Why is there only one game tonight?

This actually is not a rare occurrence in the NBA, but one that I, too, have never been able to figure out with 100% certainty. My only guess is that there must have been some random scheduling issue in Detroit that resulted in the game being scheduled today. I wonder if they block off certain days and only keep those available for "last minute" additions if a game can't be squeezed in on another day when there are other games that are being played. And this was just one of those days, and this game was just one of those games.
I'd imagine it's the opposite, where barring a holiday or like this year no game on election day, they'd always want to have at least one game every day.
But I have no clue.

They’ve surrendered Thursdays to the NFL and it’s maddening.
Edit to add - Stein reported this shift last year.
I thought I remembered hearing that they were going to try to balance games more among all days of the week, but as far as I can tell that hasn’t happened — Tuesdays and especially Thursdays are always light.

Yeah, I was super confused when TNT was doing their games on Tuesday nights. I assume this will switch back to Thursday once NFL season ends.

yeh he is a sieve on defense but at least he is coming around a bit on the offensive end.

The NBA app, after calling Keegan “Bradley” in his debut came up with this cover photo of Tatum
Hawks decided that their team was going to be built around a core of Trae Young, John Collins and DeAndre Hunter. Tonight they played without all three, but still beat Denver.
Tatum looked human tonight, and that's all it took for Miami to pull off the upset.

Lakers are 7-2 and one of those losses was a buzzer beater. Not the best opponents but looks like they have turned it around. If they stay healthy they are a threat.
Nets look like they are on the move too.

Yeah, I was noticing this yesterday as well. The key for the Lakers is AD. When he’s healthy and engaged they can be good. But we all know sooner or later “street clothes” will come back.
Why is the NBA throwing away the first Finals rematch of the season on a Saturday eight days before Christmas?

Trae young chose to sit out this last game after an altercation with Coach Nate according to Shams. Yowza
One of my draft Luka nightmares is that it saves Vlade's job but we somehow still wind up with coach Walton.
That feels even worse than just him busting here and being treated like Boogie was because of his hot headedness.
Obviously there's no scenario where we are better off not drafting him but I really do like where we are now. And I have strong doubts that Luka wins a chip in Dallas, he will leave and win within 2-3 seasons though. I feel good about that.
There are days when I can't believe that I've lived long enough to see people naming their sons after Penny Hardaway.
