Add as a preferred source on Google

The Pacers and Knicks are tied 2-2 in the Conference Semifinals. The first three games  were decided within 10 points. The first two went to the Knicks, then the Pacers rallied for a close game three then decimated the Knicks in game four by 121 to 89. The Knicks are hoping to leverage their home court advantage tonight to rally from the devastating results of game four.

The New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers game is about to start, at 8:00 p.m. ET. It will be televised on TNT and TruTV, so there are several options for watching the NBA playoffs tonight. We’ve picked out what we think is the best deal, then given you some other options as well. Pick one soon before the game starts.

Watch the Pacers vs Knicks Game 5 live stream on Sling TV

We recommend getting a Sling TV Blue subscription. It’s normally $40 per month, but right now you can grab it for just $15 after a nice Sling TV deal that get you $25 off your first month. Unfortunately there is currently no Sling TV free trial. This won’t get you every game of the playoffs, as this package doesn’t include ESPN, but it will get you all of the TNT games, which include this one and the Timberwolves vs Nuggets game happening later tonight.

Other ways to watch the Pacers vs Knicks Game 5 live stream

There are two other popular streaming sites that can get you access to tonight’s NBA playoff game: Hulu and Max. If you opt for Hulu, you’ll need the Hulu with Live TV, package. There is unfortunately no Hulu free trial, and the full package is pretty expensive at $76 per month. However this does get you access to ESPN+ and Disney+ as well through the Disney Bundle. The cheapest version of Max is only $10 per month, but you’ll need to buy the B/R add-on if you want to watch live basketball, which costs $10 for $20 total. This does get you access to the rest of the NBA playoffs.

If you’re outside the U.S. and need a simple solution for streaming the NBA playoffs, look no further than a VPN. We recommend NordVPN as the best VPN in general. Just grab a subscription (almost perpetually on sale as part of NordVPN deals), connect to a server in the U.S., and start streaming the game with one of the options above. There’s even a server right in New York!

Apple announces new sci-fi film Liminal and I can’t wait for it
A strong cast and graphic novel roots make this new Apple film hard to ignore.

Apple just revealed Liminal, and it already looks like a serious contender for its next big sci-fi movie. With a clear sci-fi hook and recognizable names attached, this is the kind of announcement that’s easy to get invested in early.

The project comes from Apple Original Films and pairs Vanessa Kirby with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in leading roles. It’s directed by Louis Leterrier, who’s known for keeping stories fast and visually sharp, which already hints at a more kinetic kind of sci-fi than Apple usually leans into.

Harry Potter TV series’ first trailer is out and it feels like a replay I didn’t ask for
HBO had a chance to reinvent Harry Potter, but this feels like a visual rerun.

Well, HBO has finally dropped the first trailer for its Harry Potter TV series, set to premiere this Christmas, and it brings you right back to the beginning. That's broadly the only source of a vague intrigue for me, and I'm being generous here. Yes, it sets the stage for what should be a bold reinterpretation of the Harry Potter world. The trailer, however, settles for a safe, almost unimaginative retread.

Alright, so what am I looking at?
