How to watch the Knicks and Pacers playoff game online
Every game in the Knicks and Pacers playoff series will be aired on TNT. If you don't have a cable, you can use any live TV streaming service with TNT or Max, live streaming the Knicks and the Walkers game. Here is a further breakdown of the three best options:
Editing selection
DirectV
➤ advantage: Free trial, affordable genre packages including ESPN+
➤ shortcoming: Entertainment channels in genre packages are not as good as other options
DirectV is more expensive than Max (below) to watch the Knicks vs. Pacers, but this is our best choice for two reasons. First, DirecTV offers a free trial (five days). Second, the service also carries ESPN and ABC, which means you can also play Thunder vs. Timberwolves Western Conference Dinals Games. DirecTV's MySports Pack is the best choice for all of these channels, with a monthly price of $69.99 after a free trial. Plus, it includes ESPN+ for more sports content.
Maximum
➤ advantage: Affordable on-demand content
➤ shortcoming: Limited on-site insurance, no free trial
If you want a more affordable option (and don't mind missing out on the Thunder vs. Timberwolves series), Max is a great way to stream the Knicks and Pacers playoffs live online. Plan for only $9.99 per month, and you will be able to watch some other sports displayed on TNT, such as some NHL playoffs.
Sling
➤ advantage: A large number of channels, easy to use
➤ shortcoming: No free trial
Another great live TV streaming service you can use to watch the Knicks’ basketball game against the Pacers. This service includes all plans for TNT and starts at $46 per month. If you also want ABC and ESPN, upgrade to Sled Orange + Blue for $61. Both plans offer a 50% discount in your first month.
