The NBA’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day tradition continues this year with a nine-game roster featuring some of the league’s top stars.
It all started at Madison Square Garden with a Monday afternoon game between the Magic and the Knicks followed by a contest between the Timberwolves and the Hawks in Atlanta, home of the MLK. There will be five nationwide televised clashes (two on NBA TV, three on TNT), including a battle of former MVPs as Stephen Curry’s Warriors take on LeBron James’ Lakers to close the night.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch NBA games on MLK Day, including a full schedule with TV channels and start times.

NBA games postponed to MLK Day 2021
From Sunday evening, Cavs vs. Wizards is the only game that has been removed from the MLK Day Schedule. Due to contact tracing within the team, Washington does not have the minimum number of players required to play the game.
“We currently have nine players who are in protocol. Six have tested positive for COVID-19,” Wizards general manager Tommy Sheppard said on Friday. “We certainly won’t be able to play those games on Sunday and Monday. … It’s just an unfortunate set of circumstances.”
