One of the more interesting games on the final day of the NBA regular season features Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks taking on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The game tips off at 3:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. CT on Sunday, April 14. The matchup will take place inside the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The Mavericks and Thunder have both qualified for the postseason. The Mavericks will be the No. 4 or No. 5 seed, depending on how things shake out. Dallas will face the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs. After qualifying for the Play-In Tournament last season, the Thunder have jumped up the standings and will be a top-three seed, meaning they will have home-court advantage for at least the first round.

The game featuring the Mavericks and Thunder will air on Bally Sports Southwest, the local broadcaster for each team. If you are a fan of either team and live outside the market, then the only way to watch is through NBA League Pass. If you subscribe to Sling TV, you can add NBA League Pass for an additional cost to your plan. It’s that simple. To watch NBA games from anywhere with Sling, keep reading.

Streaming while abroad can be quite challenging as issues over broadcast restrictions and security could arise. If you plan to travel, download a virtual private network (VPN). A virtual private network will alleviate most of your streaming problems. A VPN connects to a digital server in another country of your choosing to work around geo-blocking.

Out of all the VPNs, our pick is NordVPN. With a subscription to NordVPN, users will have more protection against malware attacks and phishing scams. NordVPN also blocks ads and trackers for more privacy. While there is no traditional free trial, NordVPN does offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.

How to watch WWE Clash at the Castle 2024: start time, live stream, matches
WWE wrestlers pose on the poster for Clash at the Castle.

This weekend marks a first for the WWE. Clash at the Castle 2024 is the first Premium Live Event (PLE) to run in Scotland. The trip to Scotland is part of WWE's continued effort to host events in international territories. The last two PLEs were in Saudi Arabia and France, and the next PLE will take place in Canada.

Drew McIntyre, a Scottish native, headlines this monumental card. McIntyre won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40, but the title reign only lasted a few minutes. CM Punk distracted McIntyre long enough for Damia Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and win the title. Now, McIntyre gets his rematch with Priest in front of his home crowd. Will it be a storybook ending for McIntyre?

Watch the free F1 live stream

The 75th F1 World Championship is being aired for free in Austria and Luxembourg.

It's only fitting that an Austrian currently in the United States would want to watch the race in Austrian and not English, right? This is completely safe (and legal) to do with a VPN.
