DIRECTV's Sports Equinox Multiview
DIRECTV says it will offer a curated Multiview with four games, one from each league, on one TV screen. You'll only see the games whose networks are in your package. DIRECTV hasn't said publicly which four games it picked, though the national games above are the likeliest. Multiview works on compatible DIRECTV receivers and devices. NBCSN isn't part of DIRECTV's lineup, so DIRECTV customers who want Warriors at Nuggets should watch it on Peacock.
Offers tied to the Equinox
DIRECTV says customers on the ENTERTAINMENT package can get one month of the Sports Pack at no extra charge, and new MySports customers can start with a five-day free trial. MySports includes NFL Network, MLB Network, NBA TV and NHL Network. DIRECTV is also running a free-to-play DraftKings prediction contest across the four leagues with prizes of up to $5,000.
The rest of Monday's NBA slate
The NBA has nine games that night. Besides Warriors at Nuggets, the rest are on regional channels, starting with Wizards at Hornets and Timberwolves at Cavaliers at 7 p.m. ET.
Finding games with Sports Central
DIRECTV's Sports Central feature lets you follow teams, see schedules and scores, and get alerts before games start, which helps on a night with this many overlapping start times.
