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.

Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Clippers live stream: how to watch the NBA online
