NBA Schedule 2018-19: Complete TNT TV schedule
By Nir Regev
The NBA on TNT game schedule for the 2018-19 season has been released and FanSided has all the details including fun statistics.
According to the NBA’s league schedule for the 2018-19 season, Cleveland Cavaliers fans might be surprised to discover they won’t have a single game air on TNT. Naturally, this is what happens when LeBron James leaves a franchise but it’s quite remarkable not even one Cavs game made the cut.
Meanwhile, LeBron’s new squad, the Los Angeles Lakers, have 13 games this season while last year’s champion Golden State Warriors have 12 in comparison. Last season’s Eastern Conference challengers, the Boston Celtics, similarly have 12 games while east coast rival 76ers have 11. Last season’s Western Conference challengers, the Houston Rockets, also have 13 games to match the Lakers.
Kawhi Leonard on the Raptors got them seven games compared to the Spurs’ four. The Thunder have 11 games on TNT while the Pelicans, Trail Blazers, and Nuggets have five each, respectively. The Bucks have eight games airing this season while the Jazz, Mavericks, Pacers, Timberwolves and Wizards have three. Knicks fans will only get one game against the Celtics on Dec. 6, but are still doing better than the Nets who will have none. The Magic, Hornets, and Hawks similarly have no games airing on TNT. The Suns will get one game this season against the Mavericks, a home game at least for Phoenix. Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies will also get one home game this season against the Pelicans and the Bulls will have one away game against the 76ers. It appears the roster of the team is more the foundation of TNT’s schedule rather than the size of the market alone. Let’s look at the full schedule below.
