The Warriors and Lakers continue to move boost NBA ratings — and so do the Raptors. Also: NASCAR overnights scored a rare uptick, and UFC on ESPN scored a big jump.

Warriors-Sixers scored a 2.8 overnight rating on ABC’s NBA Saturday Primetime over the weekend, up 22% from last year (Celtics-Rockets: 2.3) and up 115% from 2017 (Clippers-Bulls: 1.3). Those games faced competition from Duke-North Carolina in college basketball. The 2.8 overnight is the fourth-highest of the NBA season, excluding Christmas.

Overnights for Sunday’s Rockets-Celtics game were not immediately available.

On Friday, Bucks-Lakers had a 1.4 final rating and 2.10 million on ESPN — up 100% in ratings and 110% in viewership from last year (T’Wolves-Jazz: 0.7, 999K) and up 27% and 16% respectively from 2017 (Spurs-Pelicans: 1.1, 1.81M). Six of the last seven Laker games on ESPN/ABC and TNT, and nine of the last 12, have increased over last year.

Earlier Friday, Trail Blazers-Raptors had a 0.9 (+23%) and 1.41 million (+31%). Of the 12 Raptors games on ESPN/ABC and TNT that can be compared to last year, eight have increased.
