Thunder vs Lakers live stream: How to watch the game online

The NBA will honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by celebrating the iconic figure’s messages during each broadcast. The final game on MLK Day features Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder traveling West to play LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers inside Crypto.com Arena. The game airs on NBA TV at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT on January 15.

The Thunder have been one of the best surprises of the season and have a legitimate chance to secure a top 3 seed in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Lakers are fighting for seeding in the Play-In Tournament, so they will be looking to win several games to enter the top 6. The game will be nationally televised on NBA TV. Even without cable, there are ways to access NBA TV.

The Thunder and Lakers are meeting for the third time this season. The Thunder won the first matchup in November, while the Lakers grabbed the victory in December. Monday night’s game is the rubber match. Basketball fans traveling on Monday night may have issues streaming the game. If you are watching from another country, some streaming services will work just fine while others may work in a limited capacity. If you fall into one of these categories, download a VPN.

A VPN tricks your connection into thinking it’s in your home by using a U.S.-based server. VPNs also add more security and privacy to your connection. Using a VPN will alleviate the issues that may arise while streaming. One of the best VPNs is NordVPN.

The first Thursday of September means one thing: the NFL is back. After a long offseason, the NFL returns with the 2024 NFL Kickoff Game. Per tradition, the defending Super Bowl champion gets to play in the NFL's opening night game. This year, that honor belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs. Before kickoff, the Chiefs will reveal their new Super Bowl banner.

After the pregame festivities, the Chiefs will play Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. The game is a rematch of the last season's AFC Championship, which the Chiefs won by a score of 17-10. Last season, the Chiefs played in the 2023 Kickoff Game and lost to the Detroit Lions 21-20.

Following SummerSlam, the WWE takes its show to Europe for the next Premium Live Event (PLE), WWE Bash in Berlin. It will also be the first livestreaming WWE event in Germany. Since May, the WWE has run five of its last six PLEs outside the U.S., a strong sign of the company's expansion to new markets under TKO.

One match to focus on is the World Heavyweight Championship between Gunther and Randy Orton. Gunther defeated Damian Priest for the title at SummerSlam. Born in Austria, Gunther should have the home crowd advantage in Germany. However, Orton remains one of the most popular wrestlers in the company, and "The Viper" will do everything in his power to land an RKO and become a 15-time world champion.
When and where is WWE Bash in Berlin 2024?
WWE Bash in Berlin starts at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Saturday, August 31. The event will be held inside the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany.
