Three of the five major services provide all four channels. Fubo is missing TNT, which shows a large part of the NBA playoffs, which makes Fubo a bad choice for basketball fans. You can also use Max to watch the playoffs TNT/TRUTV broadcast.

Sling TV's $61 per month orange and blue plan includes ABC, ESPN, TNT, and TRUTV. However, for games on ABC, you need to live in one of the few markets that Sling offers ABC. The NBA Finals will be airing on ABC, so when June rolls, you won't want it without it.

You need a standard plan of $17 per month to watch live sports on Max. (Or it's a premium plan for $21 per month to add 4K streams.) Max will show TNT/TRUTV broadcasts for the NBA playoffs. But with Max, you'll miss games on ABC and ESPN.
