NBA takes over TV on MLK Day: Schedule, how to watch, stream games

Bad 2025 NBA predictions
NBA predictions from 2025 we want to take back.
The NBA’s slate for Martin Luther King Jr. Day is enormous, including a quadruple-header on NBC. Fans will get to see a myriad of stars take the court for the holiday, including reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Stephen Curry, Cade Cunningham, Jaylen Brown, and Victor Wembanyama among many more.
Even better, games will be happening all day with the first contest on Jan. 19 starting at 1 p.m. ET, with the final game of the day beginning nine hours later. So, there’s chance we could experience over 12 straight hours of NBA basketball, if we’re lucky.
