Fantasy playoffs sneak up fast, so we’re getting ahead of it.

In this episode of the Ball Logic Podcast, we break down the NBA fantasy playoff schedule (most leagues: Weeks 20-22), highlight the teams with the best and worst total games, and talk through what it means for trading, stashing, and streaming.

We cover:

• The schedule extremes: 12-game teams vs Dallas on a 9-game playoff run
• Why off-nights matter (and why some “bad schedule” teams are even worse)
• The playoff winners: Warriors, Nets, Clippers (steady 4-4-4)
• The playoff landmines: Minnesota’s 4-4-2 (two games in finals week)
• Weird slate teams like Philly (5-3-3) and Phoenix (3-5-2)
• Realistic adds, holds, and trade ideas based on volume and timing
