Where it is available. In-market territory for Spectrum SportsNet/SportsNet+ = Southern California, Hawaii and Southern Nevada — Las Vegas-area fans are in-market for the Lakers (overlap also relevant to the Clippers' former FanDuel SoCal territory).
Local rights, apps and prices from each team, network and service’s own pages; schedules from the leagues and ESPN. Blackouts follow the league’s territory map, not state lines, so a game marked local may not be available at the edge of the market.
