Thursday’s complete NBA slate
The visiting team is listed first. All dates and times in this table are U.S. local dates, not the following morning in Asia.
| Matchup | Eastern | Pacific | U.S. national TV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orlando Magic at Phoenix Suns | 9 p.m. | 6 p.m. | No national assignment listed; check local availability |
| Miami Heat at Golden State Warriors | 10 p.m. | 7 p.m. | NBA TV |
Which game is on NBA TV?
Miami visits Golden State in the 10 p.m. Eastern window. NBA TV is the national assignment shown by the league. Check whether your television or streaming package includes the channel and whether local-market restrictions affect your access. A schedule listing is not a promise of free streaming.
How to find Magic–Suns in your market
Orlando–Phoenix has no national channel displayed in this schedule. Use the official Magic–Suns matchup page to find local viewing options. NBA League Pass availability depends on your location and local or national blackouts. Check the ZIP-code result and the game listing before purchasing a subscription.
Phoenix is on a different local clock from California
The Phoenix tip-off is 7 p.m. Arizona time. The Warriors game starts at 7 p.m. Pacific in California, one real hour later. Eastern and Pacific clocks have returned to standard time by this date, while Phoenix stays on Mountain Standard Time. This is why the two arenas can both show a 7 p.m. local start without the games starting together.
Planning a two-game evening
The starts are one hour apart, so the games will overlap. A viewer choosing between them can start with Orlando–Phoenix and switch to the national NBA TV game at 10 p.m. Eastern. Starting lineups and player availability will be clearer closer to tip-off.
