Rebanse Fam! Kamusta?! Week 3 of the 2025-26 NBA season is here, and it’s like the league hit the turbo button – injuries are flying left and right, breakout stars are popping off, and the NBA Cup group stage is turning every Friday into a must-watch frenzy. We’re talking Nov 3 to Nov 9, a stretch packed with 9-11 games on the heavy days (shoutout to those wild Mondays and Fridays), but sneaky light Tuesdays and Thursdays that could leave your bench collecting dust. If your squad’s feeling the early-season blues, we’ve got the scoop on good matchups to exploit, waiver wire bandits ready to steal wins.
4 GAMES:
BOS, BKN, DAL, DEN, DET, GSW, HOU, IND, LAC, MEM, MIA, MIL, MIN, OKC, PHI, SAC, WAS
3 GAMES:
ATL, CHI, CLE, LAL, NOP, NYK, ORL, PHX, POR, SAS, TOR, UTA
2 GAMES:
CHA
There are 17 teams that will play four games this week. In terms of matchups, the Pistons have the best one since they will go up against MEM, UTA, BKN, and PHI. This could be a big week for Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren owners. We can also expect Ausar to get things going. On the flip side, the Kings have the toughest matchups this week as they play DEN, GSW, OKC, and MIN. There’s a good chance that LaVine and Russell Westbrook, who got some steam from last week, will slow down.
In terms of number of games and considering possible streams, The Clippers are the only ones that will have a pseudo B2B match on Tue and Thu ( you can also add PHX but they only get 3 games overall), While Charlotte is the lone Team that will only play 2 games this week plus their 2nd game fell on an 11 game day schedule – making them the obvious worst schedule for Week 3
There are a lot of B2B games on Fri-Sat this week (14 B2Bs), ensure to check your slots and strategize your transactions to gain an advantage. Joel Embiid might just play 2 games this week despite having a 4-game schedule since Philly got two B2B games starting Tuesday. The Pelicans have one B2B game to start the week, so Zion might also just play 2 games.
