How many NBA games are on Friday, Oct. 30?
Ten, according to ESPN's schedule, starting with the Charlotte Hornets at the Washington Wizards at 7 p.m. ET. Several are NBA Cup group-play games.
What channel are NBA games on tonight?
Each score card lists the TV and streaming networks ESPN reports for that game. Many regular-season games air on NBA League Pass and local regional networks rather than national TV.

Yes. The Pacers star has a strained left hamstring and will miss time, four games into his return from a torn Achilles, as we reported on Oct. 28.
How often do these scores update?
The scoreboard refreshes itself without reloading the page: about every 10 seconds while a game in the league you are viewing is live, and about every 60 seconds when nothing is live. It pauses while the browser tab is in the background and refreshes as soon as you come back. Scores come from ESPN's public scoreboard and can run a few seconds behind the TV broadcast.
