The Cheapest Live-Streaming Option for 2023 NBA All-Star Game:

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly streaming service and don’t necessarily need a free trial, Sling TV could be the best bet. Thanks to a special promotion from the streamer, you can now get a subscription for just $20 for your first month, which means that you can stream this year’s NBA All-Star Weekend at a pretty reasonable rate!

Both the Sling Blue and Orange packages carry TNT, so you can compare and contrast the channel options between the two plans. But, for sports, fans, we’d recommend getting the Orange and Blue package, which will give you TNT, TBS, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, USA Network, FOX, and CBS.

A monthly subscription to Sling is normally $40 per month, but right now new users can sign up and get 50% off your first month. If you opt for both Orange and Blue, a regular month would be $55, but with the current deal, it would be just $27.50.
