How to watch Cavaliers vs. Knicks in the US
Cord-cutters have a massive selection of services to choose from for live streaming ESPN. The network's direct streaming counterpart is ESPN Unlimited, which offers live streams from all of ESPN's linear networks (plus tons of other content) for $30 a month.
If you'd prefer a service that carries other networks, DirecTV, Fubo, or Sling TV can help. These are some of the best live TV streaming services we've tested, and they're all available on month-to-month plans, so you can cancel at any time.
ESPN and ABC are available in DirecTV's MySports genre pack. It costs $65 a month, but new users can get $20 a month off their first two months after a five-day free trial. MySports offers around 20 channels, including access to ESPN Unlimited.
ESPN and ABC are also available in Fubo's Sports + News lineup. It costs $56 a month, but first-time customers can get $10 off their first month after a five-day free trial. Sports + News offers around 28 channels and unlocks access to ESPN Unlimited.
Sling TV also carries ESPN in its Sling Essentials and Sling Orange plans. These subscriptions cost $20 a month and $46 a month, respectively. There is also a cheaper short-term version of Sling Orange, starting at $5 a day, which can be a good fit if you're only looking to watch a single game. Just keep in mind that Sling Orange and Sling Essentials don't carry ABC (Sling Select or Sling Blue might have it in your ZIP code, but local channel availability varies by market on Sling).
