Viewers on DStv and GOtv can look forward to thrills and spills from the world\u2019s best basketball league, with ESPN and ESPN 2 the premier venues for coverage of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 2022-23 season will continue through the week of Friday 31 March to Thursday 6 April 2023.<\/p>\n

DStv and GOtv is your home of the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network.<\/p>\n

The first live NBA game this week arrives on the morning of Friday 31 March, as the New Orleans Pelicans head west to take on the Denver Nuggets in Colorado (04:30 LIVE on ESPN 2).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Pelicans will look to second-year pro-Trey Murphy III, who has enjoyed a great season and was particularly brilliant in a recent triumph over the Portland Trail Blazers. \u201cTrey was incredible,\u201d Pelicans coach Willie Green said of the franchise\u2019s 2021 first-round draft choice. \u201cHe\u2019s a shot-maker and he\u2019s having an unbelievable year. I\u2019m extremely proud of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The morning of Saturday 1 April brings a clash between the Boston Celtics and the Utah Jazz at the TD Garden (01:30 LIVE on ESPN 2).<\/p>\n

The Jazz\u2019s Talen Horton-Tucker has upped his game in recent weeks and will be hungry to continue his form against the Celtics. \u201cHe understands what is real and what is not,\u201d Utah coach Will Hardy said of Horton-Tucker, a second-round draft pick in 2019. \u201cHe understands that so far to date he hasn\u2019t really gotten what he\u2019s wanted in the NBA. He wants to play more. He wants to be in the rotation. He wants to be a key player.\u201d<\/p>\n

This will be followed by the Golden State Warriors hosting the San Antonio Spurs in San Francisco (04:00 LIVE on ESPN 2).<\/p>\n

The Spurs have endured a miserable season but have unearthed a potential \u2018diamond in the rough\u2019 in the shape of Sandro Mamukelashvili, a 23-year-old Georgian power forward who has impressed legendary coach Gregg Popovich.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a talented kid. We like his game. He has got really good athleticism. He is a player who knows how to play the game. He plays the European style, and that\u2019s movement. He\u2019s smart, so I was thrilled for him. He did a good job for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The final live game of the weekend will be played on the evening of Sunday 2 April, as the Utah Jazz battle the Brooklyn Nets in a clash in the \u2018Big Apple\u2019 of New York (21:30 LIVE on ESPN).<\/p>\n

Mikal Bridges has been one of the driving forces behind the Nets\u2019 improvement since they traded away Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. \u201cEven if we don\u2019t know what we\u2019re doing sometimes, just scrambling, all five guys help each other,\u201d Bridges said. \u201cSometimes, it\u2019s not going to be perfect, but I think just the next guy stepping up is the biggest thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
