Mavericks vs. Knicks live stream: How to watch the NBA game for free

Tip off for the Dallas Mavericks and the New York Knicks is just a few moments away. Both teams have 22 wins on the season, but the Knicks are coming off a win over the Blazers and the Mavericks just lost to the Memphis Grizzlies. Vegas oddsmakers are giving the edge to the Knicks, who will get to keep their momentum from Tuesday’s win.

The Dallas Mavericks vs. New York Knicks game starts at 8:30 p.m. ET tonight. This game is exclusive to local Bally Sport channels, so streaming it isn’t simple — not impossible, but not straightforward. Here are our recommendations for how to live stream the game online.

This game is only being broadcast on local channels, so your options are limited. One potential option is the free version of Sling TV and the NBA League Pass add-on. Sling Freestream is a completely free cable TV option from Sling. You can get Sling Freestream and add the NBA League Pass to it for $10 for your first month (down from its usual $15). If you want to watch more NBA games, you can opt for the Sling Orange package, which includes channels like ESPN and TNT, for $15 for your first month (down from its usual $40). Make sure to check your local listings first, since NBA League Pass is subject to local blackouts.

Is there a free Mavericks vs. Knicks live stream?

Since this game is being broadcast on local Bally Sports channels, there is no way to stream it for free. The cheapest option is to get NBA League Pass through a service like Sling TV, Fubo or Hulu with Live TV. NBA League Pass is also subject to local blackouts, so you might not be able to access the game online if your local channel is broadcasting it. You can always try going back to the old antenna TV if you’re in the area.

Where to watch Bengals vs. Chiefs: NFL Week 2 live stream
Joe Burrow holds the football and runs.

One of the best rivalries in the NFL writes its next chapter on Sunday afternoon. Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals (0-1) head to Arrowhead Stadium to play Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) in the NFL's game of the week. The Bengals are coming off a terrible 16-10 loss to the New England Patriots (1-0), while the Chiefs bested the Baltimore Ravens 27-20 (0-1) in the NFL Kickoff Game.

Mahomes is the best quarterback in the NFL. However, Burrow is one of the only quarterbacks with a winning record (3-1) over Mahomes. Burrow even did the unthinkable by beating Mahomes in Kansas City in the 2022 AFC championship game to advance to the Super Bowl. All the evidence points to another classic game in Week 2.

A new US Open champion will be crowned in the men's final on Sunday afternoon. After years of watching Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic dominate, new competitors -- including Jannik Sinner, Jack Draper, Frances Tiafoe, and Taylor Fritz -- are rising stars in the sport.

It all comes down to one final match. The 2024 US Open Men's Final will feature world No. 1 Jannik Sinner versus No. 12 Taylor Fritz. If Sinner wins, it will mark his second Grand Slam of 2024 and cement him firmly as the best in the world. For Fritz, the entire country will be behind him at Arthur Ashe as he looks to become the first American man to win a Grand Slam since Andy Roddick's US Open win in 2003.
