Sling TV is the best way to watch Warriors vs Nuggets, especially now that there’s a fantastic offer if you haven’t signed up for the streaming service. All of its subscription packages are half off for your first month, with the cheapest option being Sling Orange that will only require you to pay $20 for the first month, then $40 per month afterwards. Sling Orange already includes the highly-anticipated matchup, as well as access to ESPN, TNT, and CNN, among many other channels, but if you decide that you want access to a much wider range of games across different leagues, you can sign up for the Sling Orange & Blue + Sports Extra package, which usually costs $55 per month but only $27.50 for the first month. You’ll get SEC, ACC, Big 10 and PAC 12 coverage, as well as FS2 and ESPNU football.

If you’ve chosen the subscription to sign up with to be able to watch the Warriors vs Nuggets live stream, but you’re going to be out of the country on Christmas Day, you should know that some of these services will not work abroad. To make sure that you don’t miss the game, you can get NordVPN. The primary purposes of a VPN is to protect your virtual identity while you stream and shop online, but it can also spoof your connection so that it will appear like you’re just a home, allowing you to bypass any geo-restrictions. There’s no NordVPN free trial, but the cost will be well worth it as its applications go beyond watching NBA games.
