How to watch NBA Cup games live or stream NBA Cup games this week:

While we typically love Fubo for most sports, there's one caveat when subscribing to Fubo specifically for NBA access, and that's the fact that the platform doesn't carry TNT. TNT will be broadcasting three out of four of this week's NBA Cup games, and fortunately, you can tune in to TNT, as well as ESPN, ABC, NBA TV and ESPN2 on DirecTV and Hulu with Live TV. You can also stream games on TNT with a subscription to Max.
