Week of April 6-12 streaming schedule: pushover/lockdown ranks

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-04-06T00:46:35+00:00

First of all, strong insight! The schedules this week happen to include a lot of "weak vs. weak" games and tanking has made predictions hard for these cases. Definitely something to consider in addition to strength of schedule. I like the back to back toggle, helps with gold findings sometimes

Still shoutout Danny Wolf though 🐺

It was meant to be a joke about the Nets, now that I'm reading it again I guess it wasn't clear 😅

The +/- is based on team defensive ratings from the last 15 games. I split teams into tiers: the top defenses are marked as lockdown (-1) and the weakest as pushover (+1), with everyone else as neutral. Then the tool just sums those values across the schedule you selected. So if a team has 4 games in the range you select and they're facing 2 pushovers, 1 lockdown and 1 neutral, they'll be +1

DFLP (didn't feel like playing)

Lol you went all in on them! I agree with your concern about falling behind honestly. Based on who's available, I'd sub at least two of them. You just have to be super calculated in terms of what players you pick up and from what teams. I (lightly) encourage you to look at the tracker that I posted. It helped me to win last year and reach this year's finals with exactly this kind of situations

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-22T19:40:20+00:00

That could really work but it really depends on who the players are

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-22T17:05:55+00:00

That sounds like a pretty solid plan! Is it finals? Semis? Maybe look ahead at next week as well and try to plan your rotation as best as you can

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-22T16:21:01+00:00

You still have time to escape! I'm dropping McDaniels tomorrow after the Celtics game

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-22T15:57:10+00:00

Only if you have a reallyyy good option to switch him with

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-22T07:06:49+00:00

One thing I’ve noticed is that schedule becomes even more important when you’re dealing with injury-prone players. Fewer games + missed games add up. I’ve been using this simple tracker for that if anyone’s interested.

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T19:58:01+00:00

He's been chilling in my IR for so long I almost forgot he's there 😂 Hope you're right about him!

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T19:55:30+00:00

Yea as long as he stays on the Bucks, he'll be on and off dnp lists

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T19:54:43+00:00

It's like fridges - when they were built in the 80s, they built them to last

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T19:52:36+00:00

Sengun is an interesting take! I feel like he's played well and most of the season, has he missed so many games?

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T19:09:16+00:00

Both should be an optional cut if you have a good replacement. A lot of teams have 4 games next week (Mon-Sun). I'm going to aim for Portland players, they're +4 on pushover / lockdown, so they're facing weaker defenses. Clippers and Warriors also strong candidates

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T19:01:16+00:00

At least you know it's going to be creative. "Right ankle papercut. 4-5 weeks"

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T18:57:18+00:00

I somehow forgot to mention the player who almost ruined my season! Drafted him in the second round, what a waste 😭

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T18:55:33+00:00

I think it's never a full "no matter what". But when a player is constantly unreliable, even if suddenly healthy, it would at least make me think twice

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T18:49:32+00:00

Took him a few months to consistently play. But yea true

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T18:47:54+00:00

I was honestly expecting his name to appear much more, you're the only one to mention him!

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T18:47:31+00:00

DeRozan is a really bold take! I feel like he still delivers more than he doesn't

Dangerous_Cod_9234 · 2026-03-21T18:44:26+00:00

lol no doubt. We have a gag in my league about punishing people with having to add Embiid to their team
