How to watch the NBA playoffs
The NBA playoffs will be exhibited on ABC, ESPN and TNT. You can watch the game using a cable subscription or live TV streaming service.
Three of the five major services provide all four channels. Fubo is missing TNT, which shows a large part of the NBA playoffs, which makes Fubo a bad choice for basketball fans. You can also watch Max’s TNT broadcast.
YouTube TV is $83 per month and includes all three channels needed to watch every game of the NBA playoffs. Insert your postal code on its welcome page to see which local networks in your region.

Sling TV’s $61 per month orange and blue plan includes ABC, ESPN, and TNT. However, for games on ABC, you need to live in one of the few markets that Sling offers ABC. The NBA Finals will be airing on ABC, so when June rolls, you won’t want it without it.

You need a standard plan of $17 per month to watch live sports on Max. (Or it’s a premium plan to add $21 per month for 4K streaming.) Max will show TNT broadcasts for the NBA playoffs. But with Max, you’ll miss games on ABC and ESPN.
