Knicks-76ers free livestream online: How to watch NBA playoffs game 6, TV, schedule
The New York Knicks take on the Philadelphia 76ers in game 6 of their first-round series tonight at 8 p.m. CT on TNT. Fans can watch tonight’s game for free by utilizing the free trial offered by DirecTV Stream. Alternatively, Sling is currently offering a discount during the first month of service. Both of these streaming methods will allow fans to watch other matchups in the NBA playoffs, including Bucks-Pacers.
The 76ers avoided elimination in game 5 on the road, grabbing an overtime win on Tuesday to extend the series. Game 6 will be played in Philadelphia, which should be a massive boost for the seventh-seeded 76ers. Tyrese Maxey was the most important player for the 76ers in their game 5 victory, as he scored a game-high 46 points. That total was more than double the points from any of Maxey’s teammates, as the 76ers second-leading scorer only had 19 points. Although Joel Embiid finished the game with a triple-double, his 19 points were the fewest he has scored during any game of this first-round series. So, Embiid will need to play better in game 6 to even the series and force a game 7 in New York.
The Knicks have been led by Jalen Brunson this year, as they have been playing without Julius Randle for the second half of the season. Both players were leading the Knicks in scoring, but Randle suffered a season-ending injury at the end of January. So, Brunson has played with nothing to lose and has carried the Knicks to the second seed in the Eastern Conference. Currently, Brunson is averaging more than 34 points and eight assists per game this postseason. These incredible statistics have given the Knicks a 3-2 series lead, and they have a chance to close out the series tonight in Philadelphia. Josh Hart has also contributed 17 points per game this postseason, so the Knicks have plenty of talent throughout their roster.
Maxey and Brunson have played incredibly throughout this series, and fans can catch all the action from tonight’s game 6 for free by using DirecTV Stream’s free trial. If anyone has already used that free trial, then Sling is offering a discounted first month for new users. Both of these streaming services will also broadcast the Bucks-Pacers NBA playoff matchup tonight.
