DirecTV Stream is the premier option for NBA fans since it carries every channel. Fans can try it for free using this link.
2. SlingTV
Price wise, SlingTV offers the best value for NBA Fans. SlingTV’s Blue Package ($22.50 per month) carries TNT and ESPN, so fans can watch all the playoff games at a great price.
fuboTV carries ESPN networks, but it does not have TNT – which means that fans will have to pair its free trial with SlingTV’s cheap price to get the complete streaming package. fuboTV is $74.99 per month without the trial.
