Tip off for the Dallas Mavericks and the New York Knicks is just a few moments away. Both teams have 22 wins on the season, but the Knicks are coming off a win over the Blazers and the Mavericks just lost to the Memphis Grizzlies. Vegas oddsmakers are giving the edge to the Knicks, who will get to keep their momentum from Tuesday’s win.
The Dallas Mavericks vs. New York Knicks game starts at 8:30 p.m. ET tonight. This game is exclusive to local Bally Sport channels, so streaming it isn’t simple — not impossible, but not straightforward. Here are our recommendations for how to live stream the game online.
This game is only being broadcast on local channels, so your options are limited. One potential option is the free version of Sling TV and the NBA League Pass add-on. Sling Freestream is a completely free cable TV option from Sling. You can get Sling Freestream and add the NBA League Pass to it for $10 for your first month (down from its usual $15). If you want to watch more NBA games, you can opt for the Sling Orange package, which includes channels like ESPN and TNT, for $15 for your first month (down from its usual $40). Make sure to check your local listings first, since NBA League Pass is subject to local blackouts.
Since this game is being broadcast on local Bally Sports channels, there is no way to stream it for free. The cheapest option is to get NBA League Pass through a service like Sling TV, Fubo or Hulu with Live TV. NBA League Pass is also subject to local blackouts, so you might not be able to access the game online if your local channel is broadcasting it. You can always try going back to the old antenna TV if you’re in the area.
If you’re not in the U.S. it’s even harder to watch this game. Your best bet is one of the best VPNs for streaming combined with NBA League Pass. We recommend NordVPN as the best VPN in general, and it’s currently on sale as part of VPN deals. You can get a two-year plan for the equivalent of just over $3 per month. Grab an account, connect to a server in the U.S., then fire up the online cable replacement of your choice and stream through NBA League Pass.
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.
