Every kid dreams of going to Disney World, but the current NBA bubble in Orlando? It's taken the fantasy to a whole new level. Mickey Mouse and all-you-can-eat hoops? Try telling anyone - let alone a child - that isn't living the dream. Of course, the NBA's stay at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex is no holiday, having been brought about by the awful Covid-19 pandemic. But as things start to ease, it's only natural to entertain the idea of what your ideal vacation might look like - and in the meantime, simply great to have basketball back. Follow our guide as we explain how to watch an NBA live stream and catch every game online as basketball's 2019/20 season returns this August.

Each of the 22 teams remaining - eight have already been eliminated - play a further eight 'seeding games' against opponents prised from their remaining regular-season games. These 'seeding games' will ultimately determine who goes to the playoffs and in what order, with the results of the matchups being applied to the existing NBA standings as they stood when the league halted playback in March.

The playoff format looks much the same as it has in previous years, with eight teams each advancing from the Eastern and Western Conference. The usual tie-breakers will be implemented where two teams finish with the same record, but there is one novel addition to the end of this year's season in light of the Covid-19 shutdown.
