A Look At NBA On NBC Scheduling Quirk Plus How To Watch Both Games

To clear up any confusion about the NBA on NBC scheduling quirk for Tuesday night’s game, the 8 pm ET game airs in the eastern, central, and mountain time zones on NBC. The game can only be seen on Peacock for people on the West Coast. However, the 11 pm ET game is on NBC on the West Coast and available only on Peacock to the rest of the country.

There is some confusion about the mountain time zone, however. Despite NBC saying the mountain time zone shows the Western Conference game, most stations there show the Knicks-Bucks game. Nevertheless, both games are available on Peacock.

Knicks vs Bucks:

Where: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, WI.

Tip-off: 8 pm ET. Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025.

TV Channel: Peacock, NBC

Streaming: NBA League Pass, ESPN+, FUBO, Peacock.

The new-look Knicks under new coach Mike Brown’s uptempo offense are coming off a disappointing loss to the Miami Heat after impressively blowing out the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics to start their season. Jalen Brunson is still far and away their star man, averaging over 30 points to start the season.

Meanwhile, the Bucks are also coming off a defeat in their last game but sit 2-1 to start the season. Giannis Antetokounmpo put up a near 40-point triple-double, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Cavs. Giannis has done everything for his team so far, except wear a Superman cape.

Clippers vs Warriors:

Where: Chase Center, San Francisco, CA.

Tip-off: 8 pm PT, 11 pm ET. Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025.

TV Channel: Peacock, NBC.

Streaming: NBA League Pass, ESPN+, FUBO.

The 2-1 Warriors face the Memphis Grizzlies before their game against the Clippers in a packed and demanding schedule for Steve Kerr’s side. Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler III have both started well.

The Clippers also sit 2-1, having won two straight games. Both James Harden and Kawhi Leonard had impressive double-doubles in a win over the Blazers.
