The Kings will play four games against two Pacific Division foes.
The defending National Basketball Association champion Los Angeles Lakers will play on the first night of the preseason, technically a home game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Some of the most interesting match-ups that we'll see in preseason are Lakers - Clippers, Nuggets - Warriors and Mavericks vs Bucks.
The Raptors are on the road against the Hornets Dec. 12 and 14, and then face the Miami Heat in a "home" game on Dec. 18 to round out their three-game pre-season.
The new-look Toronto Raptors will open their three-game National Basketball Association pre-season in Charlotte. The NBA has also scheduled the coming season to tipoff December 22nd.
That Dec. 18 game is Toronto's lone home game on the preseason schedule. Jazz on Dec. 12; Wizards vs. Nets on Dec. 13; and Celtics vs. 76ers on Dec. 15. That is also the Wizards' preseason opener, so it could be the first instance of Washington guard John Wall playing in an National Basketball Association game since December 26, 2018; he missed much of the 2018-19 season and all of last season following separate surgeries on his heel and Achilles tendon. The preseason schedule will begin with a five-game slate on December 11 - highlighted by a meeting between the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers and their co-tenants at Staples Center, the LA Clippers. The second half of the schedule, which will cover games scheduled March 11 to May 16, will be released late in the season's first half, with the delay allowing the league to include "any games postponed during the first half that can reasonably be added to the second-half schedule".
