NBA live stream and betting
Cavaliers v Heat – Saturday, January 26 at 00:30 GMT
This is a late one for UK NBA live stream and betting fans. But it will be well worth watching. The Cavs and Heat both come into the game on losing streaks — and these fallen giants are desperate for a win.
Cleveland remain rock bottom of the Eastern Conference and are winless in five games. Incredibly, they have lost with a 15-point deficit or more in each of these five losses. A lack of superstar firepower in the post-LeBron James era has knocked them back severely.

The Heat have fared better this season but, in reality, this is still a major disappointment to their previous dizzying heights. Miami, ninth in the Eastern Conference, lost to the Clippers and Celtics this week. They have managed the +100 points mark just once in their last five outings.
With that in mind, expect this to be a low-scoring affair. Miami have already beaten Cleveland 118-94 and 117-92 this season. A similar scoreline is likely. The Heat are 1.28 to win and 2.15 to win with a -10 handicap.
Pelicans v Spurs – Saturday, January 26 at 23:00 GMT
This is the one NBA live stream UK fans can watch and bet on before midnight on Saturday evening. And that’s a shame as there are some enticing fixtures available into the early hours of Sunday!
Still, the Spurs should put on a show here in New Orleans. Sitting sixth in the Western Conference, San Antonio have lost two games on the bounce. They pushed the 76ers close on Thursday but ended up 122-120 losers in Philadelphia.

DeMar DeRozan is persistently putting in high-scoring figures for the Spurs and he is the man to back in this match. There have been questions over his injury status and the 29-year-old has been criticised in recent weeks. Yet it’s for the rest of the Spurs team to match his standard, rather than DeRozan pick up even more of the team slack.
Expect DeRozan to be on fire against the Pelicans. But Spurs may still not win. New Orleans are having a largely miserable season but have pulled out impressive wins against the Grizzlies and Clippers of late. With guard Jrue Holiday persistently in the scoring, the Pelicans are a good outside bet to win this home game.
Clippers v Kings – Sunday, January 27 at 20:30 GMT
Sunday’s game sees two teams who had high hopes for this season battle it out for mid-conference mediocrity in the West. The Clippers have so far held their own in a city now obsessed with LeBron James and the Lakers. They sit eighth in the Western Conference and probably out of a playoff chance.
The Kings — two places below — have failed to find any real form this season. They play the Raptors before this Clippers game in the fifth and last outings of a six-game tour of the USA. The Kings have so far won once during this away stretch and it’s hard to see them winning either game this weekend.
LA beat Miami 111-99 on Thursday and will travel to the Bulls before this Kings game. Tobias Harris is in fine scoring mode but his disastrous outing against the Mavericks in midweek proves he isn’t the man to back to get the points every game.
The Clippers should win this tie and comfortably. It’s the last game of a long tour for Sacramento and many of their players may be on cruise control here.
