The Cleveland Cavaliers face a challenging schedule for the 2021-22 NBA season. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of their key schedule highlights:

Limited National TV Exposure

  • 4 appearances on NBA TV
  • No games scheduled on ESPN, TNT, or ABC
  • Only potential national TV appearance would be if Collin Sexton makes the All-Star Game in Cleveland

Challenging Early Season Schedule

  • Opening games against Memphis and Atlanta
  • Early four-game West Coast road trip featuring:
    • Los Angeles Lakers
    • Los Angeles Clippers
    • Denver Nuggets
    • Phoenix Suns
  • Next Western Conference away game not until November 29 vs Dallas

Brooklyn Nets Matchups

  • Four games scheduled against the Nets:
    • November 17 (at Brooklyn)
    • November 22 (at Cleveland)
    • January 17
    • April 8
  • Notable context: Cavaliers beat the Nets twice last January
  • Brooklyn has strengthened their roster with additions like Paul Millsap and LaMarcus Aldridge

The schedule presents early challenges for the young Cavaliers team, particularly with the tough West Coast road trip early in the season. While national TV exposure is limited, the team has opportunities to prove themselves, especially in their matchups against the star-studded Brooklyn Nets.
