A: What should we do on your day-off?
B: If it stops raining tonight, we will be able to play basketball in the park tomorrow.

Does this conversation make sense? How should I revise it?

A's question is strange. Why is A asking B what they should do on B's day-off? Why not ask what they should do tomorrow?

B statement doesn't answer A's question.

Because A wants to know about B's day off, not about tomorrow,
B's answer is about tomorrow, not B's day off.
 
I missed that, but tomorrow could be B's day off.

There shouldn't be a hyphen in "day off".

If tomorrow is indeed B's day off, the following dialogue would be more natural:

A: What shall we do on your day off [tomorrow]?
B: If it's not raining, let's play basketball.
