Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, and Orlando Magic became the final teams to secure a first round spot through the Play-In Tournament but this is where the serious stuff really starts.

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.
