The Detroit Pistons will play 22 times on consecutive nights, the most back-to-backs of any team's 2014-15 NBA schedule. On Wednesday, the NBA released its complete schedule, one that includes a longer All-Star break. That means there would be more games in a less amount of time compared to past seasons.

Like this year, last year's high end of total back-to-backs was 22. The Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks found themselves on the low end with 14 back-to-backs in 2013-14, and this year there is more parity when the lowest totals were concerned.The Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers have the fewest back-to-backs this season at 16 apiece. The Pacers, Kings, Mavericks and Magic aren't in bad shape with 17 back-to-backs in 2014-15.
