This may be the last time I write the phrase Nuggets vs. Lakers live stream until the fall or 2024. After a third Denver win, Los Angeles has its backs against the wall to force another NBA Playoff live stream back in Denver.
Nuggets vs. Lakers live stream: Game 4
Date: Monday (May 22)
Time: 8:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m. PT / 1:30 a.m. BST / 11:30 a.m. AEDT
Watch in the U.S.: ESPN on Sling TV
Watch from anywhere: with ExpressVPN.
While the game was close for much of the night, Denver’s eventual 11 point win is evidence of LA’s inability to close. Also, LeBron James’ inability to sink a clutch shot. At one point, he missed a wide-open 3-point attempt.
Oh, and game 3? Denver won without one of Nikola Jokic’s signature triple-double performances. They didn’t need it because the whole team chipped him on offense and defense, including 37 points from Jamal Murray and 15 from Bruce Brown.
DraftKings, at the time of publication, has slightly wider odds, with the Lakers (-165) as slim favorites, and Nuggets (+140) as slimmer underdogs. So, betting $165 on the winning Lakers would earn you $100, and a $100 bet on the winning Nuggets would net you $140.

How to watch Nuggets vs. Lakers live streams from anywhere on Earth with a VPN
Having trouble actually getting ESPN? Even if you can’t watch the Nuggets vs. Lakers 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.
Nuggets vs. Lakers live streams in the US
The Nuggets vs. Lakers live stream of Game 4 is on ESPN at 8:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m. PT Monday (May 22). This series airs on ESPN and ABC/ESPN3.
If you’ve already cut the cord and don’t have a cable package? With the right pick from our best cable TV alternatives, you’ll be able to watch it and all of the NBA playoff games. But for as much as we like FuboTV, it doesn’t have TNT — which has the entire Celtics vs. Heat series for the Eastern Conference Finals.
Instead, you consider Sling TV, one of the best streaming services, which has TNT. For future NBA playoff live streams, ABC games will simulcast on ESPN3, which is available through Sling Orange. ABC is also available in select markets for Sling Blue. Those markets are Chicago (WLS), Fresno (KFSN), Houston (KTRK), Los Angeles (KABC), New York (WABC), Philadelphia (WPVI), Raleigh-Durham (WTVD) and San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose (KGO). All but Fresno, Houston and Raleigh will pay $5 more per month for ABC in either Sling Blue or Sling Orange & Blue.
Sling is 50% off for the first month making it a perfect place to watch all of the NBA playoffs. Sling Orange also gets you ESPN, and its Sports Extra pack gets you NBA TV.
Of course, you can also watch the games on the more expensive services, such as YouTube TV ($73 per month), Hulu + Live TV ($70 per month) and DirecTV Stream ($75 per month).
ABC can be pulled down with one of the best TV antennas.

Nuggets vs. Lakers live streams around the world
How to watch Nuggets vs. Lakers live streams in the UK
NBA fans in the U.K. will watch the Nuggets vs. Lakers live stream on Sky Sports Main Event and Arena at 1:30 a.m. BST.
If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn’t include Sports, you’ll need to pay £24/month to add those channels. You’ll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.
If you don’t want to shell out for a full Sky sub, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. Pricing starts at £11.98 for day & mobile month membership, with month-long access for £34.99.

Nuggets vs. Lakers live streams in Canada
Hoops fans in Canada can catch the Nuggets vs. Lakers live stream on TSN. It’s airing on TSN1 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Can you watch Nuggets vs. Lakers live streams in Australia?
Probably. Aussies can watch the 2023 Playoff live streams on Kayo Sports, a major destination for NBA action. ESPN Australia, if you get it, is another means, but it’s unclear if either will host the Nuggets vs. Lakers live stream.
Kayo offers a 14-day free trial for both its Basic and Premium plans, more than enough time to confirm they’re actually showing the games. The Kayo One package costs $25 per month thereafter, and Kayo Basic is $30.
The $35 per month Premium Kayo plan gives you all the same things as the normal plan, but it offers three simultaneous streams. The Basic plan gives you two streams at the same time.
Not in Australia but usually a Kayo subscriber? You may need a little help from a service such as ExpressVPN.
