Tip-off time: 23:00 GMT / 19:00 ET
  • Location: Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The 76ers host the Hawks in an interesting duel. Philly continue to be shaken by the James Harden saga. The multiple All-Star refused to train earlier this week as he continues to try and force a trade out of the club. Harden is not likely to play now.

The Hawks are still figuring out their roster after trading James Collins. At least, Young and Murray seem to be in good shape at the minute.

Toronto Raptors vs Washington Wizards (live on NBA League Pass)

  • Tip-off time: 23:30 GMT / 19:30 ET
  • Location: Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario

The Raptors wrap up their preseason with a home match against the Washington Wizards. With so many changes this offseason Toronto cherish every opportunity to try various things and see what works. More of the same can be expected now.

With the Wizards it is all about Jordan Poole and the volume shooter is given total freedom to do whatever he wants on the court.

Dallas Mavericks vs Detroit Pistons (live on NBA League Pass)

  • Tip-off time: 00:00 GMT / 20:00 ET
  • Location: American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas

The Mavericks finish their preseason with a clash against the young Detroit Pistons. The Mavs are seen by us as the potential pleasant surprise of the campaign and they should have more than enough firepower to overcome the modest Pistons.

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are playing better and better with each passing match, making the Mavs a team to watch out for when the true action begins next week.

Houston Rockets vs Miami Heat (live on NBA League Pass)

  • Tip-off time: 00:00 GMT / 20:00 ET
  • Location: Toyota Center in Houston, Texas

The Rockets host the Heat in what promises to be a close battle between two teams that are still trying to figure out their rotation.

The battle between the level-headed defenders Jimmy Butler and Dillon Brooks is likely to be the highlight of the night. Watch out for flagrant fouls and ejections with those two.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Memphis Grizzlies (live on NBA League Pass)

  • Tip-off time: 00:00 GMT / 20:00 ET
  • Location: Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Bucks host the Grizzlies, minus the suspended Ja Morant, in what is shaping to be a high-scoring final test for both sides.

Both teams are expected to use their starters and give them their normal minutes.

Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs (live on NBA League Pass)

  • Tip-off time: 02:00 GMT / 22:00 ET
  • Location: Chase Center in San Francisco, California

The final preseason match sees the new NBA superstar in the 2023 number one Draft pick Victor Wembanyama take his Spurs to the Chase Center for a clash against the golden veterans of the Warriors. We can’t wait to see how Draymond Green will guard Wemby and can the young French player cope with the constant switching the Warriors use.
