With the game available on NBA TV and other regional channels, accessing tonight’s game via a free live stream is most likely not going to happen. While Sling TV doesn’t have a free trial, places like Fubo and YouTube TV do. The catch here is that if you want to watch it but are out of the regional market, you’ll need an NBA League Pass to watch an out-of-market game.

How 5G will change sports | Sacramento Kings Arena Golden 1 Center

It's the first of three matchups between these two teams this month. The Denver Nuggets (36-16) continue their California road trip from Los Angeles up to Sacramento to take on the Kings (29-21) tonight. These two Western Conference power houses will square off, and going in, there's some interesting stats to keep in mind. The Nuggets have been putting up a nice amount of points as of late in the area of 118 PPG; on average, they are 18-3 when they reach that target. The Kings have a player to watch that could be a game changer with De'Aaron Fox, as he puts up 26.9 PPG.
