I don't see the 36% number.
Have seen two sources that say every game generates between $1.7 and 1.8M per night.
41 home games, 1 preseason (estimate), and an average of 3 playoff games per team across the league (worked out a playoff grid) gives you 45
45 x $1.75M = $2.45B or 49% of the $5B estimate.
And yes have seen lots of talk about having to bank back last year's end of year missed games as an example.
