The NBA released the 2012-13 regular season schedules today for all 30 teams in the league.

The Oklahoma City Thunder was treated as one of the NBA's elite with their schedule breakdown. The Thunder will appear on national television in 30 of the 82 games this season, including a 2012 Finals rematch on Christmas Day with Miami in South Beach.

The Thunder opens the season in San Antonio against the Spurs on Nov. 1 at 8:30 p.m. on TNT. OKC returns home to Chesapeake Energy Arena for the home opener the next night against Portland.

TNT and ESPN will both feature the Thunder 10 times this season, while ABC and NBA TV will have the Thunder on five times each.

While the Christmas Day showdown with the Heat will be in Miami, the Heat's return trip to OKC will take place on Valentine's Day, also on TNT.

OKC will have a season-long home stand of five games in December, from Dec. 7-Dec. 17. However, January looks to be an extremely difficult month for the Thunder. OKC will play just five home games as opposed to 11 road games, including a six-game road trip from Jan. 18-Jan. 27.

The Thunder will once again play at home on New Year's Eve, when they take on Phoenix as part of Oklahoma City's Opening Night celebration. OKC has played at home on New Year's Eve the past four seasons.

In addition to the nationally broadcast games, FOX Sports Oklahoma will carry the majority of Thunder games, while every game can be heard on the Thunder Radio Network, led by WWLS-FM (98.1) The Sports Animal.

Single-game tickets for home games during the first half of the season (through Jan. 16th) go on sale to the general public at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 2 online at thunder.nba.com.
