The Week 13 fantasy basketball schedule is an interesting one, in that every day has between six and nine games. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any quirks for fantasy managers to navigate. The Lakers have the first five-game week of the season, while four teams are only playing twice during Week 13.
Add in the back-to-backs, injuries and teams looking to improve their draft lottery odds, and it’s clear that the “silly season” is not far away. In fact, is it starting up earlier than in previous years? Washington acquired Trae Young, and it’s unknown when he’ll make his first appearance in a game. And Ja Morant has been out while his name has come up in trade rumors. Here’s a look at the Week 13 schedule breakdown and some of its key storylines.

Week 13 Storylines of Note
– Week 13 is a good week to roster Lakers players.
After a poor fantasy schedule in Week 12 because they didn’t play on Saturday or Sunday, the Lakers have an excellent slate for Week 13. They’ll play five games, including Monday/Tuesday and Saturday/Sunday back-to-backs, which boosts the values of some of the team’s low-rostered players. Even if Rui Hachimura can return from his calf injury during Week 13, Jake LaRavia will be worth a look in fantasy leagues due to the back-to-backs. Marcus Smart, as enigmatic a fantasy option as he can be, also has added value because of the schedule. As for Luka Dončić and LeBron James, their workloads will be worth tracking. Do they play all five games, or will the Lakers look to give them at least one night off? The answer will have a significant impact on fantasy basketball leagues next week.
