Information checked: November 5, 2026, 03:02 UTC (November 4, 9:02 p.m. CST in San Antonio). This is a time-stamped game preview and schedule reference, not a confirmed final-score report.
The San Antonio Spurs entered their Wednesday, November 4, 2026, home game against the Dallas Mavericks on a five-game winning streak, while Dallas sought a response to a costly loss to Sacramento. The nationally televised Texas matchup was scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST, UTC−06:00) at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, equivalent to 9:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00) and 02:30 UTC on Thursday, November 5. ESPN is the confirmed U.S. national broadcaster.
At this check, the accessible NBA game listing still displayed the scheduled matchup and did not provide a verifiable final score. Because the scheduled start time had passed, readers should consult the official live game center for the in-progress score, confirmed starters and, eventually, the final box score. The pregame records were San Antonio 5–2 and Dallas 4–3; neither should be mistaken for an updated postgame standing.
The NBA lists the game as Dallas Mavericks at San Antonio Spurs, game ID 0022600184, at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. The NBA and Mavericks’ official schedule both give an 8:30 p.m. CST start. November 4 falls after the U.S. daylight saving time change on November 1, so San Antonio is on standard time, not daylight time. The conversion to UTC therefore crosses into November 5.
| Location or time standard | Scheduled start |
|---|---|
| San Antonio, CST (UTC−06:00) | Wednesday, November 4, 8:30 p.m. |
| New York, EST (UTC−05:00) | Wednesday, November 4, 9:30 p.m. |
| Los Angeles, PST (UTC−08:00) | Wednesday, November 4, 6:30 p.m. |
| UTC (UTC+00:00) | Thursday, November 5, 2:30 a.m. |
These are the scheduled start times, not timestamps for the first basket, live score or article publication. The listed arena and time can be checked in the official Mavericks game details and the NBA game center.
The reliable fact at the time of this source check is the official fixture, not a completed result. The accessible game page had not yet returned a verified final score. NBA games can begin later than their listed television slot, and a search result marked “final” without complete scoring data is not sufficient evidence of the result.
For live scoring, quarter-by-quarter updates, substitutions and a verified final score, use the NBA game center. Once the league posts the complete box score, that should replace a pregame description in any subsequent result-focused update. Do not treat the earlier 122–106 Spurs win as the score for November 4.
The Spurs opened the season with losses to Oklahoma City and Houston, then won five straight to reach 5–2. Their most recent game before hosting Dallas was a 119–97 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday, November 2. San Antonio spread the scoring burden throughout its rotation, with Dylan Harper scoring 17 points and the entire starting five reaching double figures.
Victor Wembanyama remains central to the matchup because of his impact at both ends. The Dallas Mavericks team preview listed him at 25.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 4.0 blocks per game entering this contest. His rim protection can change Dallas’ shot selection, while the Spurs can also generate offense through De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper and Devin Vassell.
Dallas entered 4–3 after a 115–100 home defeat against the Sacramento Kings on November 2, a game that ended its three-game winning streak. Daniel Gafford and Walter Clayton Jr. each scored 20 points, while Cooper Flagg finished with 17 on 3-for-19 shooting. The result puts special emphasis on whether Dallas can improve its ball movement, protect possessions and find better looks against San Antonio’s defense.
The Mavericks’ own preview said Kyrie Irving was expected back in the lineup after missing the Sacramento game because of left-knee injury management. That was a pregame expectation, not a guarantee of minutes or a confirmed appearance. His potential return would provide another creator alongside Flagg and ease the offensive load on Dallas’ younger players.
San Antonio won 122–106 at Dallas on October 24, 2026. The Spurs recorded 34 assists on 48 made field goals, an example of the passing and coordinated offense Dallas needs to disrupt. Wembanyama supplied 23 points, seven rebounds and four blocks; Harper scored 22; Castle and Fox had 19 apiece.
That result comes with an important qualification: Flagg was absent with a shoulder issue and Irving did not play, according to Dallas’ official preview. It offers useful evidence about San Antonio’s strengths but is not a direct forecast for the rematch. The November 4 outcome depends on who actually plays, shot quality, turnover margin and defensive execution.
Published game-day injury information identified four Mavericks as out: Dereck Lively II (foot), Max Christie (hip), Sergio de Larrea (knee) and Tarik Biberovic (heel). Santi Aldama appeared with a knee issue and his participation designation varied among updates, so his status should not be treated as definitively confirmed without a newer official report. Caleb Martin was listed as available in the more recent pregame reporting.
For San Antonio, Tobias Harris (calf) and Jayden Quaintance (knee) were listed as out. The NBA requires teams to update injury designations leading up to games, and the league’s NBA official 2026–27 injury reports remains the authoritative place to check the latest submitted status. An “available” designation is not proof that a player started or appeared; the official box score establishes participation.
Fans should also be cautious about projected starting fives on third-party sites. A projection is not a team announcement. For confirmed starters, consult the live NBA game center or team communications close to tipoff.
ESPN scheduled the game as the second part of its November 4 national NBA doubleheader. The network’s own ESPN broadcast announcement identifies the matchup and confirms that ESPN games are also available through the ESPN App, subject to the viewer’s access arrangements. The NBA game center also identifies ESPN as the television broadcast.
Because streaming rights and subscriptions differ by territory and service, confirm access through ESPN or the NBA’s official watch information rather than assuming a particular streaming plan includes the game. Local radio information listed by the NBA includes WOAI/KXTN 105.3 The Fan and Spanish-language KFZO-FM.
At the rim: San Antonio’s interior defense, led by Wembanyama, challenges Dallas to finish efficiently and avoid rushed attempts. If the Mavericks successfully pull defenders away from the paint, open perimeter opportunities could become more important.
Ball security: Dallas struggled to shoot efficiently and committed 16 turnovers in its loss to Sacramento. A cleaner offensive game would limit San Antonio’s chances to build momentum from defensive stops. Conversely, turnovers against an athletic Spurs roster could quickly widen the margin.
Supporting contributors: Harper, Castle and Fox give San Antonio more than one way to score. On the other side, Flagg’s efficiency, Gafford’s work inside and the bench’s contributions all matter, especially if Dallas is missing multiple rotation players. These are matchup considerations, not predictions presented as confirmed events.
A San Antonio victory would extend its winning streak to six, while a Dallas win would end it and provide a response to the Sacramento defeat. Neither outcome is established by the sources available at the stated check time. The official result and subsequent standings should be taken from NBA records only after the game is completed.
The scheduled tipoff was Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at 8:30 p.m. CST (UTC−06:00) in San Antonio, equivalent to 9:30 p.m. EST (UTC−05:00) and 02:30 UTC on Thursday, November 5.
