The Timberwolves and Nuggets have both been road warriors during this Western Conference Semifinals series. The Timberwolves started with two straight wins away, then the Nuggets got their two straight wins away. It’s all tied, 2-2, but tonight’s game will decide who could potentially end the series in game six.
Game 5 of the Timberwolves vs Nuggets Conference Semifinals is tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET. It’s being broadcast on TNT and TruTV, so you have a few different options for streaming the NBA playoffs. We’ve picked out what we believe is the best deal, then listed some other options that might fit your needs better. Check them out before the game starts.
Our pick for the best way to watch tonight’s NBA stream is Sling TV Blue. That’s because it gets you access to all of the TNT games in the playoffs for just $15. It’s normally $40 per month, but there’s a great Sling TV deal going on right now that gets you your first month for just $15. There’s no Sling TV free trial, so this is the cheapest price you’ll find. Unfortunately this option doesn’t get you the ESPN games.
Hulu and Max will both be streaming the game tonight. If you opt for Max, you’ll have to spend at least $20: $10 for the ad-supported tier of the basic Max subscription, then $10 for the B/R Sports add-on. This gets you access to the rest of the playoff games this month. If you opt for Hulu with Live TV, you’ll have to spend a heftier $77 per month, but you’ll also get access to the rest of the Disney Bundle, including Disney+ and ESPN+. There is unfortunately no Hulu free trial or Max free trial.
If you’re not in the U.S. right now and you don’t want to bother with foreign streaming sites, just grab one of the best VPNs. We recommend NordVPN, as it’s currently on sale as part of VPN deals. Grab a subscription, connect to a server in the U.S., then pick one of the streaming services above.
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.
