Regular-season games only. Weeks run Monday to Sunday, as Yahoo and ESPN fantasy weeks do; the first starts on opening night. ●² is the second night of a back-to-back. A light night (shaded) is one with 7 games or fewer, when at most half the league plays. Postponed games are left out until they are rescheduled.
