Just like many times in the past, Reddit has done it again, it has decided to ban r/nbastreams. The decision came after the social networking website banned MmmStreams, CricketStreams and SoccerStream reddits. This has led to a disappointment among the NBA fans and rightly so as they will now face trouble watching their favorite hoops live.
For those who have not yet heard about the said subreddit, it was a reddit community having more than 400k members and they shared streaming links for basketball games and talked about them. Talking and discussing the games is completely legal, but some of the members were using the subreddit for the purpose of sharing free live streaming links which are obviously illegal.
Taking action against those members, Reddit has altogether banned the Subreddit. There used to be hundreds of links for streaming matches on the subreddit and reddit did not like it. After the subreddit got taken down the users saw an error that showed the reason for such ban as the violation of the copyright policies.
NBA fans are now left scratching their heads and asking what to do now. Well, here we have provided two methods, by using which you can still watch free NBA Basketball matches. Keep in mind we do not promote you to watch the matches illegally and the article is only for educational purposes.
Ways to Watch NBA Online for free
1. Discord Channel of r/nbastreams
Discord is chatroom app that is free to use on any mobile or computer device. It is somewhat interesting that the admins of this discord channel were already aware of the plausible shut-down of the reddit page. Resultantly, the discord was created and now there are streaming links for NBA matches available. Apart from the live streaming links, you can also see live score tipper and discussion rooms on this discord channel.
It is like a duplicate copy of the subreddit. There will be a new channel opened right before any new match and then you will be able to find links including direct links with a different quality option which you can choose as per your internet connection. Apart from the direct links, there are also AceStream links present on this discord channel
2. Livetv.sx
Livetv.sx is a somewhat different method from the above two as it not only provides a link to specific basketball matches but it includes all the sports like Cricket, Tennis, Basketball, Hockey, Football, etc. In these sports all the major sporting events like the NBA, NHL, Copa America, Spanish LaLiga, English premier league, and UEFA Champions League.
This is a high-end website as it uses peer-to-peer technology for streaming that enables a large number of viewers to smoothly watch live streams. You can also watch highlights of some matches apart from live streams. There is a comment section as well in which you can discuss the game. For playing it in a browser, you will need to install Adobe Flash Player.
