Add as a preferred source on Google

Another round of the battle for Los Angeles takes place tonight at Crypto.com Arena. The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers twice this season already. Once on January 7, and then again in an overtime win back in November. Team leader LeBron James will miss tonight’s matchup due to an ankle injury. The Clippers currently have a top-10 offense and defense that have catapulted them to a nice-looking record of 27-14. The Lakers, however, sit at an even record of 22-22 and need to churn up some momentum as the season goes on if they want to make an appearance in the playoffs.

Coverage for this late game is just about to start, at 10:00 p.m. ET. It’s a nationally broadcast game on cable. However, if you are looking for a place to live stream the matchup, look no further than the information we have provided below.

Is There a Free Lakers vs Clippers Live Stream?

Anything that requires NBA League Pass means that it isn’t going to be free, unfortunately. Let’s say you were to add League Pass to another platform like Fubo and YouTube TV for live streaming. There are free trials for the main service, but you’ll still have to pay for the add-on in the end. To sum it up, there are no freebies in this scenario.

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.

A ChatGPT-like AI feature is coming to Spotify for music requests and listening-history questions
spotify

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 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.
