2024-25 Fantasy Basketball Week 17 Schedule Breakdown

[ad_1]

Now that the All-Star break is in the rearview mirror, the trade deadline is the next significant date for most fantasy leagues. In Yahoo! public leagues, Thursday, March 6, is the default trade deadline, meaning Week 17 will be the final full week of games before that date. And some significant availability issues will impact how managers craft their rosters in preparation for the fantasy playoffs. San Antonio lost Victor Wembanyama for the rest of the season, and Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid has looked like a shell of himself coming out of the All-Star break.

The Spurs will play four games during Week 17, with two back-to-backs. And the competition won’t be easy, either. After Tuesday’s game in New Orleans, the Spurs play against Houston (Wednesday), Memphis (Saturday), and Oklahoma City (Sunday). That Saturday/Sunday back-to-back makes San Antonio a team worth watching for managers needing production to win their weekly matchups.

– The Hawks are the only team whose Week 17 schedule concludes on Friday.

Twenty-nine of the league’s 30 teams, except Atlanta, will play on Saturday or Sunday during Week 17. Not only do the Hawks end their week with a home game against the Thunder on Friday, but they only play three games during Week…
