NBA restart schedule: Nets face Magic first

The Brooklyn Nets hold a half-game lead over the Orlando Magic in the standings. The two teams start their Disney slate against each other.

Zion Williamson and his New Orleans Pelicans teammates will kick-off the NBA’s restart at Disney World in Florida when they face the Utah Jazz on July 30. The Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers will then square off afterward, leading into a six-game slate on July 31.

That’s when the Brooklyn Nets’ will have their first game. And it’s only fitting that the Nets begin the restart against the team they lead by half a game in the Eastern Conference Standings: the Orlando Magic.

The Nets and Magic will tip-off at 2:30 p.m. on July 31.

Here are the other seven games on the Nets’ restart, regular season schedule:

  • Friday, August 2 vs. Washington at 2 p.m.
  • Sunday, August 4 vs. Milwaukee at 1:30 p.m.
  • Tuesday, August 5 vs. Boston at 9 p.m. (on ESPN)
  • Wednesday, August 7 vs. Sacramento at 5 p.m.
  • Friday, August 9 vs. Los Angeles Clippers at 9 p.m.
  • Tuesday, August 11 vs. Orlando at 1 p.m.
  • Thursday, August 13 vs. Portland (time TBD)

If Nets are forced into a play-in game, they will play on either Aug 15 or 16.

The 2020 NBA Playoffs begin on August 17.
