The best two words in sports define today’s NBA playoff action: Game 7. After continuing the trend of home team victories, Indiana took care of business Friday night at home to even up their series with the Knicks and force a decisive Game 7 today in Madison Square Garden. The winner of this contest, set for 3:30 p.m. ET (12:30 p.m. PT) on ABC, will take on the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals starting on Tuesday.
After dominating displays by the Timberwolves to open the first two games, the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets rattled off three impressive wins of their own to take command of the best-of-seven series. Thursday night, however, saw the Timberwolves once again show off their impressive defense en route to a 45-point win to knot up this series at three games apiece.
Sunday, of course, will bring this deciding game with tip-off set for 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on TNT. The winner will head to the Western Conference Finals to take on Dallas Mavericks starting on Wednesday.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch or stream the games today and the rest of the NBA playoffs.
Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets will return home for Game 7 in their series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
How to watch the NBA playoffs
The remaining NBA playoff games are being shown across three channels: ABC, ESPN and TNT. You can watch the games with a cable subscription or a live TV streaming service.
Three of the five major services offer all four channels. Fubo lacks TNT, which airs a big portion of the NBA playoffs including the Western Conference Finals, making Fubo a poor choice for hoops fans. You can, however, watch TNT broadcasts of playoff games with Max.
