ESPN and ABC are just a couple of options for watching NFL, basketball, baseball and more, but sports fans can also catch live games for the NBA and NHL on TNT. Unless you have cable, though, your viewing options are limited. Cord-cutters don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on a cable package in order to get access to basketball games and other TNT content — there are affordable streaming options such as live TV streamers that’ll give you instant access and for a fraction of the price.
