Both teams are coming off their third loss in a row with Dallas falling to Phoenix Wednesday night and Atlanta falling to Golden State on the same night. Injuries are going to be a key thing tonight, Trae Young is questionable for tonight’s game with a concussion, and Kyrie Irving has just been downgraded to out for the Mavericks this evening.

Despite the injuries, the game is about to tip off, at 7:00 p.m. ET. If you’re looking for a platform to live stream the game, look no further than the information provided below.

Unfortunately, anything that requires an NBA League Pass means it isn’t going to be free. If you were to sign up tonight for, say, Fubo, a service that has a free trial period, as well as sign up for NBA League Pass, you would still be paying out of pocket since NBA League Pass does not have a free trial upon signing up. You can utilize it through YouTube TV, but it’s pretty much the same scenario. No freebies for this live stream tonight, sorry.

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.
