For $75/month (and a 5-day free trial), DirecTV Stream has every channel you’ll need to catch all the best games from the Playoffs. Although it’s the most expensive live TV streaming service, it boasts the most RSNs and special features for sports fanatics, in addition to the major networks like ESPN, TNT, FS1 and TBS.

Sling TV is the most comprehensive and affordable way to stream all the necessary networks for the Playoffs. The streamer’s Sling Orange package includes ESPN, TNT and ESPN3. Plus, a limited-time deal cuts the price of your first month in half to only $20/month. To catch every game, you’ll want to sign up for their Orange + Blue Package, which also includes ABC, also half off for your first month ($30/month).

Hulu + Live TV is another great way to catch all the action live, with the option to record the games to watch later with Cloud DVR. In addition to having access to all the networks that will be broadcasting this year’s Playoffs (ABC, ESPN and TNT), you’ll also be able to watch Hulu’s extensive lineup of original shows and movies.
BUY NOW:
Fubo TV is one of the more expensive options for streaming the NBA, but it’s also the most comprehensive. The Pro Plan gets you more than 157 channels, including ESPN and ABC, but its lack of TNT might make Sling TV the better option for the Playoffs. In general, though, Fubo TV is one of the best options for streaming live sports, with 35 RSNs and local networks such as NBC, CBS, Fox, FS1, FS2, BeIn Sports, the Big 10 and the Golf Channel. They’re currently offering a 7-day free trial.
