• Nov. 18 vs. Warriors at 7:00 p.m. ET: Golden State will walk into the AT&T Center just one month into the season, potentially with DeMarcus Cousins at its side, pending he’s healthy enough to play.
• Dec. 31 vs. Celtics at 7:00 p.m. ET: Nothing like a New Years Eve game, right?
• Jan. 3 vs. Raptors at 8:00 p.m. ET: Yes, the first time Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green will return to San Antonio as members of the Raptors. Expect cheers for Green and a mixed reaction for Leonard, after everything that transpired over the past 10 months.
• Feb. 22 @ Raptors at 7:00 p.m. ET: DeMar DeRozan’s return to Toronto must wait four months into the season.
• Mar. 18 vs. Warriors at 8:00 p.m. ET: A mid-March matchup that could mean plenty for the Spurs in the playoff race. It feels similar to last season, but that featured none of Golden State’s main players due to injuries, so the Spurs won.
• Apr. 10 vs. Mavericks at 8:00 p.m. ET: It’s not just the last game of the season, but potentially Dirk Nowitzki’s final NBA game.

There are plenty of notable games for the Spurs in the 2018-19 season that even go beyond those. Which ones are you most looking forward to?
