76ers vs. Knicks

The Philadelphia 76ers are set to face the New York Knicks on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden, with the game broadcast on NBC and Peacock. Both teams have undergone significant roster changes during the offseason. The 76ers have added Jaylen Brown, LeBron James, and Anfernee Simons to their lineup, though the health of Joel Embiid remains a key question. The Knicks enter the season looking to defend their championship, with Jalen Brunson as a primary option. However, the team faces challenges including contract negotiations with Karl-Anthony Towns and a potential loss of depth.

Projected Starting Lineups:

Philadelphia 76ers: Tyrese Maxey (PG), VJ Edgecombe (SG), Jaylen Brown (SF), LeBron James (PF), Joel Embiid (C).

New York Knicks: Jalen Brunson (PG), Josh Hart (SG), Mikal Bridges (SF), OG Anunoby (PF), Karl-Anthony Towns (C).

Thunder vs. Spurs

Later that evening, at 9:30 p.m. ET, the Oklahoma City Thunder will play the San Antonio Spurs at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, also airing on NBC and Peacock. This game marks a rematch of last year's Western Conference Finals, where the Spurs eliminated the Thunder. The Thunder, who won the championship two seasons prior, are looking to rebound after their postseason exit. The Spurs, on the other hand, are aiming to begin their championship journey after having lost in the NBA Finals, a performance that highlighted areas where they need to improve.

Projected Starting Lineups:

Oklahoma City Thunder: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (PG), Cason Wallace (SG), Jalen Williams (SF), Chet Holmgren (PF), Isaiah Hartenstein (C).

San Antonio Spurs: De’Aaron Fox (PG), Stephon Castle (SG), Dylan Harper (SF), Devin Vassell (PF), Victor Wembanyama (C).
