March looks tough too. So, December and March are going to be key months on the schedule. If the team is healthy and playing well during those months and avoid losing a bunch of games during those stretches, they should be is good shape to get 50+ wins again.
Pacers only have 5 nationally televised games. You have to assume the NBA trimmed that number down due to PG's injury. This probably helped contribute to Portland's total of 16 nationally televised games.
