Common questions
When are the fantasy basketball playoffs?
In a standard league, the last three full weeks of the NBA regular season: weeks 22, 23, 24 this season, with the championship in week 24. Leagues vary, so check your own settings before planning around this.
Which team has the best fantasy playoff schedule?
DAL, with 12 games across the three playoff weeks and 4 in the championship week itself.
Does this page cover the NBA playoffs?
No, and that is deliberate. This is the fantasy postseason, which happens during the NBA regular season in March and April. The NBA playoff bracket is not known until the regular season ends, so nobody can publish it in advance.
When should I plan for the playoff schedule?
Around the trade deadline. A player on a team with 4 games in championship week is worth materially more than an equal player with two, and most managers do not price that in until it is too late to trade.
Do game counts still change?
Yes. NBA Cup knockout fixtures are not scheduled yet, and the league occasionally reschedules postponed games, so late-season counts can move. This page recounts from the published schedule every time it loads.
