The 2016-2017 NBA schedule was released yesterday, and the Rockets have a total of 13 games appearing on national television -- meaning ABC, ESPN or TNT. Only one game appears on ABC. The rest are on the other two networks.

They include games against the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers, cross-state rival San Antonio Spurs, two games each against the Golden State Super Friends and the Los Angeles Clippers, and a whopping three nationally-televised games against Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder. They also meet up with former Rocket Dwight Howard and the Atlanta Hawks.
