The first round threw up some big shocks, with the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets both beaten by lower seeds, but the rest of the top teams remain in the mix for the NBA Finals.

Every match means more at this time in the NBA schedule and UK viewers won't have to miss a minute of action.

Amazon Prime Video and Sky Sports are the primary linear NBA broadcasters, while every match will also be available via NBA League Pass.

Amazon rules the roost when it comes to the Play-In Tournament but Sky Sports will be back in the mix when the Playoffs start.

Radio Times brings you a round-up of live NBA on TV today and coming up.
