How to Watch Laker Games
The Lakers begin their first full season with Luka Doncic — and potentially their last with LeBron James — hoping to improve over last year’s five-game first round playoff exit.
As one would expect for a team led by James and Doncic, the Lakers are scheduled for a whopping 42 games on national TV this season. That includes 13 on ESPN/ABC (highlighted by a Christmas matchup with Houston), 11 on NBC Sports (including four Peacock exclusives), ten on Amazon Prime Video and eight on NBA TV.
