The NBA recently released its full schedule for the 2023-24 season. This includes the slate for the league’s prestigious national TV games on channels such as ESPN, TNT, ABC and NBA TV.
As usual, the biggest markets with the most star power top the list. Coming in first with 41 nationally televised games is the Golden State Warriors, led by superstar point guard Steph Curry.
The Warriors are followed by the LA Lakers, led by LeBron James, with 40 games on national TV. This should come as a surprise to no one given that Curry and James are still viewed as the faces of the NBA.

Meanwhile, five teams, the Charlotte Hornets, Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards, are tied for the fewest nationally televised games next season at four games each.
