The 2023-24 NBA schedule has been released, with the NBA season starting October 24. ESPN compiled a list of teams who have the most televised game, via a YouTube post:
Golden State Warriors – 41
Los Angeles Lakers – 40
Phoenix Suns – 37
Boston Celtics – 35
Denver Nuggets – 30
Milwaukee Bucks – 30
Philadelphia 76ers – 29
Dallas Mavericks – 28
New York Knicks – 25
Miami Heat – 24
The list is expectedly filled with the biggest NBA stars and markets. Stephen Curry and LeBron James are still at the top of the list of the most popular basketball players, and the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers are premiere NBA markets.
The Phoenix Suns with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker going on a full-season quest to win the NBA title. The Boston Celtics boast another big NBA market, storied history and two stars in Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown.
The Denver Nuggets are the 2023 NBA champions. All eyes are on Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and the gang. The Milwaukee Bucks have the best player in the NBA in Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Philadelphia 76ers have the 2023 NBA MVP Joel Embiid and all the continual drama that make must-see NBA TV.
Everyone is waiting to see the Luka Doncic-Kyrie Irving duo do that work. The New York Knicks are good. A decent Knicks team always gets plenty of attention.
The Miami Heat have been in the NBA title mix the last couple years. Who can miss out on Jimmy Butler punking everybody on their TV screen? And how many of the 24 nationally televised Heat games will feature Damian Lillard in a Miami Heat uniform?
I can’t wait for the 2023-24 NBA season to start.
