What the columns mean
- #
- Rank by the hardest stretch, 1 = the toughest run in the league. Ties share a rank.
- Worst stretch
- The dates of the team's hardest run of consecutive games — its first game to its last.
- Games
- Games in the stretch, and how many of them are on the road. Neutral floors do not count as road games.
- Opp margin
- The average point differential the stretch's opponents posted last season — unavailable until the new season's schedule analysis lands, so every row reads —.
- Avg fatigue
- The stretch's mean Fatigue Index — rest, the prior travel leg, body-clock shift, schedule density, and road games, scored 0–10 a night.
- Score
- 0–100 for the stretch, from average fatigue alone while prior-season records are unavailable, min-max normalized across every stretch in the league.
- Easiest stretch
- The same team's softest run — its score and the dates it falls on.
The extremes
The toughest stretch
The Las Vegas Aces' hardest stretch: Jul 20 – Aug 11, scoring 100.0 — 7 of the 10 on the road, a 4.2 average Fatigue Index.
The softest stretch
The Toronto Tempo's easiest stretch: Jun 22 – Jul 20, scoring 0.0 — 1 of the 10 on the road, a 0.6 average Fatigue Index.
Every run of 10 consecutive games in a team's season is one stretch. No prior-season records are published for this league yet — 2025 has no standings, so opponent strength is unknown and the opponent-margin column reads — for every team. These scores reflect schedule fatigue only: the average Fatigue Index of each stretch's 10 nights, min-max normalized across every stretch in the league into a 0–100 score. The 60% opponent strength and 40% fatigue blend returns once the new season's schedule analysis lands. Teams with fewer than 10 games on the schedule have no stretches and do not appear. The score measures schedule tax, not outcomes: it is not a prediction of how a team will play.
