The Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics square off tonight in the second game of the NBA Eastern Conference. Miami won Game 1 with an impressive comeback on Wednesday. They’re now hoping the series will turn out more like their 2020 4-2 Finals win over the Celtics, and less like their 2022 3-4 defeat.

Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Game 2 is at 8:30 p.m. ET tonight, May 19. It will be broadcast on TNT in the U.S., as will the other games in the series. A few of the best live TV streaming services have TNT, including one that has a free trial. We’ve collected all your options below.

Sling TV is a good option for people looking to permanently cut out their cable. It has two separate packages of channels, each $40, so you only pay for the channels you’ll actually use. We’ve been begging traditional cable to do this for decades. In order to get TNT, you’ll need the Sling Orange package, which also includes channels like ESPN, TBS and the Food Network. There is no Sling TV free trial right now, but you can get your first month for only $30 if you’re a first time subscriber.

Watch the Heat vs the Celtics live stream on Hulu with Live TV

Hulu with Live TV is another way to watch TNT online. There isn’t a Hulu with Live TV free trial right now, but you can bundle the service with Disney+ and ESPN+ in the Disney Bundle and save a ton every month. The full package is $70 per month. Basically, if you already have the basic Hulu, Disney+ or ESPN+, this deal will be one of the cheaper options, since those services are all included with a Hulu with Live TV subscription.

It’s not always easy to watch U.S. sports from abroad. Sports licensing is complicated enough just in the U.S., forget about internationally. But there is an easy solution. Just get one of the best VPNs out there, connect to a U.S. server, then sign up for any of the above services. We recommend NordVPN as the best VPN for streaming. Right now you can get a two-year subscription for the equivalent of $6.69 per month.
