NBA League Pass & Blackout games.

I subscribe to NBA League Pass and live in the Springfield, MO area.  Memphis Grizzlies and OKC Thunder are listed as blackout teams for my area, so I cannot view them on the League Pass channels.  However, those games aren't broadcasted on any other channels I get (for instance, I only get Bally Sports Midwest, which doesn't broadcast those teams).  Am I able to watch those teams at all, besides ESPN, TNT, etc?

Try Bally Sports South for the Grizzlies, and Kansas City & Southwest for the Thunder. I have watched them on Apple TV!

There are a few cases around the country where local interest in the channel is slim-to-none and the channel may not be carried on basic tears.

I'm in central Ohio and in Pittsburgh Pirates territory...yet I think the only way to get the Pirates channel is on DirecTV and/or DirecTV Stream.

So yeah, whenever the Pirates play home or away, unless they're on national TV or my local Bally channels, I'm blacked out...even though I live in their zone.

What you might be able to do... subscribe to the sports pack for one month (maybe you're eligible for a free preview or some discounts) and see if you can get the games on their Bally channel that way.
