Today's Mavericks vs Raptors live stream doesn't make for pretty reading from a Toronto perspective. However, if there's a time to play Dallas, it's now. The Mavs have been dragged all around the country not once but twice over the past couple of weeks — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

If all that time on the road is taking its toll, the Mavericks aren't showing it quite yet. They've won nine of their last 10, and that's without Luka Doncic or Klay Thompson hitting their stride. Instead, Kyrie Irving and Spencer Dinwiddie have picked up the slack, though Thompson's 3-point prowess could come in handy at the Scotiabank Arena.

Whether it's a deliberate tactic or a deficiency, Darko Rajakovic's men are taking a far higher percentage of their shots from inside the paint than any other team. With a 7-15 record, clearly it's not working, but this was always going to be a rebuilding season for the Raptors, and several of their defeats have been extremely tight. The form of Scottie Barnes, however, is a major plus point.

Here's how to watch Mavericks vs Raptors live streams online and from anywhere in the world.

FREE Mavericks vs Raptors live streams

If you're fortunate enough to live in Germany, you can enjoy free Mavericks vs Raptors coverage. That's because the game is being shown on free-to-air Joyn.

But what if you're based in Germany but aren't at home to catch that free Mavericks vs Raptors stream? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you'd usually be able to watch the game for free at home?

Don't worry — you can watch it using a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.

How to watch Mavericks vs Raptors from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.

We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.
