Bucks-Pacers free livestream online: How to watch NBA playoffs game 5, TV, schedule

The Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks face off in game 5 of their first round series tonight at 8:30 p.m. CT on TNT. Fans can livestream tonight’s game for free by utilizing the free trial offered by DirecTV Stream. Alternatively, fans can purchase an affordable Sling subscription and receive a 50% discount during their first month of service. Both of these streaming services will allow fans to also watch other NBA playoff action tonight, including 76ers-Knicks and Cavaliers-Magic.

Tonight’s matchup is a must-win for the Bucks because they are currently trailing 3-1 in the series. The Bucks have had horrible luck with injuries, as star players Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo are doubtful to play in game 5 tonight. Antetokounmpo has missed every game in this series due to a calf injury and has not played in an NBA game since early April. Meanwhile, Lillard missed all of game 4 with an achilles injury that will likely keep him sidelined for the game tonight. So, the Bucks are going to be in a difficult position to keep their season alive in Milwaukee tonight because those two players were the key parts of their offense.

The Pacers are a dangerous team in the Eastern Conference because of the talent they have across the roster, including Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner. Haliburton is questionable to play in game 5 tonight, but Siakam and Turner should be able to pick up the slack in Haliburton’s absence. Haliburton is averaging less than 16 points per game in this series, which is about four points less than his regular season average. Meanwhile, Siakam and Turner are both averaging more than 24 points per game this postseason, which is much higher than their regular season averages.

Although tonight’s game is looking doomed for the Bucks because of the injuries to Lillard and Antetokounmpo, the role players will play with maximum effort to keep their season alive in Milwaukee. So, fans can livestream the game tonight for free by using DirecTV Stream. Purchasing a Sling subscription is an alternative option for fans, as they will receive a 50% discount during their first month of service. Other NBA playoff action is available on both streaming services tonight, including 76ers-Knicks and Cavaliers-Magic.
