The NBA announced that the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets will meet in The NBA China Games during the 2026 preseason. The Mavs and Rockets will play a pair of games at The Venetian Arena in Macao on October 9 and 11.
“The games in Macao earlier this season showed how much passion and enthusiasm there is for the NBA among fans in China and across Asia. We look forward to welcoming the Mavericks and Rockets to Macao and to once again engaging fans, aspiring players and the local community through the games and surrounding events,” NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum said.
The Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns met this past October in The NBA China Games, with a pair of preseason matchups.
