Nets games on YES Network are "off to their best start in eight seasons," as local viewership for the games is up 38% compared to the '19 season through 14 telecasts, according to Tony Maglio of THE WRAP. The games are averaging 69,000 viewers in the N.Y. designated market area, which is up from 50,000 in '19. None of those numbers "count the big Nets game in primetime on Christmas Day," a road win over the Lakers. The Nets currently have the best record (23-9) in the Eastern Conference (THEWRAP.com, 12/27).
