How to watch Spurs vs. Thunder in the US

The Spurs vs. Thunder series will air on NBC in the US. This means that cord-cutters can live stream every game through Peacock or a live TV streaming service. Peacock's sports-friendly plans start at $11 a month for Peacock Premium, but you can upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus (ad-free on-demand content and a full NBC live stream) for $17 a month.

If you'd prefer to live stream the games through a service that carries other sports networks (like ESPN, which is showing the Eastern Conference Finals), then one of the best live TV streaming services might be of interest. DirecTV and Sling are two of our favorite options that also carry NBC.

DirecTV offers NBC in its MyNews and MySports genre packs, which cost $40 a month and $65 a month, respectively. New customers can get $20 a month off of MySports during their first two months of service, and all DirecTV plans come with a five-day free trial. NBC is also available in DirecTV's signature packages.

Sling TV offers NBC in its Select and Blue plans. However, local channel availability varies by market, so it's a good idea to see what's available in your ZIP code before signing up. If local channels are in the mix, Select plans start at $25 a month and Blue plans start at $51 a month.

How to watch Spurs vs. Thunder from anywhere

Basketball fans traveling abroad can still keep up with their usual streaming options with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are easy-to-use tech tools that let people temporarily alter the virtual location on their electronic devices, such as phones or laptops. This way, their favorite websites and apps work from anywhere and they don't need to miss out on any games just because they're traveling away from home.

NordVPN is our top pick right now. It's one of the best VPNs on the market, thanks to its fast speeds, massive selection of servers, and 30-day money-back guarantee.
