Welcome to Week 9 (December 15–21, 2025), Rebanse Fam! Coming off the Emirates NBA Cup Tournament, it’s going to be another weird week of the season. It’s a light slate schedule, with most actions heavily loaded toward the back half. Only three teams boast a precious four-game week: the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, and Toronto Raptors. Then there are 13 teams stuck on just two games, volume is king so prioritize starting as many players as possible from those four-game squads even if it means benching bigger names on lighter schedules.
Week 9: (December 15 – 21)
- 4 Games:
- HOU, TOR, MIA
- 3 Games:
- ATL, BOS, CHI, DAL, DEN, DET, LAC, MEM, MIN, NYK, SAC, SAS, UTA, WAS
- 2 Game:
- BKN, CHA, CLE, GSW, IND, LAL, MIL, NOP, OKC, ORL, PHI, PHX, POR
All three Teams with 4 Games have a mixed bag, but the Rockets will play against 2 bottom teams, namely: The Pelicans and the Kings, so their schedule is slightly better despite playing all of their games away from Houston.
Among all of the teams with 3 games, the Bulls and the Wolves got some advantage in streaming since both of them play in majority of the light days (Wed, Fri, and Sun). Grizzlies, on the other hand, is the only team that has 2 games in the first 3 days.
Miami, OKC, San Antonio, and Philly have B2B games this week, so watch out for Herro, JDub, Wemby, and Embiid if they rest for a day this week.
B2B Games:
- Thu-Fri: ATL, MIA, NYK, OKC, SAS
