List of every time the Thunder play against every team in 2022-23 season

Here is a list of every time the Oklahoma City Thunder match up with every one of the 29 teams in the league in the 2022-23 season.

The 2022-23 schedule for the Oklahoma City Thunder was released on Wednesday. The Thunder will play 82 games spanning from October to April.

The Thunder looks to endure another rebuilding season around the young and exciting core of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Josh Giddey and Lu Dort.

For the first time since the 2020 playoffs, the Thunder will play on national TV. The game against the Orlando Magic features the top two picks in this year’s draft: Paolo Banchero and Holmgren.

To make things easier for the fans to read the schedule, the following is a list of the dates of every matchup with the other 29 teams in the NBA going in alphabetical order:

2022-23 Houston Rockets complete schedule, broadcast information

Here’s a month-by-month look at the 2022-23 Houston Rockets season schedule, along with TV and radio broadcast information for all games.

Complete with a release video featuring players, coaches, executives, broadcasters, and beyond, the official Houston Rockets schedule for the 2022-23 NBA season is now out.

With one of the league’s youngest rosters, expectations are still fairly minimal for a club that is still relatively early in its rebuilding process. Yet, given the presence of prized young prospects like Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr., Kevin Porter Jr., and Alperen Sengun, there’s still a lot to watch for as Houston continues to grow and develop.

Scroll on for a month-by-month look at all games, opponents, tipoff times, and broadcast information for the Rockets during the 2022-23 campaign. Training camp will open in late September, followed by the start of preseason games during the first week of October.

Initial national television assignments are not finalized, so it’s possible that some games could be added or subtracted from that list at a later date, should the league’s broadcast partners choose to do so.

Every crazy 2022-23 NBA schedule reveal video, from dogs to Oregon Trail

NBA teams went all out for their 2022-23 schedule reveal videos.

The 2022-23 NBA season may not kick off for a few more months, but on Wednesday basketball fans got some long-awaited news: the official schedule release!

Every year, it seems as if more and more sports teams are going big on schedule release videos. After all, the NFL dominated the conversation the night of its 2022 schedule release back in May thanks to some incredibly creative and hilarious videos. Seriously, the Chargers’ anime schedule release video is still top tier, even months later.

As such, now NBA teams are really getting in on the fun as well with their 2022-23 schedule releases. From good dogs to Oregon Trail and every other 1990s reference in between, here’s every NBA schedule reveal video for the upcoming 2022-23 season.

With schedule release video, Rockets reveal all games in 2022-23 season

With a schedule release video featuring nearly the entire roster, the Rockets revealed the dates and times for all of their games in the NBA’s 2022-23 season. Here’s a look at the highlights.

Like all NBA teams, the Houston Rockets on Wednesday announced their complete schedule for the 2022-23 regular season. And this year, the young squad did it with some extra flair.

When the schedule dropped at 2 p.m. CDT, the Rockets announced it via a release video on social media, which featured nearly the entire roster taking on acting roles from Toyota Center and beyond. Coaches, executives and broadcasters got in on the action, as well.

It was a clever twist to what is often a mundane process. Even recently drafted rookies Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason and TyTy Washington were in on the action. Here’s a look at the team-produced video, and scroll on for the team’s official schedule announcement.

The announcement includes specific dates and tipoff times for all 2022-23 games, including four nationally televised contests.

From Rockets PR:

The Houston Rockets today announced their schedule for the 2022-23 regular season, which celebrates their 55th anniversary as an NBA franchise.

AT&T SportsNet will broadcast the entire 82 game schedule, with ESPN also showcasing the Rockets game at Sacramento on Jan. 11 and NBA TV picking up an additional three games. All games will be available on the radio broadcast home of the Houston Rockets, SportsTalk 790 KBME and NewsRadio 740 KTRH, as well as in Spanish on TUDN 93.3 FM.

Tickets for Rockets home games are available to purchase by visiting Rockets.com.

The Rockets will open the season at Atlanta on Oct. 19 before playing their home opener vs. Memphis on Oct. 21. Ten of Houston’s first 13 games will be on the road, including two four-game trips. That ties for the most road games by any team through the first 13 games of a season in NBA history.

From mid-November through Christmas, Houston will play 13 of 19 games at Toyota Center, including a four-game homestand from Nov. 18-26 and a season-high seven straight home games from Dec. 11-23. In December, the Rockets will host six of the eight teams which advanced to the conference semifinals last season, including Philadelphia on Dec. 5.

The Rockets will play eight of 12 on the road from Dec. 26 through Jan. 16, culminating with back-to-back games at the Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers. Coming off of that trip, eight of Houston’s next 11 games will be at home before playing a season-high tying five straight on the road from Feb. 10-26, broken up by NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City (Feb. 17-19).

Over a span from Feb. 28 through March 20, Houston will play 10 of 12 at Toyota Center, concluding with a six-game homestand which includes games vs. Boston, the Lakers and Golden State. The Rockets will play seven of their last 10 games on the road, including the season finale at Washington on April 9.

The Rockets have 13 sets of back-to-back games this season, including two within the first eight games and four in March.  Four of the back-to-backs feature both games at Toyota Center while four take place in different cities on the road.

Houston will play each NBA team at least once at home and once on the road this season. It will play Western Conference opponents four times (twice home and away), except for the following: the Los Angeles Lakers (2 home, 1 road), Phoenix (1 home, 2 road), Portland (1 home, 2 road) and Utah (2 home, 1 road).

As a daily breakdown, the Rockets have 16 games on Monday (9 home), five on Tuesday (4 home), 18 on Wednesday (8 home), six on Thursday (3 home), 14 on Friday (7 home), 12 on Saturday (4 home) and 11 on Sunday (6 home).

Report: Four Rockets games picked for national television in 2022-23

The NBA’s upcoming schedule release for the 2022-23 season features four Houston Rockets games to be shown on national television, per @KellyIkoNBA of The Athletic.

The NBA’s upcoming schedule release for the 2022-23 season features four nationally televised Houston Rockets games, according to The Athletic’s Kelly Iko. The complete schedule will be released Wednesday afternoon.

As a reminder, the NBA’s national TV schedule does have flexibility and can be revised. In other words, if a team overachieves or underachieves its projections (in the eyes of the league and its broadcast partners), it could have games national telecasts added or subtracted.

With the Rockets, even though there are clear young building blocks such as Jalen Green (the No. 2 pick from the first round of the 2021 NBA draft) and Jabari Smith Jr. (the No. 3 pick in 2022), the reality is Houston has had the league’s worst record in each of the past two seasons. Bad teams typically aren’t TV draws, so barring a big-name influx of elite veteran talent, which the Rockets did not have this offseason, to upgrade the roster and its short-term outlook, networks are likely to hesitate on picking up too many Rockets games until they win at a higher clip.

These are the dates and networks of Houston’s initial allotment of four nationally televised games:

  • Nov. 12, at New Orleans (NBA TV)
  • Nov. 26, vs. Oklahoma City (NBA TV)
  • Jan. 11, at Sacramento (ESPN)
  • Jan. 16, at Los Angeles Lakers (NBA TV)

The full schedule, which will include all game dates, times, and locations, will be released at 2 p.m. CDT on Wednesday.

Other games on Houston’s 82-game schedule will be televised via regional broadcast partner AT&T SportsNet Southwest and available nationally through NBA League Pass.
