NBA TV on Sling TV

Sling TV is the next most affordable option to watch NBA TV. The channel is available through both the Sling TV “Orange” and “Blue package by adding the “Sports Extra” add-on channel pack. The additional sports package costs an additional $11 per month on top of the $40 for one of the Sling TV basic package, bringing the total to $51 per month.

We recommend picking up the “Blue” package over the “Orange” unless you want ESPN and other Disney Owned channels. The Blue channel package tends to have an overall better channel selection and allows you to stream to 3 devices simultaneously. The Orange plan only allows one stream at a time. You could opt to subscribe to both plans for $55 per month.

Sling TV is available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, and more, so it’s not a problem to enjoy NBA TV on a TV, tablet, computer, or other smart devices.  There are more channels available on Sling TV than what I’ve mentioned here.
