Which teams will have the most nationally televised games during the 2014-15 NBA season?

Bleacher Report put together this great pie chart that breaks down how many times each team will be on national TV (scroll over for more info):

The Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder have the most nationally televised games, with 32 contests each.

The Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks and Orlando Magic will play the fewest nationally televised games, with two apiece.

Here is another graphic from Bleacher Report, which compares each team’s 2013-14 record to their number of nationally televised games:

As you can see, teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks will be on national television a lot (as they are every year) despite the fact that they’re coming off mediocre 2013-14 campaigns.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will play 29 nationally televised games, after winning just 33 games last year, but that’s what happens when you add LeBron James and (likely) Kevin Love in one offseason.
