Which start time applies to this matchup?
Charlotte and Washington meet in East Group C. Friday has another Group C game, Chicago at Boston, but that starts half an hour later. Hornets–Wizards is the first tip-off on the entire 10-game NBA slate, so a reminder based on the nationally streamed Knicks game would miss the opening half hour.
