In line with the upcoming 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend, we are expecting a unique Week 16 in Fantasy Basketball since it’s going to be a compressed schedule from February 10th to 23rd.
Here are the Top Things you need to know about Week 16:
- All of the NBA teams will play either 5 or 4 games this week but there are notable days that are either jampacked or dry:
Feb 10, Mon – 10 Games
Feb 12, Wed – 15 Games
Feb 19, Wed – 1 Game
Feb 23, Sun – 10 Games
- Must See Matchups for this week are:

CHA, CLE, DAL, GSW, LAL, MEM, MIA, MIL, MIN, NOP, NYK,OKC, ORL, PHX, SAS, UTA
- The rest of the league will play 4 games
- Among the teams with 5 games, The LA Lakers probably have the best schedule since they are one of the two teams that will play in the 1 Game Day for this week. Plus, they will face 3 bottom teams most of the week which should allow their new franchise player – Luka Doncic to adjust with the team before their rivalry game against Denver towards the end of their schedule.
