Starting on Monday December 18 at 10:30 PM (EST) the New York Knicks are taking on the Los Angeles Lakers in a heated match. It will be taking place at the Crypto.com Arena in LA. The Lakers are coming off a loss to the Spurs from Friday, while the Knicks also lost to the Clippers on Saturday. It will be interesting to see who wins this head-to-head. Of course, it’s anyone’s game, which is why you should be watching live if at all possible.
There are so many streaming services, channels, and options, it can be quite the challenge to determine where to watch the NBA game. Is it actually possible to watch the game free or, if not, what’s the cost? Plus, with the game airing on MSG, that doesn’t necessarily give a clue where to tune in for those streaming “out-of-market.” Don’t worry, we’ll tell you precisely where to watch and how.
Because the Knicks vs Lakers match will stream on MSG, and the NBA League Pass out-of-market, one of the best ways to watch is via Sling TV. You can watch on several platforms, from your living room TV or streaming device to your smartphone.
You’re probably more interested in the cost, though. Well, guess what? Sling is offering a crazy deal for 50% off its monthly packages. A Sling Orange subscription is normally $40 per month, but today it’s $20 for the first month. Sling Blue is also half off, down to $22 from $45, and the bundle deal that includes Sling Blue and Orange together is $30 instead of $60. With Sling Orange, you get access to over 30 channels, 50 hours of cloud DVR so you can record and watch later, but you can only have one stream active at a time. Meanwhile, Sling Blue offers access to over 40 channels with 50 hours of cloud DVR and you can have up to three streams going at once. If it sounds like your cup of tea, you’ll want to head over and sign up as soon as possible, and then get Sling installed on all of your devices ahead of the game.
At one time called FuboTV, and now just Fubo, the online and live cable streaming service is another excellent way to watch the Knicks vs Lakers live stream. While normally you’d have to pay to access the service, there’s a neat little technicality that you can take advantage of right now to watch the NBA game free. Fubo currently offers a free one-week trial, so if you hurry and sign up you can technically watch the NBA game without paying a dime.
If you decide to sign up after the trial, there are some Fubo deals, too. The Pro plan is $20 off for your first month. With it, you get access to over 180 channels, 1,000 hours of cloud DVR, and up to ten streams simultaneously. Normally $75, you can grab it for $55. Any way you look at it, that free trial is a fantastic way to watch NBA games free for up to a week, and even catch the Knicks vs Lakers live stream.
Hardcore sports fan or not, you can’t put off a planned vacation abroad for a few live games, but it stinks to miss them. If you’re visiting another country, you may find it difficult to tune in to your favorite teams playing live. Most streaming platforms block access in certain countries via geo-restrictions. Since your IP address reveals exactly where you’re connecting from, they use it to determine your current location and block you from streaming.
However, you can bypass these restrictions, using a VPN or virtual private network. The

One of the NFC’s best rivalries will be renewed on Sunday Night Football as the Philadelphia Eagles (10-2) travel to the Lone Star State to play the Dallas Cowboys (9-3). The game starts at 8:20 p.m. ET/5:20 p.m. PT on Sunday, December 10. Eagles versus Cowboys will air on NBC, with Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth, and Melissa Stark on the call.
The Eagles were considered the best team in the NFC for nearly the entire season, but that changed after last week’s 42-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Now, Philadelphia must quickly regroup to take on the red-hot Cowboys. Since they lost to the Eagles on November 5, the Cowboys have won four straight, including Week 13’s 41-35 win over the Seattle Seahawks. If Dallas defeats the Eagles, they will be tied at the top of the NFC East.
After one month of competition, only two teams remain in the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament.

The NBA In-Season Tournament has been a slam dunk for the league. The players have been locked in for these tournament games.

With that said, the NBA In-Season Tournament is here to stay.
