2024-25 Fantasy Basketball Week 12 Schedule Breakdown

[ad_1]

By the end of Week 12, some NBA teams will have reached the actual halfway point of their seasons. And, at least on paper, there should be a lot of action, as 28 of 30 teams will play three or four games. The two exceptions are Charlotte and Utah, who only play twice.

Week 12 Games Played

4 Games: BKN, CHI, DEN, HOU, LAC, LAL, MIA, MIL, MIN, OKC, PHI, POR, SAS, WAS

3 Games: ATL, BOS, CLE, DAL, DET, HSW, IND, MEM, NOR, NYK, ORL, PHO, SAC, TOR

2 Games: CHA, UTA
