As the trade deadline is now a few days behind us, two teams that did a little business with one another in terms of future NBA draft picks will square off on the court today. The Oklahoma City Thunder (35-16) now sit in third place in the west, as Luka Dončić and the Mavericks are still alive and renamed 8th in the West. The trade deadline deal mentioned above was that the Mavericks acquired a first-round pick for next season from the Thunder in exchange for a 2028 pick.

It’s a day game from Dallas, and tip-off is coming up soon, at 3:00 p.m. ET. Here is all you need to know about where and how to catch a live stream of the game online today.

Is there a free Thunder vs Mavericks live stream?

NBA League Pass on YouTube TV.

Sling TV does not currently have a free trial period, despite their amazing prices for live streaming. Although Fubo and YouTube TV do have a free trial, it is impossible to access the game from outside the regional market without an NBA League Pass. The real kicker here is that the NBA League Pass does not have a free trial either, but it does have a nice deal for $50 for the rest of the season through YouTube TV.

A VPN is your best friend when watching U.S.-based live streams from abroad. They’re a safe way to stream online, and they protect your identity and data from hackers, plus they have a fairly reasonable cost to them. NordVPN is what we recommend most, as it costs only $12 a month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. It’s compatible with Mac, Windows, and Android and is available in 60 countries outside the U.S.
