The NBA is averaging 1.55 million viewers on games televised by TNT and ESPN this season, which is up 29 percent against the 20-21 season and up eight percent against the 19-20 season.
The NBA and TNT agreed to move their typical Thursday doubleheader to Tuesdays this year in order to avoid competing against the NFL's Thursday Night Football.
Tuesday's coverage on TNT of the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets followed by the Golden State Warriors at the Phoenix Suns was the most-viewed TNT regular season doubleheader since December 19, 2019.
