Every single NBA game during the regular season and playoffs is televised. Almost all of them can be found on the league’s NBA TV app . There are also many games during the season that can be found on ABC, ESPN, and TNT. Furthermore, all the various teams in the Association also have broadcast deals with local networks in their home cities.
NBA streaming is not free. You can either stream a plethora of games for this season on NBA League Pass for $99.99, or on NBA TV for an annual rate of $59.99 — or $6.99 monthly.
TNT will broadcast 65 matchups on the NBA games today schedule this season. You can view them via your local cable provider or streaming services like YouTube TV, as well as on the TNT app.
After MLB, the NBA games today schedule is one of the longest and most arduous in North American professional sports. From October to April, all 30 teams compete in 82 games — 41 each home and away.
The season is done this way so each team can play division rivals four times, six other teams in their conference four times, the remaining teams in the conference three times, and then a pair of home and away matchups against the fifteen teams from the opposing conference during the season.
However, there have been rumblings in recent years that the length of the NBA season very well could be cut by several games in the near future.
In the 2023 NBA Finals, two-time league MVP Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets were able to bring Denver their first NBA championship when they were able to upend the Miami Heat in five games. Get a look at the final scores for each game in the 2023 NBA Finals below.
Similar to playoff series in other sports leagues like MLB and the NHL, the NBA Finals is a best-of-seven series. The quarterfinals, semifinals, and conference finals of the NBA playoffs are also seven-game series.
