The NBA released the second half of the season schedule on Wednesday, as the post-All-Star break slate is now set in pencil, with the ever-present possibility of more postponements and rescheduling if necessary.
Still, we now know when teams will be playing and who they’ll be playing for the rest of the season, and from a national perspective, that means a glance at the new national TV schedule. TNT has 31 games, and their full slate can be found here, while ESPN and ABC pick up 39 games plus whatever games are added to their schedule for the final week of the season. The Lakers play three times on ABC, while the Nets have two games on the network TV window. The Warriors, Nets, and Celtics each have seven ESPN appearances plus one ABC game, with the Lakers adding six ESPN games. The Knicks also pick up six ESPN games, as the national TV slate seems thrilled to have a relevant squad in the Garden again. The full ABC and ESPN schedules can be found below.
