Add as a preferred source on Google

Two teams that are on the hunt for a spot in the Eastern Conference playoff picture square off tonight, The struggling Toronto Raptors (16–30) head to the United Center to take on the 22–25 Chicago Bulls. This matchup marks the fourth time these two teams will play one another this season. Chicago has a 2-1 advantage in the regular-season series. The Raptors are in rebuild mode in the middle of the season after trading away some key players. The Bulls, however, are in a bit of limbo themselves; they don’t have what feels like a championship team, but they could still make a playoff run as they sit ninth in the standings right now, but they would end up losing out on draft picks.

The tip-off of this matchup is happening soon, at 8:00 p.m. ET. If you need to find a place to live stream, then look no further than the information we have provided below.

Fubo is at the forefront of fulfilling those needs for the avid basketball fan. When using your Fubo free trial upon signing up, don’t forget to add on your NBA League Pass, which gets you many out-of-market games for the rest of the regular season. With 180+ channels, Fubo is free to try, and you can cancel anytime.

In theory, no, there is not a free live stream of tonight’s game. Even if you were to sign up and get a free trial through Fubo, but you needed to add on a NBA League Pass to get the game if it were out of market to you, the NBA League Pass unfortunately has no free trial period. YouTube TV, however, is running a discount of $10 off your first three months of service upon signing up, so at least there are some money-saving tactics at play.

That matters because engagement - not just subscriber numbers - has become one of the biggest indicators of whether customers will stick around, watch ads, and continue paying for the service.
