The 2019 NBA Finals kicks off tonight with the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors. While games early in the post-season aired on multiple networks including your your RSN, all games of the NBA Finals will be on ABC and ESPN3. Sling is running a special promotion where you can get Sling Orange (which includes ESPN3) for just $15 a month for your first month, after a 7-Day Free Trial.

For cord-cutters, this means that you can either watch the game OTA with an antenna or through a Live TV Streaming Service. PlayStation Vue, Hulu Live TV, and YouTube TV each carry ABC in ~175 markets, while DIRECTV NOW carries the local is ~90 markets.

Fortunately, the game will be simulcast on ESPN3, which means that if you subscribe to Sling TV Orange Plan, you can still watch game without the need of an antenna. If by chance you don’t get access to ABC in your local market with PlayStation Vue or YouTube TV, you can also stream the game on ESPN3.
