How to Watch Boston Celtics vs. Indiana Pacers Game 3 Without Cable
If your cable subscription doesn't include ABC or you've decided to cut ties with your cable provider, you still have options to watch today's game live. Below are the platforms where you can catch the game.
Get $25 Off Sling TV: The Most Economical Option to Stream the Celtics vs. Pacers Game
If you lack cable TV that carries ABC, one of the most budget-friendly methods to stream today's game is via a subscription to Sling TV. To catch the action, you'll require a subscription to the Blue tier, granting access to ABC and your local network affiliates (if accessible). To enhance your coverage and unlock NBA playoff games and the NBA Finals aired on ESPN, opt for the Orange + Blue tier plan.
The Blue tier is priced at $45 per month. Sling's Orange + Blue tier comes at $60 monthly, but presently, the platform offers a $25 discount on the first month of any pricing tier, reducing the Orange + Blue tier to $35 for the initial month.
Please note: Sling TV lacks CBS, so you won't access CBS-aired programming like next year's NFL games on CBS. For access to these games, alongside PGA golf, UEFA Champions League, and more live sports, we suggest subscribing to Paramount+ with Showtime. Paramount+ with Showtime is priced at $12 per month following a one-week free trial.
Also note: CBS Essentials and Paramount+ with Showtime are both divisions of Paramount.
