In one of the more underrated matchups during a busy Wednesday night in the NBA, the Atlanta Hawks host the Orlando Magic. It’s a compelling battle of strengths, as the up-tempo Hawks enter fourth in the NBA in scoring, while the Magic are No. 4 defensively.
This one tips at 7:30 p.m. ET, just one hour from now, and will be televised locally on Bally Sports Southeast-ATL (Hawks markets) and Bally Sports Florida (Magic markets). But if you don’t have cable, you live out of market where the game isn’t televised, or for whatever other reason you want to watch a live stream, we’ve got you covered with a full rundown of different ways you can watch the Hawks vs Magic online.
If you live in Atlanta, Orlando or any surrounding area where the game is in your market, Fubo is the way to go. It’s the cheapest live-TV streaming service that includes all the Bally Sports channels (you’ll get whatever regional one is in your market), and it also comes with 150-plus other channels, 1,000 hours of cloud DVR space and “Family Share,” which lets you stream on three different screens at the same time. Fubo works if the game isn’t in your area, too, as NBA League Pass is available as an add-on, letting you watch every single out-of-market NBA game during the regular season.
Both the Fubo “Pro” plan and League Pass can be included in your free trial, allowing you to watch the Pistons vs Timberwolves live on your computer, phone or other streaming device at no cost.
If the game is in your market, Fubo is one of three different options that include a free trial. The second is DirecTV Stream, a cable-replacing streaming service much like Fubo that includes the Bally Sports channels in local markets in the “Choice” package. And the third, a more basic option, is Bally Sports+, which will simply give you a live stream of your local Bally Sports channel.
For out-of-market viewers, it’s simple: You NBA League Pass to watch the game. Fortunately, there are plenty of different avenues to access League Pass. It’s available as an add-on with Fubo, DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV, or you can get watch it via Amazon Prime Channels if you’re a subscriber to Prime. All four of those options offer a free trial.
If you’re here because you have one of the aforementioned streaming services but it isn’t working because you’re currently outside of the country, you can always try a VPN (virtual private network), which hides your location and lets you stream on US sites from abroad. NordVPN is one of the best out there, and while there isn’t a standard free trial, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee if you don’t like it.
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.
