Doc Rivers faces his old team tonight when the Milwaukee Bucks host the Los Angeles Clippers.
The game tips off very soon, at 8:00 p.m. ET. It will be nationally televised on NBA TV, as well as locally on WMLW-TV (Bucks markets) and Bally Sports SoCal (Clippers markets). If you don’t have cable, or you don’t have any of those channels, no need to worry–there are many different ways you can watch a live stream of the game.
Sling TV doesn’t offer a free trial (you can check out those options just below this), but it does offer one of the most underrated short-term deals in all of streaming. For your first month, you can get the “Sling Blue” channel package plus the Sports Extra add-on (which will get you NBA TV to watch the Clippers vs Bucks today) for $26, and then you also get Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, Starz, AMC+ and MGM+ at no added costs.
All-in-all, that’s $26 for a total suite of content that is normally $84 per month. It’s tough to pass that up, even if you just plan on cancelling or taking off any add-ons you want before the price goes up the second month.
There are lot of different ways you can watch the Clippers vs Bucks for free, but we would start with Fubo. You’ll need the main “Pro” channel package and the “Sports Plus with NFL RedZone” add-on to get NBA TV (this also comes with Bally Sports SoCal for those in the Clippers market), but both can be included in your seven-day free trial.
If you’ve already used your Fubo free trial, YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream are both good options. For YouTube TV, NBA TV is included in the main “Base Plan”, and for DirecTV Stream, the “Choice” package (or anything above it) will get you both Bally Sports SoCal (locally) and NBA TV. Both come with a free five-day trial.
Finally, if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber (Prime comes with a 30-day free trial), you can watch NBA TV via Prime Channels. The NBA TV channel normally costs $7 per month, but it comes with a seven-day free trial.
With a virtual private network (VPN), you can hide your location and connect to a server located in a different state or country. Your network then thinks you’re located there, allowing you to access or stream otherwise location-restricted content.
As such, if you already have a subscription to Sling, Fubo or any of the above streaming services, you can use NordVPN to watch the Clippers vs Bucks on that streaming service even if you’re out of the country. NordVPN is our recommendation due to its speed and sheer number of servers (which is helpful if your streaming service blocks one of the servers), but you can also check out our lists of the best VPN services or best VPN deals.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
