Just like with hockey and baseball, your options for watching local NBA games this year can vary drastically based on where you live. In 2025, all but one NBA team offers standalone streaming options, allowing you to watch in-market games without an expensive pay TV package. Six NBA teams are also broadcasting local games over the air, so you can watch for free with an antenna (don’t miss TechHive’s top TV antenna recommendations). Meanwhile, a couple of pay TV holdouts remain. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone provided a single page on which to look up your local NBA team and see what you needed to watch in-market games without cable for the 2024-2025 season? That is precisely the service we are providing right here. (If you missed it, here’s a similar resource for this season’s NHL coverage.) NBA in-market streaming options: An overview for 2024-2025 Below is a chart showing every National Basketball Association team, its corresponding local channel or regional sports network, the live TV streaming services that carry those channels, and whether any standalone alternatives exist. Note that these options only apply for locally televised, in-market games. We’ll get to the options for nationally televised games—including most playoff coverage—in a bit. If you find this chart difficult to read, you can also view a version on Google Sheets.

Out-of-market NBA streaming As in previous years, NBA League Pass lets you watch any out-of-market game that isn’t nationally-televised. If your favorite team plays in a different city from where you live, you can forgo the regional sports options above and get League Pass instead. It costs $17 per month or $110 for the season. What about nationally televised games? The unbundled options above won’t entitle you to NBA games that air on national television, including the playoffs and in-season tournament (now dubbed the “Emirates NBA Cup”). Those games are split between ESPN, ABC, and TNT, with a small number of playoff games on NBA TV, so figuring out the best course of action can get tricky. TNT’s basketball coverage is still included with Max at $10 per month with ads or $17 per month without. While Warner eventually plans to charge an extra $10 per month for live sports, it’s not doing so yet. NBA TV is available on a standalone basis through NBA League Pass, which also includes out-of-market games. It costs $17 per month or $110 for the season. As for the other channels, you could try to pick up ABC’s coverage with an antenna, but that still doesn’t help you with the games on ESPN. All of which brings us to live TV streaming services, which are the best way to bundle everything together: Sling TV Orange is the cheapest option at $40 per month (plus an extra $11 per month for NBA TV), but it’s missing ABC in all but a handful of markets. YouTube TV is a more complete option at $73 per month. Hulu + Live TV costs $83 per month but does not carry NBA TV. Fubo includes regional sports in many markets, but is much pricier at $92 per month (or more, depending on regional sports fees) and lacks TNT, a major source of NBA coverage. DirecTV Stream also includes regional sports for most markets in its “Choice” package, but it’s expensive at $115 per month. Ultimately you’ll have to decide whether to piece things together (or even forgo some NBA coverage) in pursuit of greater savings, or pay more for the convenience of a bigger bundle.

Humans aren’t infallible, as much as we’d like to be. That includes security experts, as Troy Hunt revealed yesterday. Turns out, the legend behind HaveIBeenPwned (a site that lets you see which data breaches you’ve been in) got phished when trying to log into Mailchimp. In a post titled “A Sneaky Phish Just Grabbed my Mailchimp Mailing List,” Hunt runs down the situation, starting with how it began (jet lag and fatigue while traveling) and how it ended (the phisher capturing his credentials, logging in, and then exporting all 16,000 email addresses associated with his newsletter). If you’ve been affected, Hunt has already loaded those email addresses into the HaveIBeenPwned database. The list includes people who already unsubscribed from the newsletter—Mailchimp does not delete these email addresses from its databases. You can read the full details of what happened in the post, but I was most struck by the lessons to take away from Hunt’s clear account of the incident. Not just the things to watch out for, but how to set up your digital life so you’re still safe if you slip up. Let’s dig in: Don’t rely on warning signs Walking through Hunt’s tale, you can see that scams do signal what they are. In Hunt’s case, multiple small warning signs existed: False urgency in the email Sender of the email was fake Autofill from 1Password didn’t trigger on the illegitimate site A security expert of Hunt’s level normally would be sensitive to these details. But he was tired while traveling—a situation any of us could find ourselves in. A copy of the phishing email that tripped up Hunt.Troy Hunt / HaveIBeenPwned The lesson here: If you receive an urgent email or message, skip the link provided—instead, log into your accounts directly. (Similarly, return phone calls using official phone numbers from a bank statement or the back of your bank card—or at the very least, Google the provided number to verify its authenticity.) This strategy gives some cushion against having to be 100 percent sharp about spotting scams, 24/7. Passkeys are also the better method for logging in, as they’re phishing resistant. So are stronger methods of 2FA, like hardware keys (e.g., Yubikeys or a Google Titan Security Key). Leaving a service won’t protect you from data breaches As Hunt discovered while parsing his lost data, not all companies delete your data if you leave them. In fact, in the case of Mailchimp, they appear to purposely retain email addresses of unsubscribers so that they can’t be readded to a list. Most services have a way to delete you from their databases. (Various state and national governments have laws requiring an easy way to be deleted—also known as the right to be forgotten.) Unless you make that request, though, you could be part of any number massive troves of data, ripe for stealing by bad actors.  And the more data that hackers have about you (what your interests are, where you shop, etc), the easier it is for them to target you. Masked emails keep your real address hidden from websites.Michael Ansaldo/Foundry The lesson here: To truly sever a relationship with a website, you have to request the deletion of your data. Such a step can be worthwhile for extremely sensitive data, like genetics testing. For everything else, consider using email masks instead. You’ll have a unique email alias for each service, so if anyone of them is breached, the data can’t be easily used to build a profile of you. It can happen to anyone Hunt’s experience is a reminder that scams can prey on just about anyone—and that if you do, it’s not because you’re stupid. Sometimes you’re just busy, stressed, or otherwise too preoccupied to realize what’s in front of you. But you shouldn’t stop being vigilant. A security guru falling for a phishing scam doesn’t mean we’re all doomed. On the contrary, you have just as much chance of successfully evading schemes as everyone else. When I write about security, it’s not from a place of authoritative expertise. I know I’m just as susceptible as everyone else—and so I share whatever useful info I have, so that we can all watch our tails. Read...
