Add as a preferred source on Google

The Milwaukee Bucks (32-14) begin their five-game road trip starting with a match against the defending champs, the Denver Nuggets (32-15). This marquee matchup, which feels like a preview of a potential NBA Finals showdown, will have a lot of eyes on it. One reason is that the Bucks new head coach, Doc Rivers, will make his debut tonight as the team’s new head coach. The Bucks have won four out of their last five, and the Nuggets bounced back with a win over the 76ers on Saturday.

There is sure to be an exciting atmosphere in the air at the Ball Arena in Denver with these two playing against one another. Tip-off is just moments away, at 9:00 p.m. ET, and if you’re looking for all the right places to live stream, we’ve got you covered.

If you’re seeking out a free live stream for tonight’s big regular season game, well, bad news: there technically isn’t any real free way to watch it online. Fubo and places like YouTube TV are known to have free trials, but you would need to utilize NBA League Pass, which unfortunately doesn’t have a free trial period. So in one way or another, you are going to have some sort of credit or debit card information available to live stream tonight’s game. However, NBA League Pass does have a deal for $50 for the remainder of the regular season. That’s $50 for the next few months, not monthly.

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.
