The No. 1-ranked Boston Celtics are headed South tonight to face off against the Miami Heat. The teams last met in October when the Celtics won 119-111. In May of last year, the Heat got the better of Boston in an 84-103 win for Miami. There’s still plenty of time left in the season, but, at No. 6 in the East, the Heat will have to start thinking about their spot in the playoffs.

If you’re looking to watch the Celtics vs. Heat game online tonight, read on. Below is a quick guide on how to livestream the Celtics vs. Heat game without cable, including an easy way to watch the game for free.

How to Watch Celtics vs. Heat Game Without Cable

Tonight’s Celtics vs. Heat game is being broadcast nationally on TNT, so tune in there if you have cable. If you don’t have cable, you’ll want to get a live TV streaming service that carries the channel; here are three of our favorites.

Stream Celtics vs. Heat on DirecTV Stream

Our favorite live TV streaming service with TNT is DirecTV Stream, which essentially re-packages the satellite giant’s service for cord-cutters. DirecTV Stream’s most affordable plan is the Entertainment package, which carries TNT in a 75-channel lineup and costs $79.99 a month. However, before you pay anything, you’ll get a five-day free trial to start.

Stream Celtics vs. Heat on Sling

Cord-cutting can get surprisingly expensive, which is why Sling is a great option for some. The live TV streaming service starts at just $40 a month, making it significantly cheaper than other options. You do get fewer channels (the Orange package carries 32 channels) but you get major networks like TNT. Plus, Sling is currently running a deal that gets you half off your first month of service.

Stream Celtics vs. Heat on Hulu + Live TV

For a comprehensive on-demand and live TV streaming service, consider Hulu + Live TV. Subscriptions cost $76.99 a month (no free trial), but you get 90 live TV channels — including TNT for tonight’s game — as well as free subscriptions to ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu (on-demand). This makes it a great option for streamlining your whole setup.
