NBA Short-game Matrix
The below matrix will tell you for any given "fantasy game" (date range) how many times
each nba team plays during that date range. You will find this information especially
useful when your fantasy playoff time rolls around. Load up on players that play more
often in the playoff weeks to increase your chances of winning any close games!
Note: This matrix is specific to the SignAndTrade shortgame format. In that format
fantasy games are typically 2 to 4 days in length. It allows for more games per
season and for playoffs played as a series (best 3 out of 5).
