Even before Saturday night's thriller against the Spurs , it's been clear that Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves are a major ratings draw for the NBA's national broadcast partners. Earlier on Saturday, they got two more national TV games added to their schedule, bringing the season-long total to 30.

The Wolves' game in Detroit against the East-leading Pistons on April 2 will now be on Prime Video at 6 p.m. CT. And the Wolves' game in Houston on April 10 has also been added to Prime Video, with a new start time of 8:30 p.m. CT. Both games will also be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network North.

SCHEDULE UPDATE: the @Timberwolves game at Detroit on 4/2 will now air on @NBAonPrime with a time change to 6 pm CT.

Also the Wolves game at Houston on 4/10 will now air on Prime with a time change to 8:30 pm CT.

Both games will still be shown locally on @FanDuelSN_NOR.

The Timberwolves came into this season with a whopping 28 national TV games spread across the league's three major broadcast partners (ESPN/ABC, NBC/Peacock, Prime Video). That was tied with Houston for the second-most in the league — which would've been unfathomable for this franchise at any time between 2004 and 2020.

Up to this point, 12 of the Wolves' 43 games (28 percent) have been televised on one of those three national platforms. But that frequency ramps up a decent bit in the second half of the season. With these two additions, 18 of the final 39 games for Minnesota (46 percent) will be available nationally.

The Wolves are just 4-8 in national TV games so far. Here's the full list.
