I have said for years they need to reduce the number of games. Play same conference teams 3 times, 42 games. Play out of conference teams twice, 30 games. For a total of 72 games. Schedule games Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday or Sunday. Three games a week. I figured before if you started the games the same time, it would end the same time as an 82 game schedule. Eliminate back to backs, and four games in five nights. A max three game week allows for rest and practice time.
Owners and the players association would never do this because of lost revenue and media contracts. But I think it would improve the league. I guess you could alternate games Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or Saturday to keep media rights happy.
