Round 1 of the NBA playoffs live streams is here, and the big matchups keep coming. So far, the Nets are thriving, Luka Doncic’s leaving the Mavs to success and Damian Lillard dropped 34 points on the Nuggets. But what’s next? First up is the Wizards vs 76ers live stream, as Philly’s first step towards title contention goes through Russ.
Then, a slightly injured LeBron James will look to work with A.D. in the Lakers vs Suns live stream before Julius Randle leads New York into the Hawks vs Knicks live stream, a return to the playoffs for the knickerbockers. Last, but not least, the Grizzlies vs Jazz live stream sees a rested Utah looking to make short work of Memphis.
NBA Playoffs standings: Eastern Conference
If it feels like the NBA playoffs are happening too soon — well, that’s because the NBA season is a little shorter than the average, as the ripple effects of last year’s bubble season remain.
We’re now on the other end of the play-in games, and looking to see who makes it to round 2.
NBA Playoffs standings: Western Conference
But speaking of the Knicks, while the NY faithful celebrated their locked-in playoffs spot, but they’ve got a big challenge to stop: hot handed PG Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks — himself surrounded by plenty of firepower. The Knicks’ regular season defense needs to stay strong this time.
How to watch NBA live streams with a VPN
If you’re away from home, or you’re subject to regional blackouts, can’t watch the NBA live streams from where you are, you can still get the livestreams with a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it so that you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town, so you can access the same streaming services you already paid for.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We’ve tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you’ve got other VPN options as well. Here are our top picks.
We think speed, security and simplicity make ExpressVPN second to none. During our tests, we saw fast connection times, and we’re impressed by the service’s ability to access more than 3,000 services spread out across 160 locations in 94 countries.View Deal
How to watch the NBA playoffs live streams in the US
In the U.S., the NBA’s nationally televised games are airing on ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV.
If you don’t have a cable or satellite package, and have cut the cord, you can get those channels via live TV streaming services (depending on your region), including Sling TV, Hulu With Live TV, Fubo TV and AT&T TV Now.
Of these options, we recommend Sling TV, which starts at $35 a month and offers more than 50 channels, including ESPN (in its Orange package). Sling may not have ABC, but ABC NBA playoff games will be simulcast on ESPN3 — which Sling has.
ESPN and TNT are a part of the Sling TV Orange package, which costs $35 and comes with more than 30 channels. Get the NBA TV add-on for $10. Sling TV is offering $25 dollars off the first month.
Fubo.TV: If you love sports, you probably want to check out Fubo.TV. It’s got a 7-day free trial so you don’t need to pay up front. Fubo’s dozens of channels include local networks like ABC and ESPN. You can also add on NBA TV. Fubo doesn’t have TNT.View Deal
