Mavericks vs Kings live stream: Can you watch for free?

Add as a preferred source on Google

Locked right next to each other in the West standings, the Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks meet today for a matchup that will have big-time implications on the NBA playoff picture.

This one is scheduled to tip off very shortly, at 10:00 p.m. ET, and it will be televised on TNT/truTV. If you don’t have cable or don’t have access to a TV, we’ve put together some different ways you can watch a live stream of the game for free or cheap.

The Best Way to Watch the Mavericks vs Kings Live Stream

Though Sling TV‘s “Sling Orange” channel package doesn’t come with a free trial, it’s just $30 for your first month and then $40 per month after that. Either of those are much cheaper than any other streaming service that includes TNT, as “Sling Orange” does.

Of course, this only comes into play if you want to keep a streaming service longer than the free trial that those other services offer. But with “Sling Orange,” not only are you getting TNT, but you’re also getting all the ESPN channels. That means you’ll be able to watch the biggest NBA games, plus all of the women’s NCAA tournament and most of the men’s tourney. If you don’t have cable and you want a way to watch as much basketball as possible, this is your best option for the money.

Is There a Free Mavericks vs Kings Live Stream?

If you simply want to watch this game for free, or if you want a live-TV streaming service with a massive channel package, we have two options for you.

YouTube TV‘s “Base Plan” includes TNT, as well as TBS, truTV, ESPN, ESPN2 and 100-plus channels in total. It’ll run you $58 per month for your first three month and then $73 per month after that, but it comes with a free five-day trial.

You can also try out DirecTV Stream. The cheapest channel package, “Entertainment,” comes with 75-plus channels, including TNT, TBS, truTV, ESPN and ESPN2. It’s a little bit more pricey at $80 per month, but it comes with a five-day free trial. Also, if you decide to keep it long-term, you can get some crazy value by including Max, Cinemax, Starz, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME and MGM+. You’ll get them all for free for three months, which is a $168 value.

Watch the Mavericks vs Kings Live Stream on Max

All NBA on TNT games stream live on the B/R Sports add-on, which is available with a Max subscription. Max costs $10 per month, and the B/R add-on is another $10 per month, but the latter is currently being offered at no cost for a limited time. That means that all you need is a Max subscription–or $10–to watch this one.

Moreover, all NCAA tournament games that are televised TNT, TBS or truTV–that’s most of them–are available on Max, making this the perfect time to sign up.

Watch the Mavericks vs Kings Live Stream from Abroad

A virtual private network (VPN) such as NordVPN can get you access to any of the aforementioned streaming sites if you’re outside of the United States. Most streaming services are restricted by location, but a VPN hides your IP address, allowing you to sidestep these blocks and access content from other countries even if you’re abroad.

NordVPN doesn’t come with a free trial, but it does offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can also check out our list of the best VPN services for some alternatives.

house-of-dragon-season-3-final-trailer

HBO has never been shy about building suspense, so it came as a surprise when the final trailer for House of the Dragon season 3 casually revealed one of its biggest moments up front.

The outcome of the much-anticipated Battle of the Gullet, the centerpiece naval clash that opens the season, is effectively out in the open. Rhaenyra Targaryen wins the battle and takes over King's Landing. For fans of George R.R. Martin's source material, Fire and Blood, this was inevitable. For everyone else, it is a bittersweet spoiler they might have preferred to discover on screen themselves, though the closing moments of season 2 made this development all but unavoidable.

The Hulu app might not be dead right now. But Disney might be working behind the scenes to make you want to use it less. Disney's streaming tech teams are working on a multi-phase plan called Project Gemini, which aims on bringing more of Hulu's content and features into Disney+.

The reports claims that the unified experience is expected to be finished by the end of the year, based on a leaked internal document and two streaming employees. However, Disney told Business Insider that there are "no current plans to sunset" the standalone Hulu app.
