This must take an awful lot of complex coordination. How do they manage to do this?

Teams usually have sponsors and local TV deals to get games on specific days of the week on team might push for more games on Sunday and tuesday while others push for Thursday and Saturdays and others Monday and Friday(just mix and match).
With all those availabilities, this can open chances for teams to do road trips with multiple games and home stretches with many teams. Once those obligations are cleared, the remaining games can be scheduled to avoid too many games in a short time, not enough games in a long time and imbalance issues.
There might be 80+ games but there are about 200 days of availability to try and make it fit.
