The NBA has a couple of fun matchups on ESPN on Wednesday night.
The first game, tipping off at 7 p.m. ET, pits the New York Knicks against the Orlando Magic.
The nightcap, going off at 9:30 p.m. ET (8:30 p.m. CT, 6:30 p.m. PT), features the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder.
It should be a strong night of basketball.
That is, unless you have YouTube TV.
On that service, you won't be able to watch either game.

Why are Knicks-Magic, Lakers-Thunder not on ESPN on YouTube TV?
These games are missing on YouTube TV because of an incomplete deal between ESPN's parent company and YouTube TV's parent company.
ESPN networks went dark on YouTube TV on Oct. 30.
Google's YouTube TV and Disney's ESPN remain locked in a stalemate over carriage fees.
"Disney is proposing costly economic terms that would raise prices for YouTube TV customers and give our customers fewer choices, while benefitting Disney’s own live TV products," YouTube TV said in an early statement.

According to Deadline, Google submitted a "revised proposal" over the weekend, although it's not clear exactly how the talks are progressing.
This was a big deal on Monday night, when YouTube TV subscribers couldn't watch the Packers and Eagles play on Monday Night Football.
Now it has carried over to college basketball on Tuesday and the NBA on Wednesday.
