Heat vs. Mavericks: How to watch, TV channel, start time (Jan. 1)

The Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks will play the first NBA game of 2021 on Friday evening, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Heat (2-2) rebounded from a 47-point loss to the Bucks by beating Milwaukee in a rematch on Wednesday despite not having star Jimmy Butler in the lineup. Butler has missed Miami’s last two games with a sprained ankle, but did travel with the team to Dallas.

The Mavericks (1-3) have been oscillating between blowout losses and wins. Dallas destroyed the Clippers 124-73, but followed up that performance by losing to the Hornets at home by 19.

Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:

  • Date: Friday, January 1st

  • Time: 7:00 p.m. ET

  • TV Channel: Fox Sports South (MIA) / Fox Sports Southwest (DAL)
