The Washington Wizards’ 2018-19 schedule was released on Friday afternoon, with their season opener on Oct. 18 against the Heat and their last regular season game on April 9 against the Celtics, both at home.
The Wizards will see Kevin Durant and the defending-champion Warriors very early, in just their fourth game, on the road. That is part of an unusually early West Coast swing that also features the Blazers.
The Warriors will come to Washington on Jan. 24 in their second and final meeting. The Wizards will host LeBron James and the Lakers on Dec. 16, reigning MVP James Harden and the Rockets on Nov. 26, Russell Westbrook and the Thunder on Nov. 2 and Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors on Oct. 20.
After playing the Celtics on Christmas Day last season, the Wizards were not listed as one of the ten teams on the 2018 NBA Christmas Day schedule.
