Thunder vs Mavericks live stream: Can you watch the NBA game for free?

Tyler Geis
By

As the trade deadline is now a few days behind us, two teams that did a little business with one another in terms of future NBA draft picks will square off on the court today. The Oklahoma City Thunder (35-16) now sit in third place in the west, as Luka Dončić and the Mavericks are still alive and renamed 8th in the West. The trade deadline deal mentioned above was that the Mavericks acquired a first-round pick for next season from the Thunder in exchange for a 2028 pick.

It’s a day game from Dallas, as tip-off takes place at 3:00 p.m. ET. Here is all you need to know about where and how to catch a live stream of the game online today.

Is there a free Thunder vs Mavericks live stream?

NBA League Pass on YouTube TV.

Sling TV does not currently have a free trial period, despite their amazing prices for live streaming. Although Fubo and YouTube TV do have a free trial, it is impossible to access the game from outside the regional market without an NBA League Pass. The real kicker here is that the NBA League Pass does not have a free trial either, but it does have a nice deal for $50 for the rest of the season through YouTube TV.

A VPN is your best friend when watching U.S.-based live streams from abroad. They’re a safe way to stream online, and they protect your identity and data from hackers, plus they have a fairly reasonable cost to them. NordVPN is what we recommend most, as it costs only $12 a month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. It’s compatible with Mac, Windows, and Android and is available in 60 countries outside the U.S.

How to live stream the Jazz vs Suns: Can you watch the NBA game for free?
the Footprint Center where the Phoenix Suns play

The Phoenix Suns (30-21) are pretty hot right now as they look to extend a four-game winning streak as the Utah Jazz (26-26) come to the Footprint Center tonight. If the Suns can play good defense, the game should go in their favor, as they are 24-6 when keeping their opponents below 117 points. The Jazz have lost three of their last five games where they just scratched that amount of points in a game. It should be an interesting matchup between two Western Conference powerhouses.

The game is starting soon, at 9:00 p.m. ET. Here is all you need to know about how to watch a live stream of the game online.

Watch Timberwolves vs Bucks: Is there a free live stream?
Giannis Antetokounmpo goes up for a dunk on a basketball court.

It's going to be a great matchup as two top teams from both conferences square off tonight against one another. The Minnesota Timberwolves (35-16) travel to the Milwaukee Bucks (33-18). Both teams are coming off a close loss. The Timberwolves lost to the Bulls, a game where Karl-Anthony Towns scored 38 points and 12 rebounds, but it still was not enough to pull out a win. The Bucks are coming off a loss to the Suns, which only adds to brand new head coach Doc Rivers' shaky start in Milwaukee, as the team is 1-4 since the coaching change. Hopefully they don't continue to slide defensively against the second-ranked team in the Western Conference tonight.

Tip-off takes place at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee in just a few minutes, 8:00 p.m. ET. Here is all the information you'll need to catch the game online via a live stream tonight.

Can you watch the Warriors vs Pacers game for free?
Gainbridge Field House-Indiana Pacers

The Golden State Warriors (23-25) sit just outside the playoff picture at the moment and could further their chances of sneaking into it in a few months with a win tonight over the Indiana Pacers (29-23). It's trade deadline day, and things could get interesting as the Pacers have two standard roster spots that are open. Who knows if they'll make a move to further their chances in the playoff picture.

Tip-off is about to start, at 7:00 p.m. ET from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Here is all the information you need to know about live streaming the game online tonight.
