It's not that simple. Teams sit their entire cast of important players all on the same day for no reason. They are throwing games and more or less losing on purpose instead of staggering rest days.

Fans pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars to go to a basketball game and they are not getting the product they paid for. Injuries are luck of the draw. Steph being a healthy scratch is one thing but Steph, Klay, Dray, Poole, Wiggins, etc all healthy scratches is fucked. Why did those fans waste $700 for that?

Everyone blames the league like they should just shorten the season but you chop off 25% of the season and players should lose 25% of their salaries as well. They will never accept it.

edited out a slightly smart aleck first sentence.

Maybe their contracts should be prorated for games played.
