We already mentioned Fubo, which is your first and easiest option to watch a free live stream of the game. However, if you’ve already used your Fubo free trial, there are still same other ways to stream the game at no initial cost. DirecTV Stream‘s “Choice” package includes both Bally Sports Detroit Extra and Bally Sports North in local markets, while NBA League Pass is available as an add-on, letting you watch the game live from out of market. As is the case with Fubo, you can include any package and any add-on you want with your DirecTV Stream free trial.

While Fubo and DirecTV Stream are full-on cable-replacing streaming services with over 100 live TV channels, you can also go the direction of Bally Sports+ if you’re looking for something a little more basic. This option simply lets you watch a live stream of your local Bally Sports network if you live in market. It also comes with a free seven-day trial.

For out-of-market viewers, NBA League Pass is also available through Amazon Prime Channels. You’ll need a subscription to Amazon Prime to sign up, but you can get a free trial of both Prime and the League Pass Channel.

Most streaming services are location-restricted, meaning if you travel outside of the United States you won’t be able to watch. One way to work around that is through a virtual private network (VPN), which masks your IP address and lets you browse or stream as if you were still at home.  NordVPN is our recommendation, and it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, letting you try it out risk-free.
