How to watch the Cavaliers vs. Magic game without cable
If your cable subscription doesn’t carry NBA TV or you’ve cut the cord with your cable company, you can still watch today’s game. Below are the platforms on which you can watch tonight’s Cavaliers vs. Magic game live.
Sling TV: The most cost-effective way to stream the Cavaliers vs. Magic game
One of the most cost-effective ways to stream today’s game is through a subscription to Sling TV.
