National games: The NBA’s published national listings identify Philadelphia 76ers at Indiana Pacers on ESPN / ESPN App; Oklahoma City Thunder at Dallas Mavericks on ESPN / ESPN App. A blank network in the dated schedule is not a promise that a game is free or unavailable; regional channels and later assignments can differ.
Which games stand out?
Philadelphia at Indiana and Oklahoma City at Dallas are the two ESPN listings. The Lakers also visit the Clippers in the 12-game slate. This is schedule context, not a prediction of the result, starting lineups or player availability.
How to watch from the United States
ESPN/ESPN App, NBC/Peacock and Prime Video require the applicable channel, service or subscription for their listed national games. For a game without a listed national network, use the NBA’s current game page or Tap to Watch to find the local telecast. NBA League Pass is for eligible out-of-market games and is subject to local and national blackouts; it is not a blanket free stream.
