Mavericks vs Kings live stream: Can you watch for free?

Locked right next to each other in the West standings, the Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks meet today for a matchup that will have big-time implications on the NBA playoff picture.

This one is scheduled to tip off very shortly, at 10:00 p.m. ET, and it will be televised on TNT/truTV. If you don’t have cable or don’t have access to a TV, we’ve put together some different ways you can watch a live stream of the game for free or cheap.

The Best Way to Watch the Mavericks vs Kings Live Stream

Though Sling TV‘s “Sling Orange” channel package doesn’t come with a free trial, it’s just $30 for your first month and then $40 per month after that. Either of those are much cheaper than any other streaming service that includes TNT, as “Sling Orange” does.

Of course, this only comes into play if you want to keep a streaming service longer than the free trial that those other services offer. But with “Sling Orange,” not only are you getting TNT, but you’re also getting all the ESPN channels. That means you’ll be able to watch the biggest NBA games, plus all of the women’s NCAA tournament and most of the men’s tourney. If you don’t have cable and you want a way to watch as much basketball as possible, this is your best option for the money.

You can also try out DirecTV Stream. The cheapest channel package, “Entertainment,” comes with 75-plus channels, including TNT, TBS, truTV, ESPN and ESPN2. It’s a little bit more pricey at $80 per month, but it comes with a five-day free trial. Also, if you decide to keep it long-term, you can get some crazy value by including Max, Cinemax, Starz, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME and MGM+. You’ll get them all for free for three months, which is a $168 value.
