Which NBA Games Are Available to Watch Free with a Sling Subscription This Weekend?
The NBA League Pass free trial is bringing some truly star-studded matchups to your Halloween weekend. The first is Friday, Oct. 27’s game between the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks, which will feature Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving continuing to attempt to build chemistry with each other in hopes of being relevant in the Western Conference playoffs. The game starts at 8:30 p.m. ET.
The Spurs-Clippers game brings even more star power to the table, with Clippers staples Kawhi Leonard and Paul George facing 2023 No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. A size/athleticism combination of Wembanyama’s quality is simply not seen that often in the league, and fans will relish the chance to see him in action. This game is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 29.
Then on Monday, Oct. 30 two of the Eastern Conference’s powerhouses will face each other in a game that could very well be a playoff preview. Jimmy Butler and the Heat made it all the way to the NBA Finals last year, surpassing expectations while Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks sat at home. The Bucks traded for star Damien Lillard in the offseason to help take them the next step, but will it be enough? This tilt begins at 8 p.m. ET.
What Other Basketball Games Can You Watch on Sling?
Sling TV is a perfect way to watch nationally broadcast NBA games. It carries ESPN in all markets in its Orange package, and TNT in its Blue plan. Both of those plans start at just $20 for your first month thanks to a limited-time offer from Sling, and the price rises to $40 per month after.
Sling only carries ABC in a small number of markets, but any NBA games appearing on that channel will be simulcast on ESPN3, which is available everywhere. You can also add NBA League Pass to your Sling subscription at any time to watch all the out-of-market NBA games you could possibly desire.
