The NBA playoffs are not always easy to watch, as Amazon Prime Video, where the entire play-in tournament has been hosted by Prime Video. Almost half of the 30 games (14 of 30) are available on over-the-air TV (NBC or ABC), while nearly half are available for multiple subscription services. This is the first year of a new deal that gives national carriers exclusive rights to the first round. The dates of the “if necessary” games will come into focus as some series are extended and some end early. The Wolves and Wild are scheduled to play on the same date for five of their seven potential first-round games. The Vikings are also dealing with questions about their roster and potential roster losses.
