By

The defending champs kick off NBA Opening night on Tuesday. The Denver Nuggets (0-0) will raise their championship banner from the previous season before taking on the Los Angeles Lakers (0-0) in the first game of the 2023-2024 NBA season. The game will tip off at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT on October 24, and will be available on TNT, with Kevin Harlan (play-by-play), Reggie Miller (analyst), and Allie LaForce (reporter) providing commentary on the broadcast. The Lakers and Nuggets last met in the 2023 Western Conference Finals, with Denver winning four games to zero.

The Nuggets are poised to repeat as champions thanks to the return of two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. However, Lakers star LeBron James will be on a mission to capture his fifth NBA title. The opening game between the Lakers and Nuggets is on TNT. However, streaming television services are good alternatives to cable that also offer TNT. One of the most versatile streaming television options is Sling TV. For more information on watching Lakers versus Nuggets on Sling TV, scroll below.

It’s always a privilege to watch superstars like Jokic and James play basketball, making this is a game you do not want to miss. Plus, the Lakers and Nuggets will be two of the top teams in the Western Conference, so the skill level on display will be out of this world. If you plan on traveling during the game, however, problems may arise. But there is a way to alleviate these streaming issues with the use of a VPN service.

What is a VPN? A VPN is a virtual private network that makes it easier to stream in different countries. A VPN will temporarily assign your connection a different IP address to make it appear that it’s a stream from your home. This will bypass regional broadcast restrictions, making it possible to stream the game. A VPN also enhances your privacy and security. NordVPN is one of the best VPN services on the market. NordVPN does not offer a traditional free trial, but it provides a 30-day money-back guarantee. Combining Sling TV with NordVPN is a winning formula.

Sin City hosts Sunday Night Football as the Las Vegas Raiders (4-5) welcome the New York Jets (4-4) to Allegiant Stadium in Week 10. The game will start at 8:20 p.m. ET/5:20 p.m. PT on November 12. Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth, and Melissa Stark are on the call for NBC, and the game will also stream on Peacock.

Despite their mediocre records, the Jets and Raiders are hunting for a Wild Card spot in the AFC. The Jets must improve their offense if they want any shot at the postseason. The Jets have a league-worst eight offensive touchdowns on the season. For Las Vegas, the Raiders fired head coach Josh McDaniels before Week 9 and promoted Antonio Pierce to interim coach. The Raiders responded by beating the Giants 30-6.

USC Trojans vs. Oregon Ducks live stream: watch college football for free

College football doesn't get much better than a night game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. The No. 6 Oregon Ducks (8-1) will host the USC Trojans (7-3) in a Pac-12 rivalry game on Saturday night. The opening kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT on November 11. Tim Brando, Spencer Tillman, and Josh Sims will call the game on Fox.

USC and Oregon are two teams heading in different directions. USC has lost three of their last four games and will likely not qualify for the Pac-12 Championship in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Oregon remains one of the best teams in the country, with their only blemish coming on the road in a three-point loss to Washington. If Oregon wins out, they will likely have their rematch with Washington in the conference championship.
