The NBA on NBC's first ever MLK Day quadrupleheader tips off January 19 at 1 p.m. ET with the Milwaukee Bucks visiting the Atlanta Hawks, exclusively on Peacock. It's an Eastern Conference showdown between a tough Bucks squad and an up and coming young Hawks team.

Up next, at 2:30 p.m. ET, the reigning champs, the Oklahoma City Thunder, visit one of the most exciting teams in the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers, on NBC and streaming on Peacock. 

At 5 p.m. ET, you can catch the upstart Dallas Mavericks visiting the stout New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, on NBC and streaming on Peacock.

And then, in what could very well be an Eastern Conference playoffs preview, the quadrupleheader concludes at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock with the Boston Celtics, the 2023/24 NBA champs, visiting the Detroit Pistons, one of the league's more surprising elite teams this season.

If Peacock NBA Monday doesn't have enough hoops action for you, then you're our kind of hoops lover. And fortunately, we've got just the fix!

On January 20, the NBA on NBC's Coast 2 Coast Tuesday doubleheader tips off at 8 p.m. ET with a battle for Texas supremacy (sorry Mavs) as the young and hungry San Antonio Spurs visit the tough as nails Houston Rockets.

The second game of the night features two more elite Western Conference squads, as the Los Angeles Lakers visit their recent nemesis the Denver Nuggets, who've been surging despite learning to play without three-time league MVP, Nikola Jokic.

Both games can be viewed on NBC and streamed on Peacock.
