Bucks guard Malik Beasley recently discussed Milwaukee’s Game 1 performance against the Pacers in the NBA Playoffs. In that game, Beasley scored nine points while also doing solid defensive work on Tyrese Haliburton. The Bucks came out victorious in Game 1.
Many NBA fans, particularly those who support the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic, were unable to watch their favorite teams play in the playoffs on Monday due to the games being blacked out. This issue is expected to continue on Tuesday when the Bucks face off against the Pacers, with blackouts in some areas.
Blackout restrictions are put in place because local and national content providers have exclusive rights to televise live games. This means that games may be blacked out in certain regions to ensure fans watch through the designated channels.
The NBA’s blackout restrictions are determined by your current location, using factors such as IP address or location services. This can cause problems for fans who may have certain streaming services that do not carry the regional channels.
To watch NBA games during a blackout, fans can explore options like Bally Sports+ or platforms like FuboTV that offer Bally Sports in their packages. These services may require a subscription fee but can provide access to games that are subject to blackout restrictions.
