The increased coverage is due in part to the new NBA TV deal, which began this season. The nine-year agreement between the NBA and ESPN/ABC is worth $24 billion, making it the most expensive TV contract in sports history.

In addition to more Regular Season games, ABC will also air the 2020 NBA All-Star Game, as well as coverage of the Conference Finals and The Finals.
