ESPN and ABC are just a couple of options for watching NFL, basketball, baseball and more, but sports fans can also catch live games for the NBA and NHL on TNT. Unless you have cable, though, your viewing options are limited. Cord-cutters don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on a cable package in order to get access to basketball games and other TNT content — there are affordable streaming options such as live TV streamers that’ll give you instant access and for a fraction of the price.
With current free trials and promos going on, you can livestream the NBA tip-off for free or for less than $100 a month. You’ll also get access to hundreds of other live TV channels that’ll expand your program options, so you can watch sports, reality TV and the latest dramas live and in real time.
And, if you’re interested in catching the NBA tip-off in addition to regular season games, TNT will be airing select matchups that are also going to be simulcasted on TruTV.
