How to Watch Game 2 of the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Playoff Series
Milwaukee Bucks enthusiasts shouldn’t miss Game 2 of their NBA playoff series against the Indiana Pacers on April 22. Following a tight loss in Game 1 on April 19, the Bucks are determined to even the score. Excitement is brewing as Damian Lillard is set to make his much-anticipated return after being sidelined for over a month due to blood clots in his right calf. However, if you’re planning to watch Lillard’s comeback via NBA TV streaming or the NBA’s League Pass without FanDuel Wisconsin, you might face a local blackout. Here’s everything you need to know about following the action of Game 2.
The showdown will tip off at 6 p.m. on April 22 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Fans in Milwaukee intending to watch the Bucks-Pacers faceoff on NBA TV need to be aware of local broadcast restrictions. NBA TV viewers in Milwaukee who do not use their local cable provider will need an alternative mode to catch the game, as it will be blacked out in local markets like Milwaukee and Indianapolis. Numerous social media users have reported encountering blackout messages during games. This is because the NBA grants exclusive rights to local and national content providers for live game broadcasts.
Live games featuring local teams on NBA TV are subject to blackout restrictions. However, these blacked-out games become available on-demand shortly after they’re archived in the NBA League Pass Archives. The blackout’s reach is dictated by IP address or location services.
Apart from NBA TV, you can catch the local broadcast on FanDuel Wisconsin, which showcases the Bucks’ local announcers. Check with your cable provider for channel details, and explore FanDuelSportsNetwork for a variety of subscription packages. Blacked-out games on NBA League Pass can also be accessed through regional sports networks or NBA TV via cable. FanDuel Sports Network supports streaming on multiple platforms, including FanDuelSportsNetwork.com, mobile devices, Samsung TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, and others. If cable isn’t an option, the FanDuel Sports streaming app is your go-to. Note that Hulu and YouTube TV do not support FanDuel Sports Network.
