FuboTV offers a free trial as well as up to $30 off your first month. You can stream ESPN Unlimited on your phone, tablet, smart TV or gaming console, and those with DIRECTV, FuboTV or Hulu + Live TV, which all offer a free trial, can access ESPN Unlimited through their package at no additional cost.

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but they do tend to offer money-back guarantees or free trials. By leveraging these offers, you can watch NBA live streams without actually spending anything. This isn't a long-term solution, but it does mean you can watch select NBA games before recovering your investment.

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs head to South Beach on Monday night for an East-West battle with the high-scoring Miami Heat. The game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. ET with TV coverage on NBC Sports Now and streaming on-demand.
