Watch Oprah’s new series

‣ If anyone knows how to have a must-see conversation, it’s Oprah Winfrey. In her new series, The Oprah Conversation, she leads intimate discussions with today’s foremost newsmakers, thought leaders, and masters of their craft. The two-part premiere, available now, features Emmanuel Acho, host of Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man.

Get back on the court

‣ The NBA is officially back—and the NBA app is ready. To catch the action, check out the app’s League Pass and League Pass Premium tiers. Both stream out-of-market games live and ensure you don’t miss a minute of what promises to be a season unlike any other. NBA is also packed with highlight clips, breaking news alerts, the latest scores, and a deep repository of stats.

Tip off

‣ Prefer to play along? Fire up NBA Live Mobile Basketball. Build a new lineup with stars from the 22 returning NBA teams and dribble through daily events based on the games leading into the playoffs. Will the Bucks or Lakers reign as champs, or will an underdog rise to take it all? That’s up to you.

Game on!

‣ Good news, hockey fans: The NHL returns tomorrow with a modified tournament that will determine seedings for the Stanley Cup playoffs. Watch out-of-market games live or on demand in the official NHL app.

Celebrate a bird-day

Angry Birds 2 is five years old! Skip the traditional five-year-anniversary gift (something wood) and celebrate the foul fowl by playing a birthday-themed adventure level. They’re wearing special party hats too!

Get a little fresh air

‣ Nothing quiets the mind and puts you in touch with nature like a long walk. Use AllTrails to discover nearby trails, paths, and parks—they might be closer than you think.
