How to watch

4K is no problem for the Chromecast with Google TV; give it a 25 Mbps connection and a 4K TV and the sharper feeds hold up. For basketball, frame rate matters as much as resolution. There's no contract and no card on file waiting to be charged again: plans are prepaid, with a 7-day refund window.

  • Keep the league channel and the national networks next to each other in favorites.
  • Set the player buffer to a medium value, about 2 to 3 seconds, so short dips do not freeze a possession.
  • West Coast tip-offs can run past midnight Eastern; catch-up lets you finish the game the next morning.
  • Fast breaks expose a weak connection first. If the picture smears in transition, drop from 4K to HD.
