Get back on the court

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.

Tip off
‣ Prefer to play along? Fire up NBA Live Mobile Basketball.

Will the Bucks or Lakers reign as champs, or will an underdog rise to take it all? That’s up to you.
Game on!
