NBA Schedule 2017-18: Complete national TV schedule

With the NBA regular season right around the corner, here’s all of the info for all of the nationally televised games this year.

The NBA schedule release day has become almost a holiday for basketball fans, and Monday finally came for the entirety of the year’s games to come out. With some fans out of market for their favorite teams, a big piece of the day came when the league dropped the official national TV schedule.

Some games were already known, like the Christmas Day schedule and some games for the opening week of the season. However, Monday brought the official full list of games, and fans can mark their calendars for when their favorite teams will appear on ABC, ESPN and TNT.

Obviously the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors will make a ton of appearances on national television, with the Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder as big rivalry games for each of last year’s conference champions.

However, another team with a ton of national action will be the Houston Rockets, and fans will have 28 chances to check out the new duo of James Harden and Chris Paul on the three major networks throughout the year.

Another team on the rise is the Minnesota Timberwolves, who will see plenty of action on national television over this year’s regular season. The team will have 25 games on national TV, which isn’t surprising to hear at all considering the addition of Jimmy Butler from the Chicago Bulls during the NBA Draft this offseason.

Meanwhile, Bulls fans may be upset to hear that they only have one game on TNT this year, breaking the impact of “TNT Bulls” that fans have become accustomed to. With the loss of Butler, the league obviously doesn’t see them as the same threat as they once did.
