The NBA's Eastern Conference Finals head to Indiana for Game 3. We've put together everything you need to know about where to watch the Pacers vs. Knicks, including live streaming options for the rest of the Playoffs.
The No. 4 Indiana Pacers lead the overall series 2-0 over the No. 3 New York Knicks. Both of the first two games, which took place at Madison Square Garden, were tight match-ups that saw the Pacers lag in the first half before catching up in the second. Game 1 went into overtime, with a final score of 138-135. While Game 2 was able to stay within the confines of the four quarters, it was still a close one, with Indiana ultimately pulling ahead 114-109. Now, the Knicks will take to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to see if they can find some magic away from home. Games 3 and 4 will be held in Indiana, but if the Knicks can avoid a sweep, the series will return to New York.
No matter which team you're rooting for, we'll ensure you know how to tune in. Keep reading to learn some of the best ways to stream the game, and bookmark our NBA Playoffs guide for additional info.

How to watch Pacers vs. Knicks in the US
Fortunately, cord-cutters don't need to worry about missing out on any of the action. There are a few different ways to keep up with TNT, including live TV streaming packages like Sling TV and DirecTV, which we recommend since they will also enable you to watch the Western Conference Finals and the forthcoming Finals.
Sling TV is our top pick. Both base plans, Sling Blue and Orange, carry TNT in their lineups. However, we recommend Sling Orange since it also offers ESPN (and 33 other popular live channels, including ESPN3, which typically simulcasts NBA on ABC games). Subscriptions start at $46/month, but new customers can get 50% off their first month, making it just $23 for the NBA Playoffs.
DirecTV is another popular live TV service with TNT in its lineup. The MySports genre pack is one of the streamer's less expensive offerings. Subscriptions cost $70/month, but new users can get a five-day free trial. MySports comes with TNT, ESPN, and ABC (in select regions). It also automatically includes access to ESPN Plus, a perk for those who don't already have it.
Max, HBO's streaming counterpart, also carries live TNT games through its B/R Sports Add-on. You'll need to ensure you sign up for an ad-free plan to access the live option. These subscriptions start at $17/month and unlock ad-free on-demand content, although live services will still feature ads. Just keep in mind that this will only allow you to stream the Eastern Conference Finals, not the Western Conference or the NBA Finals.
