What channel is the warriors game on tonight 2022 directv

The NBA returns with a doubleheader on TNT! In Game 1 (7:30 p.m. ET), the Boston Celtics host the Philadelphia 76ers, while Game 2 is a must-see matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers.

The reigning NBA champions begin their title defense at home as Steph Curry and the Warriors host LeBron James and the Lakers on Tuesday night. Last season, Golden State memorably defeated the Boston Celtics to capture their fourth title in seven years (2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022), while Los Angeles missed the playoffs, ending the 21-22 season with a disappointing 33-49 record.

The Warriors lost Gary Payton II and Otto Porter from last year’s squad, but the team added Donte DiVincenzo and JaMychal Green and hope to give more minutes to their young trio of James Wiseman, Moses Moody, and Jonathan Kuminga.

Which team will start the 22-23 season off with a victory? We’re about to find out. From start time to live stream info, here’s how to watch tonight’s Lakers/Warriors game on TNT.

After watching the NBA Playoffs from home the last two seasons, the Warriors are highly motivated to make it back to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2019. But it won't be easy for them, as Luka Doncic and Mavericks are standing in their way.

Golden State finished the regular season as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. The Warriors took care of business in the first round by beating the Nuggets in five games. The Grizzlies posed a more serious threat in the second round, but Golden State was able to close out that series in six games.

Dallas, meanwhile, ended the regular season as the No. 4 seed in the West. The Mavericks started the NBA Playoffs without Doncic, as he was sidelined with a calf injury for two first-round games. The Mavericks still throttled the Jazz in the first round, though, winning in six games. They then took their game to another level in the second round, beating the top-seeded Suns in seven games.

Can Doncic and the Mavs continue their stellar play and win on the road in Game 1? Or will the Warriors' championship pedigree give them an early advantage?

Here's everything you need to know about Game 1 between the Warriors and Mavericks, including the TV channel and start time.
