Looking to keep up with the Cavs vs. Pacers playoff series? Read on. Below is a quick guide on how to livestream every Cavaliers vs. Pacers playoff game without cable, plus a full schedule for the series.

How to Watch Cavaliers vs. Pacers Playoff Games Online

Cavaliers vs. Pacers playoff games will be shown on TNT, ESPN, or possibly ABC (right now, the schedule lists only TNT and ESPN). If you don’t have cable, the best way to stream Cavs vs. Pacers games online is with a live TV streaming service that includes TNT, ESPN, and ABC. TNT games are also available to stream on Max, but ABC and ESPN games are not.

The best way to watch the NBA Playoffs this year, including the Cavs vs. Pacers series, is DirecTV. The longtime provider is now available as a streaming service (no dish or other hardware required), and it carries every channel showing playoff games. The best package for basketball fans is the MySports plan, which carries 20+ key sports channels, including TNT, ABC, and ESPN. It costs $69.99 a month, but, like every DirecTV package, you get a five-day free trial to start.

Sling is another one of the best ways to watch Cavs vs. Pacers playoff livestreams without cable. The service carries ESPN, ABC, and TNT in its upgraded Orange + Blue package, which starts at $66 a month. Sling does not offer a free trial, but you can get half off your first month for an introductory price starting at $33.

Another cable streamer we like that carries ESPN, ABC, and TNT is Hulu + Live TV. This one starts with a three-day free trial, but it’s more pricey than the above at $82.99 a month. However, you get more channels (90+) and complimentary access to ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu’s full on-demand library. If you need a full new streaming setup, it’s a great deal.
