How this works
Games come from the 2026-27 NBA regular-season schedule, refreshed daily. Weeks follow Yahoo’s fantasy basketball calendar, and days are US Eastern dates. Teams are listed from most games to fewest; ties go to the team with more light-night games.
A light night has 5 NBA games or fewer; a heavy night has 11 or more. A back-to-back is counted in the week its second game falls in.

Frequently asked questions
Which NBA teams play the most games in fantasy week 17?
ATL, CHA, DAL, IND, MEM, NYK, SAS play 5 games in Week 17 (Feb 15–28), the most of any team. The grid lists all 30 teams from most games to fewest.
Which fantasy weeks does this grid use?
Yahoo's 2026-27 fantasy basketball weeks: 23 matchup periods that run Monday to Sunday. Week 7 (Nov 30 – Dec 13) and Week 17 (Feb 15–28) each last two calendar weeks. Leagues on other sites that also run Monday to Sunday can use the same dates.
What is a light night, and why does it matter?
A light night has 5 NBA games or fewer; a heavy night has 11 or more. On a heavy night most of your roster plays and some players sit on your bench. On a light night you have open lineup spots, so a pickup who plays that night is sure to count. Teams with several light-night games are the best ones to stream from.
How are back-to-backs counted?
A back-to-back is two games on consecutive days. The grid marks both games, and a week counts the sets whose second game falls inside it, because the second night is the one a star is most likely to rest.
Why are some December games missing?
30 regular-season games are not scheduled yet: the NBA sets each team's last two December games after the NBA Cup group stage. The open dates are Dec 4 to Dec 11. Counts for that stretch will rise once they are announced.
