NBA Games on TV – Sunday, May 10, 2026 (ET)
The NBA Conference Semifinals continue Sunday with two critical Game 4 matchups. The New York Knicks attempt to complete a sweep in Philadelphia, while the San Antonio Spurs look to move within one win of the Western Conference Finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
🏀 Game of the Day: San Antonio Spurs vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (Game 4)
7:30 PM ET | NBC, Peacock
The San Antonio Spurs enter Game 4 with a 2-1 series lead and a massive opportunity to take full control of the Western Conference Semifinals. After stealing another road victory in Game 3, the Spurs are now one win away from putting Minnesota on the brink of elimination.
Victor Wembanyama once again dominated the spotlight in Game 3, taking over late in the fourth quarter to carry San Antonio to a 115-108 victory. His impact on both ends of the floor has completely altered the series, forcing Minnesota to constantly adjust its defensive approach and offensive spacing.
The Spurs’ defensive strategy has been highly effective throughout the series. Their aggressive perimeter pressure, transition pace, and ability to funnel drives toward Wembanyama inside have disrupted Minnesota’s rhythm. However, the Timberwolves still managed to create extra possessions in Game 3 by dominating the offensive glass.
Minnesota desperately needs a response at home. Chris Finch is expected to make major tactical adjustments, particularly regarding how the Timberwolves defend Wembanyama and attack San Antonio’s paint protection. Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert will need stronger performances if Minnesota hopes to even the series.
Another key storyline is De’Aaron Fox’s offensive production. While Wembanyama has carried much of the scoring burden, Fox remains the player best equipped to exploit Minnesota’s perimeter defense and create offense in transition.
Why It’s the Game of the Day: A Spurs victory would create a commanding 3-1 series lead, while Minnesota is fighting to keep its season alive on home court.
Prediction: Minnesota responds with desperation and energy at home, but San Antonio’s defensive structure and Wembanyama’s dominance keep the game extremely close deep into the fourth quarter.
New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers (Game 4)
3:30 PM ET | ABC
The New York Knicks head into Philadelphia looking to complete a sweep after taking full control of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with a 3-0 series lead. New York’s offense has consistently exposed Philadelphia’s defensive weaknesses throughout the series.
Jalen Brunson has repeatedly punished the Sixers’ drop coverage, while New York’s physicality and depth have worn down Philadelphia over the course of games. The Knicks have dominated second-half adjustments throughout the postseason and continue to look like one of the league’s most complete playoff teams.
Philadelphia now enters desperation mode in what could be its final home game of the season. The Sixers are expected to play with maximum urgency early, hoping the home crowd can help generate momentum before New York settles into rhythm.
Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and Joel Embiid must deliver their best performances of the postseason to extend the series. However, Philadelphia has struggled to slow New York’s offensive execution in late-game situations.
Prediction: Philadelphia competes aggressively early, but New York’s balanced offense and second-half execution eventually secure the series sweep.
Sunday’s playoff schedule features elimination pressure in the East and a pivotal momentum swing in the West as the Conference Semifinals intensify.
