Before the Super Bowl 2024, start your Sunday with some NBA action. Two games will be played on Sunday afternoon. One of them involves two bitter rivals in the Eastern Conference. The Boston Celtics, the best team in the East, head to South Beach to play the Miami Heat.

With days remaining before the All-Star break, Boston is in a great spot. The Celtics are the clear favorite in the East and hold a multigame lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers for the No. 1 seed. Meanwhile, the Heat are in the middle of the pack as they try to move into the top six to avoid the Play-In Tournament.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Atlanta Hawks live stream: How to watch the NBA online
Luka Doncic walks down the court for the Mavericks.

Friday night will feature an exciting NBA game between two of the best young talents in the league. Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks head to State Farm Arena to face Dejounte Murray and the Atlanta Hawks. The game tips off on NBA TV at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on January 26.

Dallas and Atlanta are two teams heading in different directions. Dallas is currently a play-in team in the Western Conference. Although the Doncic and Kyrie Irving pairing has worked this year, Dallas needs to trade for another wing who can hit an outside shot and guard multiple positions. Meanwhile, Atlanta is below 500 and going nowhere fast. With the trade deadline a few weeks away, do not be surprised if Murray moves to a different team in February.

Miami should have their newest acquisition from the Charlotte Hornets, Terry Rozier, playing against the Celtics.
