History of NBA Regular Season Games Played in Europe
The NBA first began playing regular season games in Europe in March 2011 when the Raptors and Nets took the floor at the 02 Arena in London.
Since then, there have been 12 games played in Europe, including three played at the Accor Arena in Paris. Cleveland defeated Brooklyn 111-102 in last year’s featured contest in Paris.
This will be the first time since that inaugural series in 2011 where the teams will be playing multiple games.
Each trip to Europe since then has only featured one game, so this is a rare European trek that will feature two games in three days.

It’s a very small sample size, but a victory in Paris has created good vibes and positive momentum for the winning team.
Each of the previous three winners in Paris went on to win their next game after returning home by double-digits.
Keep that in your back pocket as Indiana returns home to play the Pistons and the Spurs face the Clippers next week.
Spurs vs Pacers 2025 NBA Paris Games Preview
The Spurs and Pacers meet in NBA Paris Games 2025 as fans in France will be eager to cheer on their countryman hero Victor Wembanyama.
This will be the French star’s first appearance playing in his home country since he led the national team to an Olympic silver medal in Paris with the team losing to USA 98-87 in the gold medal game.
San Antonio has been off since losing at Miami 128-107 on Sunday as they look to snap a three-game losing streak. They rank 15th in defensive efficiency for the season but it’s been worse as of late allowing 122 ppg across their last six games.
Indiana has been in solid form as of late going 8-1 both straight up and ATS across their last nine games while ranking third in defensive rating in their last ten games overall.
A small factor in this game will be the status of Spurs power forward Jeremy Sochan who although has been listed questionable for the past few games, hasn’t played since Jan. 6.
Spurs vs Pacers Predictions
His status aside, our power ratings favor the Pacers which is the play we’ll recommend here going 2-0 ATS already this season off 4+ days of rest and San Antonio 1-2 ATS in the same situation.
Pacers rank top ten in fast break points scored per game with the Spurs bottom ten in fast break points given up in addition to bottom ten in points in the paint given up per game with the Pacers ranking top ten in that category on offense as well. Take Indiana to win by multiple baskets.
Spurs vs Pacers Prediction: Pacers -3.5
