Nope. None of the NBA Finals will be offered in 4k Ultra HD this year. In fact, with the exception of one or two Denver Nuggets games, there have been no NBA playoff games from the 2021/2022 season broadcast in 4k. Meanwhile, select MLB games (usually with a subscription required) and some USFL games have been broadcast in Ultra HD.
However, we’ve found the streaming quality of NBA games to often surpass the 720p and 1080i broadcasts found on cable and satellite channels, as long there is sufficient bandwidth. For example, ESPN can deliver 1080p (Full HD) quality at 60fps (although the TV must support 60fps).

Great post! I wasn’t sure if the NBA Finals would be available in 4K this year. It’s awesome to know that we can enjoy the games with such amazing picture quality. Thanks for the info!
Great insights on the availability of the NBA Finals in 4K! I can’t wait to watch the games in such high definition, especially with all the action on the court. Hoping more streaming services start offering it soon!
