Which games are on Prime Video?
Philadelphia visits Cleveland at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, then Portland visits the Lakers at 10 p.m. Eastern. Those two games carry the Prime Video assignment in the NBA’s U.S. national listing. Check your account’s U.S. access and subscription terms. The assignment does not also apply to the games starting at the same time on other courts.
How to follow the simultaneous NBA Cup games
East Group C has Washington–Atlanta and Boston–Charlotte starting together at 7 p.m. Eastern. West Group B has Oklahoma City–Memphis and Minnesota–New Orleans together at 8 p.m. Eastern. West Group C closes with Portland–Lakers and San Antonio–Sacramento together at 10 p.m. Eastern. Following either of those groups means choosing between overlapping games, not waiting for one to finish before the other begins.
Games with no national channel listed
The other seven matchups have no U.S. national broadcaster displayed. That is not a guarantee of free access or unrestricted NBA League Pass viewing. Use the linked matchup guides and your location to check local providers and blackout rules. The NBA blackout guide explains the general restrictions.
Arena-local times can differ from the table
The Dallas, Memphis, Milwaukee and New Orleans games all begin at 7 p.m. Central, which is the 8 p.m. Eastern / 5 p.m. Pacific block. Los Angeles and Sacramento begin at 7 p.m. Pacific. A 7 p.m. arena time therefore does not mean that all six games start simultaneously.
Starting lineups and player availability have not yet been announced. For the previous evening, see the November 5 NBA schedule.
