NBA Fantasy Schedule Analyzer
Games per week is the single biggest volume lever in NBA fantasy. A player on a team with 4 games this week is worth far more than an identical player with 2 games. Use the Grid to spot 4-game weeks, the Week view to rank streaming targets — both updated daily from the live schedule.

The games-per-week grid, and how it is built
Games per week is the primary signal. Unlike the NFL (one game per team per week), NBA teams play between 0 and 4 games per week. A player on a 4-game team this week provides up to twice the counting stats of a player on a 2-game team. This tool makes that asymmetry visible at a glance.
Grid view. All 30 teams across the next six Monday–Sunday windows. Each cell shows the team's game count, color-coded by volume: 4 games (strong), 3 (good), 2 (weak), 1 (avoid). Toggle "Show matchup quality" to overlay an E / A / T indicator for the opponents that week.
Week view. Select a week from the dropdown to see all teams ranked by Schedule Score:
Schedule Score = games_count + (matchup_ease_pct ÷ 100) × 0.5
The 0.5 cap means matchup quality can only break ties — a team with 3 games and perfect opponents (3.5) never outranks a team with 4 games and tough opponents (4.0). Games count is always the primary signal.
Matchup ease. For each game a team plays in the week, the opponent's average fantasy points allowed (averaged across guards, forwards, and centers from nba_matchup_ratings) is retrieved. The mean of those values is normalized to a 0–100 percentile rank across all (team, week) cells. Easy (≥ 67th pct) / Avg / Tough (< 33rd pct).
Data. Schedule from ESPN, updated daily by the ETL. Matchup ratings computed by the RankFantasy ETL from season-to-date box scores. Page revalidates hourly. Weeks are Monday–Sunday (UTC).
