Helped by better matchups and less competition, the NBA scored massive increases in viewership in week two of its season. Tuesday’s Warriors-Suns NBA regular season game averaged 2.32 million viewers on TNT, nearly doubling last year’s equivalent window (Nuggets-Jazz: ~1.2M) and the most-watched game of the young season outside of Opening Night. Ratings were not immediately available. The Mavericks-Pelicans lead-in was also up double-digits to a 1.0 and 1.61 million.
