The Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers will face off on the final day of the NBA regular season. The game starts at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT on Sunday, April 14. It will be the Clippers’ final regular season home game at the Crypto.com Arena, as the team will play games at the brand-new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, starting in 2024-2025.

The Rockets are eliminated from postseason contention. However, the team has taken many steps in the right direction in year one under Ime Udoka. Led by Alperen Sengün and Jalen Green, the Rockets could potnetially leap into the Play-In Tournament next season. Meanwhile, the Clippers have qualified for the playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons. When healthy, the Clippers can beat any team in the NBA in a seven-game series. However, keeping their star players on the court has been challenging in recent years.

The game between the Rockets and Clippers will air in local markets. Space City Home Network has the Rockets broadcast, while Bally Sports San Diego and Bally Sports SoCal will air the Clippers broadcast. Out-of-market fans will need NBA League Pass to watch. Subscribers to Sling TV, a streaming television service, can add NBA League Pass to their plan to watch the game. Find out how to watch NBA games from anywhere with Sling below.

If you are traveling, there could be issues with your streaming service. A virtual private network (VPN) will hide your IP address and connect to a digital server in the U.S. or any country you choose. A VPN will help work around geo-blocking, so you can access your streaming services as if you were at home.

When it comes to VPNs, our top recommendation is NordVPN. With NordVPN, users will gain more security and privacy while using the internet. There is no regular free trial for NordVPN. However, NordVPN does offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it risk-free.

How to watch the 2024 SAG Awards live stream
Margot Robbie and Ariana Greenblatt look out the back doors of a truck in Barbie.

The road to the 2024 Oscars continues Saturday night with the 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards. The SAG Awards famously include "I am an actor" speeches to kick off the show. These happen because the SAG Awards are voted on by more than 130,000 performers in the SAG-AFTRA union. The SAG Awards is a ceremony for actors, by actors.

Since the SAG Awards are only voted on by performers in the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), the categories honor the best actors from film and television in 2023. The most-anticipated award is Ensemble in a Motion Picture, which will likely go to Oppenheimer or Barbie. The SAG Awards also have two categories for stunt work and a special lifetime achievement award. The 2024 recipient is the OG Funny Girl herself, Barbra Streisand.

The second half of the NBA season is underway. The rivalry between Boston and New York heats up on Saturday night when the Celtics take on the Knicks inside Madison Square Garden. The Celtics and Knicks are two of the four best teams in the Eastern Conference, meaning this game could be a potential playoff preview.

The Celtics are the best team in the East by a wide margin, seven games to be exact. With a record of 44-12, the Celtics can run the table, reach 60 wins, and secure the No. 1 seed in the postseason. The Knicks, who are fourth with a 34-22 record, are trying to string together a few wins while waiting for three of their best players – Mitchell Robinson, OG Anunoby, and Julius Randle – to return from injury sometime next month.
