The NBA released the Warriors’ full regular season schedule along with each of their nationally televised games. Spoiler alert: there’s a lot of them.

The Warriors have become both the most beloved and most hated franchise in the NBA, which makes them a prime candidate for nationally-televised games.

The Warriors will have nearly half of their regular season games on national television this year.

There are so many marquee matchups involving Golden State that the NBA can’t help but force feed basketball’s most dominant team into their primetime games.

All of the Warriors’ games against their main Western Conference rivals, including the Rockets, Lakers, Thunder, and Spurs, will be on national TV in primetime matchups.

NBA Fans will get a healthy dose, maybe an overdose, of Golden State from January 21st through February 6th where they will play seven straight games on national television. And that’s in the middle of a stretch where the Warriors will play 10 of 12 games on national TV.

Golden State shines when the lights are brightest, and they’ll be in the center of the basketball world all season long.
