Magic-Hawks will feature “On the Bench” coverage, NBC Sports’ production innovation that dedicates one analyst to each team and positions that analyst courtside with their team, allowing for the analysts to be immersed in the action of their respective teams and delivering information straight from the bench. NBC Sports’ Michael Grady will call the action with Austin Rivers and Jordan Cornette as “On the Bench” analysts. Rivers will be dedicated to the Magic and Cornette with the Hawks.
Orlando and Atlanta are both in the Eastern Conference playoff race, sitting at seventh and ninth in the Conference, respectively.

The Magic and Hawks are a combined 15-5 in their last 20 games.
Following Magic-Hawks, two of the all-time greats in LeBron James and Kevin Durant go head-to-head for the 45th time in their careers (including playoffs) when James’ Los Angeles Lakers (40-25) visit Durant’s Houston Rockets (40-25) from Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, at 9:30 p.m. ET on Peacock and NBCSN. James leads the all-time series, 24-20.
The Lakers are coming off a decisive win over the Timberwolves on Coast 2 Coast Tuesday, led by NBA scoring runner-up Luka Dončić’s seventh triple-double of the season (31 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists). The Rockets’ ascendant 2024 No. 3 overall pick, Reed Sheppard, is averaging 16.5 points per game in March, bolstering an elite offensive squad that includes Durant, two-time NBA All-Star Alperen Şengün, and rising star Amen Thompson.
NBC Sports’ Noah Eagle (play-by-play), Mike Fratello (analyst), and Ashley ShahAhmadi (courtside reporter) will call Lakers-Rockets. The Sports Emmy Award-winning Fratello served as an analyst on NBA on NBC during the 1990’s, where he was dubbed “Czar of the Telestrator” by Marv Albert.
Later that night, two-time NBA All-Star Victor Wembanyama and the surging San Antonio Spurs (48-17) visit two-time NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers (33-32) from Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., at 10 p.m. ET on Peacock and NBCSN.
The Spurs have won 16 of their last 17 games, including back-to-back wins on NBC and Peacock (Sunday Night Basketball vs. Rockets and Coast 2 Coast Tuesday vs. Celtics). Wembanyama continues his meteoric rise, averaging 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 4.2 blocks in March, alongside a strong supporting cast of 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, 2025 No. 2 overall pick Dylan Harper, and two-time NBA All-Star De’Aaron Fox. Leonard ranks eighth in the NBA in scoring (28.3 PPG) and is coming off a 45-point performance in a win over the Timberwolves on Wednesday that saw the Clippers move above .500 after beginning the season 6-21.
NBC Sports’ Mark Followill (play-by-play), five-time NBA champion Derek Fisher (analyst), and Chris Mannix (courtside reporter) will call Spurs-Clippers.
