Washington Wizards vs. Boston Celtics live stream: how to watch the NBA online

There is one game left for every NBA team in the regular season. One of those matchups pits Jordan Poole and the Washington Wizards against Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics. The game tips off at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Sunday, April 14. The Wizards will play the Celtics inside the TD Garden in Boston.

It’s been a disastrous season for the Wizards. Washington has the second-worst record in the league. Finding a franchise player in the upcoming NBA Draft will be the top priority this offseason. On the other side of the spectrum are the Boston Celtics, the best team in the NBA. The Celtics have been in cruise control for weeks as the No. 1 seed in the East. The road to the NBA Finals in the Eastern Conference goes through Boston.

The game between the Wizards and Celtics will air on two local market stations: Monumental Sports Network and NBC Sports Boston. You won’t have access to these channels if you don’t live in the Washington or Boston markets. However, NBA League Pass allows out-of-market fans to watch every NBA game. One of the most convenient ways to purchase NBA League Pass is by adding it to your Sling TV subscription. Find out how to watch NBA games from anywhere below.

Watch the Wizards vs. Celtics live stream from abroad with a VPN

NBA fans abroad can still watch the Wizards versus the Celtics. However, you will need some help. Streaming services do not work the same way abroad because of regional broadcast restrictions. That’s why you should download a virtual private network (VPN).

VPNs help internet users stay more private online. A VPN is an extra layer of security, so you can use the internet without worrying about scams and hacks. Our recommendation for a VPN is NordVPN. Even though NordVPN does not feature a free trial, it does offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, so try it risk-free.

March Madness 2024: how to watch the 2024 NCAA First Four live stream
Logo for the NCAA First Four.

After a polarizing Selection Sunday, the field for the 2024 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship is set. Sixty-eight teams will compete for a chance to make the Final Four in Phoenix and win a national championship. Before the First Round begins on March 21, eight teams will head to Dayton for the 2024 NCAA First Four.

Four games will be played across two nights to reduce the field from 68 to 64. Think of these games as the play-in round, similar to the NBA's Play-In Tournament. The eight teams competing in the First Four are Wagner, Howard, Colorado State, Virginia, Grambling State, Montana State, Colorado, and Boise State.

Oscars live stream: Watch the 96th Academy Awards for free

The best films of 2023 will be honored at the 2024 Oscars. Also known as the 96th Academy Awards, the 2024 Oscars will feature some of the biggest and brightest stars Hollywood has to offer, including Margot Robbie, Robert Downey Jr., Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Lily Gladstone, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and more. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will award Oscars in 23 categories, with the top prize being Best Picture. Jimmy Kimmel returns to host for the fourth time.

Oppenheimer leads the field with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things with 11, Killers of the Flower Moon with 10, and Barbie with eight. Can Oppenheimer complete its dominant awards season run with a Best Picture prize, or can The Zone of Interest or Poor Things pull off the improbable upset?
What channel is the Oscars on?
The 2024 Oscars will air on ABC starting at a new time of 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Sunday, March 10. This is a significant change from the regular 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT start time. However, ABC has decided to start the Oscars at 7 p.m. ET so it can air a new episode of Abbott Elementary upon the ceremony's completion at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT. This strategy is similar to how the network airing the Super Bowl airs an episode of television following the Big Game.
