The Philadelphia 76ers take on the New York Knicks tonight at 6 p.m. CT on TNT, which fans can livestream for free online by utilizing the free trial offered by DirecTV Stream. If anyone has already used that free trial, they can head to Sling's website and get 50% off during their first month of subscribing. Alongside this game, fans can also watch other NBA playoff matchups for free, including Magic-Cavaliers and Pacers-Bucks.

Game 5 of tonight's playoffs series is a must-win for the 76ers, as they are currently behind 3-1 after losing game 4 at home. All three 76ers losses this postseason have been by single digits, which showcases the competitiveness of this series. Additionally, the 76ers have led during the fourth quarter in each of their losses, making it even more surprising that the series is not tied 2-2. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid have been carrying the 76ers offense by averaging 29 points and 35 points, respectively. Both players are averaging more than double the points of the third-highest scorer, so they have not been getting much help from their role players.

Jalen Brunson has been playing incredibly well for the Knicks throughout this series, averaging 33 points this postseason and scoring 47 points in game 4. The Knicks only scored 97 points in that game, so Brunson accounted for nearly half of the team's point total. The Knicks role players have been playing much better than the 76ers in this series, which is what has led to the Knicks holding a series lead. The 76ers have four players scoring double digit points, while the Knicks have six players averaging at least 10 points per game this postseason.

Fans are going to want to watch game 5 tonight because it will likely be just as competitive as every other game in this series. So, fans can livestream the game for free online by using DirecTV Stream's free trial. An affordable Sling subscription is an alternative option for anyone that cannot utilize the free trial, as Sling is currently offering a 50% discount during a subscriber's first month. Using either streaming service will allow fans to watch other NBA playoff games tonight, including Cavaliers-Magic and Pacers-Bucks.
