The Bucks vs. Celtics game starts at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TNT. Here are your best options for streaming the game online, including a potentially free option and our go-to pick.

The best way to watch the Bucks vs. Celtics live stream

Sling TV app icon on Apple TV.

Our go-to recommendation for streaming NBA games on TNT is Sling TV. While there currently isn’t a Sling TV free trial, it’s certainly the cheapest paid option. That’s because Sling lets you choose between two different channel packages, allowing you to pay for a smaller subset of channels you’re more likely to watch, instead of paying for channels you’ll never even consider tuning into. TNT is in both the Sling Blue and Orange plans, so you can pick either one. For NBA fans, Orange is the best option. You can get your first month for just $15, down from the usual $40.

Is there a free Bucks vs. Celtics live stream?

If you’re looking for a completely free way to stream this game, there is one potential option: the Fubo free trial. If you’ve never had Fubo before, you can get seven days for free. The reason we don’t pick this as our go-to is that a full Fubo subscription is $80 per month. If you want to watch the rest of the NBA season, Sling TV is a better option. If all you care about is this single Bucks vs. Celtics game, this is a way to watch for free.

If you’re not in the U.S., you may need to jump through a hoop to live stream TNT. Thankfully the hoop is large and very low to the ground. Just grab one of the best VPNs for streaming, connect to a server in the U.S., then stream TNT through one of the options listed above. We recommend NordVPN as the best VPN in general, and it’s currently on sale for just over $3 per month when you commit to a two-year plan. Check out other VPN deals to compare services.

The Hollywood argument over whether AI belongs in film and television production may already have been overtaken by reality. Netflix has confirmed that its creative partners used generative AI workflows across roughly 300 titles in 2026, with the largest concentration of work happening during post-production.

Keep in mind this number describes AI-assisted production workflows and not 300 completely machine-generated films and shows. Regardless, it does show how quickly the technology has moved beyond isolated experiments.

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium users talk directly to the app about what they want to hear. Users can type or speak a request and refine the results through follow-up questions instead of manually searching for a song, podcast, or audiobook.

The feature is available from Spotify’s Home and Now Playing screens and works much like a personal audio assistant. It can choose what plays, answer questions about the current track or album, recommend something new, and look through your listening history to provide more personalized responses.

Christopher Nolan’s personal take on smartphones is surprisingly practical
Christopher Nolan says not owning a smartphone helps him think better

Christopher Nolan has spent his career embracing cutting-edge filmmaking technology while resisting one of the most common gadgets on the planet: the smartphone. The Oscar-winning director behind Oppenheimer, Inception, and the upcoming The Odyssey says his decision isn't about rejecting technology altogether. It's about protecting something he believes has become increasingly rare - time to think.

In an interview with The Telegraph ahead of the premiere of The Odyssey, Nolan explained that he still doesn't own a smartphone, despite living in a world where QR codes, digital tickets, and messaging apps have become everyday necessities. His reasoning, however, is far more practical than philosophical.
