The Rockets are finally getting the attention they deserve. Next season, they will have the second-most national TV games in the NBA. They will appear 40 times out of their 82 games on the big stage.
The team in front of them, of course, is the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors led this category last season, too, while the Rockets were not even in the top 10. After one season of major improvement (and one all-star) later, the Rockets are one of the most popular teams in the league again.
28 of the nationally televised games will be on the main 3 channels: TNT, ESPN and ABC.
