Add as a preferred source on Google

The New Orleans Pelicans (26-20) pay a visit to one of the league’s best teams this evening, the Boston Celtics (35-11). It’s the third matchup this season between the two teams, with Boston having the better of both matchups. The Pelicans come off a tough loss to another one of the league’s best this past Saturday night, a 141-117 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Boston comes off a tough loss that same night at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers. The upside for New Orleans right now is that they’re healthy coming into tonight’s matchup. Boston has some questionable players in the injury pool for tonight, like center Al Horford with a neck issue.

Tip-off is set to take place tonight at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, at 7:30 p.m. ET. If you’re looking to catch the game online with a live stream and don’t know what platform to seek out, look no further than the information provided below.

Is There a Free Pelicans vs Celtics Live Stream?

NBA on YouTube TV.

If you were to catch the Pelicans vs. Celtics matchup tonight on a live stream, there is unfortunately no free option. The other paid avenue to watch the game online this evening is through YouTube TV with an NBA League Pass. The real kicker here is that both platforms like Fubo and YouTube TV have free trials, but with a NBA League Pass add-on, it’s going to cost you some money because the pass does not have a free trial.

Christopher Nolan has spent his career embracing cutting-edge filmmaking technology while resisting one of the most common gadgets on the planet: the smartphone. 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.
