How to watch this game in the United States
The NBA date listing has no national broadcaster attached to Magic–Suns. Start with the official matchup page and your local provider’s schedule. A blank national field is not a promise of unrestricted League Pass access.
NBA League Pass can be affected by local and national blackouts. Use your location when checking the NBA blackout guide before buying access. The official game page is also the place to check later viewing updates.
What comes before this matchup?
Phoenix hosts Orlando one night after its home game against Portland. Orlando’s preceding listed game is Monday at home against Washington. Thursday is therefore a Phoenix home back-to-back, while the Magic change cities between their two dates.
Wednesday’s opponent and channel do not identify Thursday’s game. On a television guide or ticket screen, check the visiting team, home team and November 5 date together. Player availability and starting lineups have not yet been announced.
