The NBA’s preseason schedule resumes on Monday night with six games. The Celtics and 76ers meet in a battle of teams that made the playoffs a year ago, and both are looking for their second win of the preseason. The Dallas Mavericks, who are also going for their second victory, will meet in-state foe Houston.

The Orlando Magic travel to Cleveland as they continue to adjust to life without center Dwight Howard, and the Wizards face off against the Nets in a matchup of teams looking to become more competitive in the Eastern Conference. The Golden State Warriors have a game in Denver and the Trail Blazers are up against the Kings in Sacramento.

Here is the complete Monday night schedule, including start times (all times Eastern):

Boston Celtics at Philadelphia 76ers (7 p.m.)
Orlando Magic at Cleveland Cavaliers (7 p.m.)
Washington Wizards at Brooklyn Nets (7:30 p.m.)
Houston Rockets at Dallas Mavericks (8:30 p.m.)
Golden State Warriors at Denver Nuggets (9 p.m.)
