You can access all your NBA information on Amazon’s Alexa starting on the regular season’s opening night on Oct. 17. All 30 teams will be launching via Alexa Skills. The NBA is the first professional league to do so.

Want to stay up-to-date on the defending champion Golden State Warriors? Say, “Alexa, enable Warriors.” Instant access to scores, stats and more will be available.

Once enabled, users can stay in tune with their favorite team without physically searching a thing. Ask Alexa for the top news from your team’s website and she’ll respond with headlines which you can skip through or ask to hear the full article.

Keep track of the playoff race by asking Alexa what place your favorite team is in. This is a suggested feature for Warriors fans, not so much for Chicago Bulls fans.

In June, Amazon announced Sirius XM was bringing sports radio broadcasts to Alexa. Sirius XM All-Access subscribers gained instant access to MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR broadcasts and much more.

With the new update, Amazon Alexa expands its insider NBA coverage past cruel burns of teams.
