Six marquee matchups by which to measure Warriors during 2025-26 NBA season
Six marquee matchups by which to measure Warriors during 2025-26 NBA season originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Warriors believe the vast improvement they experienced after acquiring Jimmy Butler III was no mirage. That their 27-8 record with Stephen Curry and Butler in the lineup tells them they can play with the best of the NBA.
Yet most interested observers align with the oddsmakers, who remain unconvinced. They’re awaiting compelling evidence.
The Warriors can begin submitting that on opening night, when they play the first of six games that should provide a fair assessment of where they stand in the league and their postseason ceiling.
Here is a look at those games, and why they can dictate Golden State’s status in 2025-26:
Oct. 21 at Los Angeles Lakers
What better way to immediately turn heads than going on the road and beating the league’s most publicized team – and most publicized superstar?
The Warriors were 1-3 against the Lakers last season, but the losses came before both teams made major changes February. LA acquired Luka Dončić and Golden State added Butler. On April 3, with playoff positioning at stake, the Warriors made a statement with 123-116 win at Crypto.com Arena.
While Golden State’s roster is unfinished, LA this summer added starting center Deandre Ayton and defense-first guard Marcus Smart. Moreover, Dončić is in the best condition of his seven-year career.
No matter Golden State’s personnel on opening night, a loss to the Lakers would give LA an early edge in what will be a savage battle for playoff seeding in the Western Conference.
Nov. 11 at Oklahoma City
Classic battle of accomplished upstarts vs. experienced squad rich with ingenuity.
The defending champion Thunder are built for today, tomorrow and probably the next 30 years. The Warriors’ core – Draymond Green, Curry and Butler – is built for yesterday but determined to show it has what it takes to flourish against the league’s young bucks.
OKC is trying to become back-to-back champs, something not done since the 2018 Warriors. The Thunder, then, hope to go where Curry and Green have been. As deep and young and kinetic as this roster is, this challenge is the biggest they have known.
No better means of measurement than facing the NBA kings in the league’s most imposing building. A loss would not be catastrophic, but winning at OKC would make a statement huge enough to be discussed and dissected for several days.
Nov. 19 at Miami
Butler returns to the place where he validated his stardom before an ugly exit.
Jimmy’s departure from South Beach had the elements of high drama. Pat “The Godfather” Riley, Hall of Fame coach and one of the most astute executives in NBA history, calls out his franchise player in public. Franchise player barks back. Both are too proud to budge. Coach and team are stuck in the middle of a feud that simmers for months before Riley sends Butler to Golden State.
The trade was a form of salvation for both teams. The Heat, shedding a massive distraction, finally could exhale and focus on basketball. The Warriors, after treading water for almost four months, could sprout wings and fly.
The victor on this night, whether Butler or Riley, will grin his way out of Kaseya Center.
Dec. 25 vs. Dallas
With the return of Warriors legend Klay Thompson and the Bay Area initiation of teenage sensation Cooper Flagg, the NBA hands Dub Nation two gifts on Christmas Day at Chase Center. There’s an outside chance Kyrie Irving, rehabilitating from a torn ACL sustained in March, could be back.
The teams split four games last season, with 1-1 records on each side of the Dallas trade featuring Anthony Davis and Dončić and the Golden State deal featuring Andrew Wiggins and Butler. With Davis and Irving missing substantial portions of the second half of the season, the Mavericks tumbled out of play-in tournament position.
Though Dallas is rejuvenated by the lottery gift that is Flagg, Warriors-Mavericks shapes up as a clash of teams projected to struggle to rise above the play-in tournament.
Jan. 24 and 26 at Minnesota
Was Minnesota’s playoff sweep of the Steph-free Warriors a definitive statement of supremacy, or a simple matter of a severely diminished roster?
The Warriors went into the conference semifinals feeling good about themselves, based on their 3-1 record against the Timberwolves in the regular season. Their confidence was further boosted by their victory in Game 1 at Target Center.
When Curry missed the next four games with a strained left hamstring, the Wolves feasted, in the process making the Warriors look too small, too slow and vastly inferior.
Golden State will have had more than eight months to digest its abrupt postseason exit. Revenge can’t come until the second half of the season, two games over three days on the road. A sweep would be fantastic, a split acceptable. Getting swept would be a punch in the mouth.
Four more games that can tell a story
Oct. 23 vs. Nuggets (snapped nine-game losing streak to DEN in April), Oct. 28 vs. Clippers (went 0-4 against LAC last season), Nov. 26 vs. Rockets (Kevin Durant joins feisty squad), April 12 vs at Clippers (second consecutive season finale vs. LAC)

Warriors' 2025-26 NBA schedule released, featuring matchups vs. Lakers, Clippers
Warriors' 2025-26 NBA schedule released, featuring matchups vs. Lakers, Clippers originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Warriors’ marquee 2025-26 regular-season games and NBA Cup matchups already have been announced by the league, but on Thursday, the rest of Golden State’s slate was revealed.
After opening the season against the Lakers in Los Angeles on Oct. 21, the Warriors return to the Bay for a four-game homestand against the Denver Nuggets on Oct. 23, the Portland Trail Blazers on Oct. 24, the Memphis Grizzlies on Oct. 27 and the LA Clippers on Oct. 28.
In addition to hosting the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day, the Warriors also welcome the Miami Heat to Chase Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Day – Monday, Jan. 19.
NBC Sports Bay Area will air 63 regular-season Warriors games, with each game also available in the NBC Sports app.
The Warriors are scheduled to have seven games on NBC and four games on Peacock, the new broadcast home of the NBA.
The Warriors begin their quest to win the 2025 NBA Cup on Nov. 7 against the Nuggets. Golden State also has Group C games on the road against the San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 14 and at home against the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 21 and the Houston Rockets on Nov. 26.
Golden State gets to test itself against the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder three times by early January. The Warriors travel to OKC on Nov. 11 for their first meeting. Then the Thunder visit San Francisco on Dec. 2 and Jan. 2. The final matchup between the two Western Conference powers comes on March 7 at Paycom Center.
As Steph Curry and LeBron James wind down their Hall of Fame careers, every meeting between the two superstars carries extra weight, which is why the NBA has them facing off on Opening Night. But after that game, the Warriors and Lakers don’t see each other again until Feb. 7, again at Crypto.com Arena. The two meetings at Chase Center come on Feb. 28 and April 9.
After Kevin Durant and the Rockets visit San Francisco in late November, the Warriors travel to Houston on March 5. The final meeting between the teams occurs on April 5 at Chase Center.
The Warriors will make their first trip of the season to Sacramento on Nov. 5, with the Kings traveling down I-80 for a Jan. 9 game at Chase Center. The final two meetings between the Northern California rivals will come within four days at the end of the season. They will play April 7 in San Francisco and at Golden 1 Center on April 10 – Golden State’s second-to-last regular-season game.
If Steph Curry hadn’t injured his hamstring in Game 1 of the Warriors’ second-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves in May, Golden State might have won the series. This season, they won’t see each other until Jan. 24 and Jan. 26 when they play a mini two-game series at Target Center. Their only meeting at Chase Center is on March 13.
If Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Co. are deep in the playoff race, the final game of the season could have massive implications, as the Warriors face the Clippers at Intuit Dome on April 12.
The Warriors have high hopes entering the season and they’ll learn a lot about the roster during the first 20 games.
Kings' 2025-26 schedule released by NBA, with game dates, times, TV info
Kings' 2025-26 schedule released by NBA, with game dates, times, TV info originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The day has arrived: The Kings’ schedule for the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season is out.
As it was reported earlier this week, Sacramento will open the new campaign on the road against the new-look Suns at 7 p.m. PT on Wednesday, Oct. 22, in Phoenix. Devin Booker no longer has Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal by his side, but he will be accompanied by his new partners-in-crime, Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks, who were shipped to Phoenix as part of the trade that sent Durant to the Houston Rockets this offseason.
Sacramento’s home opener will take place at 7 p.m. PT on Oct. 24 against the Utah Jazz at Golden 1 Center, and the excitement will continue over the weekend as the Kings host LeBron James, Luka Dončić and the Los Angeles Lakers at 6 p.m. PT on Oct. 26.
The Kings’ first road trip of the season won’t be an easy one, first facing the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder on Oct. 28, and then some familiar faces with a matchup against the Chicago Bulls on the second half of a back-to-back on Oct. 29. They then take on two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on Nov. 1 and wrap up the road trip in Denver against three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets.
Steph Curry and the Warriors come into town on Nov. 5 for the first game of the season between the NorCal rivals, and all eyes could be on the biggest storyline of the offseason, Jonathan Kuminga, who the Kings have had notable interest in.
The Kings’ first game against their former face of the franchise will come on the road against the Spurs on Nov. 16 in San Antonio. But Fox won’t return to the place he called home for more than seven years until March 17, 2026, when the Kings host his Spurs at Golden 1 Center at 8 p.m. PT. The game will be nationally broadcast on NBC.
Sacramento will face Durant and the revamped Rockets for the first time on Dec. 3 in Houston. The Rockets then will head to California’s state capital a few weeks later for a rematch on Dec. 21 at Golden 1 Center.
On Jan. 14, former Kings coach Mike Brown, who was fired last December following a 13-18 start in his third season with the organization, will return to his former workplace when his Knicks come into town. New York hired Brown last month to replace Tom Thibodeau at the helm.
Here is the full schedule:
The Kings’ 2025 NBA Cup action begins with a tall task against the Thunder on Nov. 7 at Golden 1 Center. Sacramento also will play the Timberwolves in Minnesota on Nov. 14, host the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 26 and face the Jazz in Utah on Nov. 28.
The Kings’ regular-season finale will come against Damian Lillard and the Trail Blazers on April 12 in Portland.
Sacramento is slated for nine nationally televised games.
The time is near, Kings fans.

Olympic champion writes lengthy Instagram post
American says he would hesitate to let sons compete
Michael Phelps has launched a scathing attack on USA Swimming’s leadership, with the 23-times Olympic gold medallist branding the body weak and demanding sweeping reforms after what he sees as years of organizational decline.
“I’ve watched too many teammates struggle to compete in a sport they love without the support they need,” Phelps, who retired from competitive swimming in 2016, wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. “I’ve also seen the sport struggle to return its membership numbers to pre-pandemic levels, and I’m done pretending this system works just because it produces medals.
