Week 22 in fantasy basketball is semifinal week for many standard leagues. Injuries and unusual rotations are affecting teams with postseason ambitions. Cleveland is struggling without three starters, including Donovan Mitchell, and is trying to hold onto third place in the Eastern Conference.

Four games are played by 18 teams in Week 22, while Pistons, Pacers, Suns, and Trail Blazers lose value in fantasy leagues after Friday. 19 teams end Week 22 with games on Friday and Sunday, possibly affecting player availability due to injury management days. Jake LaRavia and Scotty Pippen Jr. might be key players for fantasy managers in Championship Week with the Grizzlies facing injuries.
