<p>The NBA regular season is drawing ever closer with each passing day, with teams working hard to ensure they are ready to compete when it matters.</p> <p>Everyone knows that a good start can be vital, even in an 82-game season. While there can be time to turn things around, preseason is all about ensuring teams build momentum, get warmed up, and ensure players are at their best to take on whoever they come up against on the court.</p> <p>October 11 is another day when some of the NBA’s franchises have the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season, with four games scheduled for Saturday.</p> <h2>NBA Preseason October 11 Betting Preview</h2> <p>The four games that have been scheduled for Saturday, October 11, as part of the 2025/26 NBA preseason are:</p> <ul> <li>Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics (09:00 AEST)</li> <li>Philadelphia 76ers vs Orlando Magic (09:00 AEST)</li> <li>San Antonio Spurs vs Utah Jazz (10:00 AEST)</li> <li>Portland Trail Blazers vs Sacramento Kings (12:00 AEST)</li> </ul> <p>We have already previewed the game between the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics, and that one is arguably the biggest of the four meetings scheduled to take place on Saturday. Both teams have big stars on their rosters, with Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes, and RJ Barrett possibly taking to the court for the hosts. The Celtics will be without Jayson Tatum, but could have Jaylen Brown and Derrick White involved in some capacity.</p> <p>Still, each game will feature some potentially exciting stars that can involve prop bets that may bring value. For the game between the 76ers and Magic, Joel Embiid could be of interest, as could Paolo Banchero. The Spurs vs Jazz could see Victor Wembanyama and Ace Bailey be of intrigue; while the Trail Blazers may have Damian Lillard feature after returning to the franchise in the offseason against the Kings.</p> <h2>NBA Preseason October 11 Betting Predictions</h2> <p>At Sportsbet, we have each and every game covered with our dedicated <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba-preseason-matches">NBA preseason match betting odds</a> page, and the offering for October 11’s slate of fixtures will be just as comprehensive.</p> <p>As we outlined in our Raptors vs Celtics betting preview, we expect the visitors to continue their dominance over the Canadian NBA team. They have a solid record when playing against them, having won nine of their last ten meetings, and in convincing fashion too. Backing the spread is the value bet in this one.</p> <p>Elsewhere, as we alluded to earlier, player prop bets could be worth value. Embiid and Banchero could have a shootout in terms of points scored if they both feature in the 76ers vs. Magic game; Wembanyama and Lauri Markkanen could be of interest in the same market during the Spurs vs. Jazz matchup.</p> <p>The Trail Blazers vs. Kings contest should see the hosts emerge victorious, as their head-to-head record is significantly better. Still, Sacramento has been competitive and holds a win in their last meeting.</p>
