I'm guaranteed to make the playoffs, but if I win my last game I move from 4 seed to 3 seed, and the opponent I'm playing moves from 3 seed to 4 seed. Is it worth it to play crunch time the last game of the season before playoffs? Will my players be tired for the playoff match? I have a chance to beat the 1 seed, but I'd rather not face them first round.
I could either rest the next 2 games for a fresh match against the 1 seed, or crunch time the last game to try and get the 3rd seed.
