The NBA officially unveiled the schedule last week. It featured all the usual hallmarks of the league year, from enticing contests on opening night to intriguing games on Christmas Day.
As a big market team, the odds were always high that the New York Knicks would pop up on national television from time-to-time. Despite their recent struggles (and the potential absence of Kristaps Porzingis for the year), people want to see the team play, whether to cheer them on or mock them mercilessly.
New York will play on national television five times this season.
