Lakers-Nuggets free live stream: How to watch NBA playoffs online, TV, time
The NBA playoffs have finally arrived and all the first round games have played one game thus far. Tonight starts the beginning of the second games for each series, as the Los Angeles Lakers face the Denver Nuggets tonight at 9 p.m. CT on TNT. Fans that do not have cable can live stream the matchup for free by using DirecTV Stream or purchasing a subscription to Sling at a discounted price.
Tonight’s matchup is the second game of a doubleheader transpiring on TNT, so fans will have plenty of NBA action to watch.
The Nuggets won the first game of this series, largely due to all five of their starters scoring double digits. Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets with 32 points on highly efficient shooting, while also accruing 12 rebounds and seven assists throughout the game. The collective effort from the Nuggets was enough to overcome the great performances by Lakers stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
James scored 27 points and Davis scored 32 points, but their best efforts were not enough to overcome the limited bench scoring and D’Angelo Russell’s rough shooting night. The Nuggets also made seven more three point shots than the Lakers, making it a difficult game for the Lakers to win.
Despite the double digit victory for the Nuggets in game 1, this series should be competitive in every game. James has pulled off crazier upsets in his past, so fans should try and tune into the action tonight by watching for free on DirecTV Stream or utilizing the discount offered by Sling.
Fans can also watch the 76ers-Knicks or Magic-Cavaliers tonight.
