Jazz vs Nuggets live stream: How to watch the NBA playoffs Round 1 series

We’re watching Jazz vs Nuggets live streams to see how the depleted Utah team can survive Round 1

Jazz vs Nuggets is about to tip off, today (Mon. August 17) at 1:30 p.m. ET. Following games will be on TNT and ESPN, full schedule below.

Today’s Jazz vs Nuggets live stream is about to begin, but we’re guessing that Utah might have liked a little more time before this Round 1 NBA Playoffs series begins. No matter who wins, this best of 7 set is followed by the semi-finals against the favored Clippers or the underdog Mavs. 

Fortunately for Denver, this isn’t their first rodeo. It’s their second. Yes, most of the Nuggets squad got their first playoff experience in last year’s playoffs. And this year, they’re starting off with a couple of advantages over the Utah Jazz.

First off, the Jazz are down both Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist surgery) and Mike Conley (left the bubble), and the latter’s averaged over 14 points per game that the Utah squad will have to find elsewhere. 

Oh, and Denver won all four of these teams’ regular season games, most recently winning in double overtime. Jazz coach Quin Snyder thinks his team needs to thrive behind the 3-point line in order to win big. 

The big matchup on everyone’s mind? How will the Jazz’s Rudy Gobert (two time NBA Defensive Player of the Year) manage to limit Nuggets center Nikola Jokic? Jokic averaged more than 29 points per game (with 9 rebounds per game) in the three games he played against Utah this year.

So, here is everything you need to watch the Jazz vs Nuggets live stream today — and for the rest of this Round 1 series as well.

If you’ve had to leave your own « bubble » — or you’ve been hit by a dreaded local blackout — and you can’t watch Jazz vs Nuggets live streams on cable, you’re not out of luck. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won’t hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for. 

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We’ve tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you’ve got other VPN options as well. Here are our top picks.

We think speed, security and simplicity make ExpressVPN second to none. During our tests, we saw fast connection times, and we’re impressed by the service’s ability to access more than 3,000 services spread out across 160 locations in 94 countries. There’s a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied.View Deal

In the U.S., viewers will watch the series of Jazz vs Nuggets live streams on ESPN (which has game 1) and TNT. Oh, and don’t worry about the rest of the games, we’ve got full series schedule, with start times and channels below. Cable subscribers won’t have trouble finding TNT and ESPN. Both are on Sling TV and the fan favorite fuboTV.

But if Basketball is your only sport, the NBA League Pass isn’t a terrible deal with packages start at $20 per year — and $29 per year for access to all teams. Though it suffers local and national blackout games, like any other service.

Of the available streaming services, we recommend fuboTV and Sling TV, two of the picks on our best streaming services list. ESPN and TNT are both included in the Sling Orange package, which costs $30. Other NBA 2020 Playoffs games will be on ABC, so pick Fubo to get that too (Sling doesn’t have ABC).

Sling TV: You can get both TNT and ESPN in the Sling Orange package. CNN, the Food Network, AMC, Cartoon Network and HGTV are among the other 31 included channels. View Deal

Fubo.TV: If you love sports, you probably want to check out Fubo.TV. It’s got a 7-day free trial so you don’t need to pay up front, and in addition to all three channels you’ll need for this series, it’s also got the basic TV channels, including AMC, Food Network, USA and VH1. Plus, it’s got NBA TV (in the $5.99 fubo Extra add-on), which will have other playoff games.View Deal

British hoop fans always impress me by how late they can stay up to watch American sports, but that won’t be necessary for all of these games. The Jazz vs Nuggets live stream for game 1 is at 6:30 p.m. BST. The games will air on  Sky Sports, and those without Sky Sports can pick it up from Now TV, with prices starting at £9.99.

NBA League Pass is also available in the U.K., at £42.99 for the rest of the year and serves up all of the games with no blackouts.

TSN is the home of the Jazz vs Nuggets stream in Canada. TSN can be added to your package if you don’t have it already. It’s going to be on TSN1.
