How to read this schedule
- Rest is full days off before the game; 0 means the second night of a back-to-back.
- Travel is the great-circle distance from the previous game's arena.
- Edge is the expected change in win probability from rest and travel alone (Schedule Edge prior: a team on a back-to-back against a rested opponent has won about 41% of the time over four seasons).
