2024-25 Fantasy Basketball Week 19 Schedule Breakdown

[ad_1]

For many fantasy managers, the playoffs begin during Week 19. Numerous teams have seemingly chosen their path for the rest of the season, whether that’s to go all-out for a playoff spot or begin resting proven veterans to prioritize their younger players’ development. That will make for an interesting playoff week, as some “unfamiliar” names will have added importance. Here’s a look at the Week 19 schedule breakdown.

Week 19 Games Played

5 Games: BKN

4 Games: ATL, BOS, CHA, DAL, DEN, HOU, IND, LAC, LAL, MEM, MIA, MIL, OKC, ORL, PHI, PHO, SAS, TOR, UTA, WAS

3 Games: CHI, CLE, DET, GSW, MIN, NOR, NYK, POR, SAC

Tuesday and Thursday are the light game days of Week 19, with four games scheduled for the former and five for the latter. The Nets, Pistons, Bucks, Pelicans and Wizards are active on both days, making them worthy of a look for potential low-rostered value. Also of note is that seven teams active on either of those days will also be navigating a back-to-back. The Clippers are one of those seven, as they’ll play road games against the Pelicans (Tuesday) and Heat (Wednesday). That likely limits Kawhi Leonard to three games during Week 19, while Norman Powell and Derrick Jones Jr. head into the week…
