Barcelona vs. Real Madrid TV schedule, team news

The peace and quiet of the international break will be broken by the screech of football's most famous rivalry on Saturday, as Barcelona host Real Madrid in the latest edition of El Clásico. The Catalans head in as strong favorites, and currently sit at the La Liga summit, a healthy nine points clear of second-placed Atlético Madrid. They've not lost in the league since October, and it's difficult to envision an inconsistent Real Madrid being able to keep their attack quiet.

However, recent signs have suggested Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has steered his side through some choppy waters, with four straight league wins moving them within a point of their crosstown rivals Atléti. It remains to be seen how adept he'll be at the tricky task of setting up a side to face the fiercest attack in world football -- this is the first Clásico in which he's had direct involvement since retiring as a player.

Key player: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

As good as Barcelona are, when you've got Cristiano Ronaldo in your ranks, you've always got a chance. Real Madrid will be reliant on their star attacker delivering an outstanding performance on the counter-attack if they're to win this game, and they've got reason to believe: Ronaldo currently sits two points clear of Barça striker Luis Suárez at the top of the La Liga scoring charts, and you can bet your bottom dollar he'll be desperate to hold onto that individual honor.

Barcelona cruised to a 4-0 win over Rafael Benítez's Real Madrid in the only previous edition of El Clásico this season. It was the Catalan club's second consecutive derby victory, ending a run of two straight Real Madrid wins in this most prestigious of fixtures. However, not since April 2012 have Real Madrid won away at Camp Nou in the league, and they'd do well to repeat the feat on Saturday.

Barcelona injuries and suspensions

Out: Adriano (hamstring); Jérémy Mathieu (knee); Sandro Ramírez (quadriceps). In doubt: Jordi Alba (ankle).

Real Madrid injuries and suspensions

Out: None. In doubt: Borja Mayoral (thigh); Raphaël Varane (calf).

Barca will be without defenders Adriano and Mathieu, and young attacker Sandro, but are hoping to have first-team left back Alba back from an ankle sprain. Madrid have no certain absentees, but defender Varane and teenage forward Mayoral face late fitness tests.

Match date/time: Saturday, 2:30 p.m. ET, 8:30 p.m. local

Venue: Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain

TV: beIN Sports (US and Canada - English); beIN Sports en Español (US and Canada - Spanish); Sky Sports 2/HD (UK)

Online: beIN Sports Connect (US and Canada); fuboTV (US); Sky Go (UK)

Aston Villa vs Everton Live TV Info

Everton is now in 12th place. In the last round, which took place on 13 February has, “toffee” played against West Brom at home and lost with a minimum score of 0: 1, naprotjazhenii dominating the entire match. Over the weekend, Everton had to play the derby against Liverpool, but due to the Cup final of English league match was postponed for the next days. Schedule from Everton is more acceptable. After the “villeins” is expected to play a couple of days against West Ham. Most teams have to spend 10 days in the Premier League 3 match, but Everton’s schedule will be narrow and staff should look fresher.

Aston Villa is one of those teams that held their 27th round of matches at the weekend and have a couple of days already play the next tour. In the last round, “villeins” gave away Stoke City with a score of 2: 1, without providing significant problems to the enemy. After losing in the last round of the situation at the club has become even worse since lagging behind the safe zone is already 8 eyes.

In the first round between the teams completed a crushing victory Everton match at their stadium 4: 0. Over the last 5 matches between an Everton won 4 times and only once (at home) won by Aston Villa.

Forecast the match

“Villain,” the majority of his eyes gained at their stadium, to the same style of play, and quite another in the home. From the Everton we can observe stability in terms of games at home or on the road. One problem Martinez team – is that sometimes players can not show their level and simply merge the match. In the match against Aston Villa players Zhvertona come in their best form, because vacation lasted a little more than 2 weeks. Offensive action “butterscotch” in this spectacular season and expect Everton will take the initiative back to him and try to play to win. Forecast for the match – Everton victory.

The Academy Awards 2016 Live stream online TV info

THIS SUNDAY, TELEVISIONS will be graced with the 88th Academy Awards. Celebrities will walk the red carpet. Commentators will ask who they are wearing. And Chris Rock, who is definitely funnier than your friends, will host. The three-hour soiree is airing on ABC this Sunday night starting at 7 pm ET, and you probably want to watch (or at least have on in the background while you scroll Facebook looking for best-dressed lists).

Those of us who cut the cord might already be preparing in the days ahead by bringing on Oscar nominated vids streaming online. But you might be wondering how you’ll be able to watch the show come Sunday if you don’t have a television or cable at home. Here’s how.

Stream it online

The easiest option: Head to ABC’s site and stream it. Just like last year, ABC is streaming it for free (in some markets)…and just like last year, there could be some issues. The network’s Oscar stream in 2015 cut multiple times to random programming. The interruptions were also compounded by network TV’s characteristically slow online streaming.

Back to that “some markets” part. ABC only offers live streaming in Chicago, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, and San Francisco. Sorry, literally almost everywhere else in the country! When you go to the website, you will be prompted to fill-in your TV provider credentials. So you’ll have to plug in a kindly friend or stranger’s login info. Basically, if you’re a cord-cutter through and through, it’s not a total solution.

Use the app

Oscars? There’s an app for that. It’s (surprise!) made by ABC and is available for download in the App Store, on Google Play, and via Amazon. But again, it only works in the aforementioned cities, and again, will require that you have an account with a TV provider. (Or, again, the login information of someone who does. We’re just saying.)

Vine and Periscope

There will be tons of beyond-the-scenes Vines, from celebrities, red carpet-goers, show producers, party and hosters. A simple #Oscars or #Oscars2016 search is going to yield more than enough results—too many, probably. There are some particularly active celebs on Vine to check out, if you want to narrow it down though, like Chrissy Teigen, Ryan Seacrest, Taye Diggs, and Jimmy Fallon. (We’re pretty sure those people will all be going to the Oscars…)

Now, that’s for some meta Oscars coverage—but we know, you’re probably looking to watch the real deal. Well where there’s a live TV event, there’s someone broadcasting it on Periscope. (Pro tip: Periscope doesn’t have search, so try Perisearch.) Yes, those streams might get shut down, but there will be a few to at least try. Will it look good? Probably not: Someone shooting live video of their Oscar party (or solo watch session, no judgement) doesn’t exactly scream “high quality.” But hey, such is the life of a cord cutter.

And if you have a TV, but no cable…

Buy a digital antenna. They generally cost upwards of $20 and you can get one at any home electronics store. Just like traditional set of rabbit ears, using a digital antenna on your TV set will give you a dozen or so channels, including your local ABC affiliate.

Indiana Pacers vs Washington Wizards Live Stream TV Info

Indiana has played five of its last six games on the road, going just 2-3 in those contests outside the friendly confines of Bankers Life Field house. After hosting Washington on Friday, the Blue & Gold will embark on a difficult four-game Western Conference road trip that includes games against the defending NBA champion Warriors and a Sacramento Kings team that won in Indianapolis in December, plus visits to two cities (Denver and Phoenix) where the Pacers have historically struggled.

Match up:

On the surface, Friday's game against the Washington Wizards (18-19) might seem to be just another mid-January game for the Pacers (22-17). But given where it falls on the schedule, Friday's game against John Wall and the Wizards takes on an added importance.

For that reason, it is nearly imperative that the Pacers take care of business on Friday against an under performing and banged-up Wizards team. Though they return the core of the team that has reached the Eastern Conference Semifinals for two consecutive seasons, Washington has struggled mightily in 2015-16. The Wizards haven't had a winning record since Nov. 25 and currently are tied with the Knicks for 10th place in the East. Washington's injury report for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee listed a whopping seven players as questionable or worse, though four of them were ultimately able to play against the Bucks.

The Pacers, on the other hand, are mostly healthy with the exception of sixth man Rodney Stuckey, who is expected to miss at least two weeks with a sprain and bone bruise in his right foot. Stuckey suffered the injury in the first quarter of Tuesday's win over Phoenix and did not travel with the team for Wednesday's game in Boston.

In Stuckey's absence, Pacers head coach Frank Vogel has been giving his minutes to reserve guard/forwards Chase Budinger and Glenn Robinson III. Unlike Stuckey, neither of those players is capable of running the point, which meant starters George Hill and Monta Ellis handled all of the point guard duties in Wednesday's loss in Boston. Back at home, Vogel might opt to give a few spot minutes at the point to rookie Joe Young to spell his starting backcourt.

The Wizards' strength lies at the point guard position, where All-Star John Wall is having another stellar season. The 6-4 speedster is averaging 19.6 points and is tied for second in the NBA in assists, with 9.6 per contest. Historically a poor outside shooter, Wall is shooting a career-best 35.2 percent from 3-point range, including a .545 clip (12-for-22) over his last five games.

Pacers: Rodney Stuckey - out (right foot sprain and bone bruise), George Hill - questionable (personal reasons)

Wizards: Alan Anderson - out (left ankle surgery), Bradley Beal - probable (sore right leg), Marcin Gortat - out (sore left knee), Kris Humphries - out (sore right knee), Nene - probable (strained right triceps), Gary Neal - probable (flu-like symptoms), Otto Porter - doubtful (sore right hip)


Wizards head coach Randy Wittman is a Hoosier native, Ben Davis High School & Indiana University Graduate and Pacers alumni player (1989-1992). While playing at IU, Randy was teammates with former Pacers coach Isiah Thomas.

November 24, 2015: Paul George and C.J. Miles put on a shooting clinic as the Pacers rolled to a 123-106 victory in Washington. Indiana set a franchise record by making 19 3-pointers in the win, with George and Miles combining to go an absurd 15-for-17 from beyond the arc.

George led all scorers with 40 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. Miles added 32 points, making 8-of-9 attempts from 3-point range.

PHOTO GALLERY: Pacers' Last 10 Games vs the Wizards »

Gary Neal led Washington with 23 points. Bradley Beal added 20 points and John Wall chipped in 18 points, four rebounds, and five assists.

The Pacers are 60-22 all-time against the Wizards in games played in Indianapolis and lead the all-time series with Washington, 93-72.
Indiana is a perfect 6-0 on the year in games played on a Friday.
Paul George needs 16 assists to reach 1,000 for his career.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors Live Stream and Start info

Cleveland Cavaliers stars LeBron James and Kevin Love run down the court during a 2015 game.

The Toronto Raptors are trying to be a contending team in the Eastern Conference. The team fell short last year in the first round of the playoffs after raised expectations and now they are aiming to turn that around this year. The Raptors return home after a lengthy road trip in what is their fifth game back in Canada as they prepare to face off against a Cleveland Cavaliers team hit hard with injuries.

The Raptors are well aware the Eastern Conference goes through Cleveland they will get their first taste of getting past that on Wednesday night as Kyle Lowry and DeMarre Carroll prepare for the challenge. Currently sitting at 9-6, the Raptors have looked strong this year coming back from a road trip where they went 2-3. The last time these two teams played each, Cleveland had their way with the Raptors. In the past three games with these two teams, Cleveland has averaged 110 points, winning all three while LeBron James averaged 29.3 points and 11.3 assists.  Everyone knows that cannot happen again as head coach Dwane Casey hopes the team does not get ahead of themselves.


"It's a very good litmus test," Casey said, via ESPN.com. "They're playing good basketball right now. It seems like it's another road game where you're in town and then back out of town, but it's what the schedule gives us and we have to come prepared."

The Raptors are dealing with injuries right now. Their backcourt will have some question marks as Jonas Valanciunas fractured his hand during the road trip. That will add pressure to Lowry and DeMar DeRozan to make up in shooting while Luis Scola and Bismack Biyombo handle the frontcourt for the Raptors.

The Cavaliers are dealing with injuries right now to some of their biggest stars. Timofey Mozgov is out with a shoulder injury to pair with the issues to Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert. Mo Williams has also been dealing with leg issues. That has not necessarily hurt the Cavaliers from getting wins this season as both James and Kevin Love continue to thrive on the court. Meanwhile Matthew Dellavedova has been doing a solid job as the starting point guard, getting 25 assists in three games.

UFC 195: Lawler vs Condit Live Stream Fight and TV Info

UFC’s welterweight champion Robbie Lawler will put his title belt on the line when he faces former WEC king Carlos Condit in the main event of UFC 195 on Jan. 2 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
Fight Info: UFC 195 Lawler vs Condit. Sat, Jan 02, 10PM/7PM ETPT.

UFC will kick off 2016 with a showdown between Condit (30-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and Lawler (26-10 MMA, 11-4 UFC). Condit, who is coming off an impressive victory over Thiago Alves in May, shrugged off the injury layoff he suffered in March 2014 that sidelined him for a year.

“Out of 12 or 13 years of competing professionally this was my first major injury, my first major layoff,” Condit told The Sun. “If you’re gonna step in there and fight at a very high level professionally you’re bound to get injuries, you’re bound to get layoffs. It comes with the territory.”

Condit, who is the underdog heading into the UFC 195 main card, is convinced he is in top form to take the welterweight gold from Lawler. However, the “Natural Born Killer” also believes his fight against Lawler could be his last shot to win a title, although he insists he is “100 percent” focused.


Meanwhile, Lawler, who is coming off one of the best fights of all time as he defeated Rory MacDonald at UFC 189 in July, is not stressing about the challenge of defending his title against Condit. While Lawler acknowledges Condit’s skills, “Ruthless” was clear that he is ready to take on any fighter put in front of him.

“You know I don’t worry about who they’re putting in front of me,” Lawler said, reports MMA Junkie. “Why would I worry? Why not? Why this guy? That’s just nonsense for me to waste my energy.”

UFC 195 will also feature a heavyweight clash in the co-main event as Stipe Miocic takes on Andrei Arlovski in a potential title elimination.
