NBA ratings across games on TNT and ESPN over opening week were up 13% from a year ago. The average of 2.57 million viewers was the highest three-night average the NBA has seen since 2017.

Despite Opening Night viewership being down 16% from last year, the next two nights were up. ESPN on Wednesday saw an 80% bump, while TNT on Thursday saw an 18% bump over a year ago.

All six nationally televised games have seen at least two million viewers. That's the longest streak to start a season in nearly a decade.
