NBA Teams Average 14.4 Back-To-Backs In 2025/26

August 15, 2025 by Hoops Rumors

Five NBA teams will play a league-high 16 back-to-back sets during the 2025/26 regular season, while six clubs will have just 13 instances of back-to-back games on their schedules. The remaining 19 teams will play either 14 or 15 back-to-backs.

Those totals – along with an overall average of 14.4 back-to-backs per team – are about what we’ve come to expect in recent years.

Prior to the COVID-shortened seasons of 2019/20 and ’20/21, the NBA’s regular season consisted of 177 days, and the league had made a concerted effort to reduce instances of back-to-backs. When the league announced its initial schedule in ’19/20, its press release boasted that teams were averaging a record-low 12.4 back-to-backs that season, marking the fifth straight year in which that number had reached an all-time low.

However, since 2021/22, NBA regular seasons have spanned just 174 days, making it a little more difficult for schedule-makers to avoid back-to-back sets. The average number of back-to-backs per team is still well below where it once was (teams averaged 19.3 in 2024/25), but it’s no longer at a record low.

Here are the back-to-backs by team in 2025/26:

  1. Charlotte Hornets: 16
    Denver Nuggets: 16
    Philadelphia 76ers: 16
    Phoenix Suns: 16
    Washington Wizards: 16
  2. Golden State Warriors: 15
    Los Angeles Clippers: 15
    Miami Heat: 15
    New Orleans Pelicans: 15
    Portland Trail Blazers: 15
    Toronto Raptors: 15
    Utah Jazz: 15
  3. Brooklyn Nets: 14
    Cleveland Cavaliers: 14
    Dallas Mavericks: 14
    Detroit Pistons: 14
    Houston Rockets: 14
    Los Angeles Lakers: 14
    Memphis Grizzlies: 14
    Milwaukee Bucks: 14
    New York Knicks: 14
    Orlando Magic: 14
    Sacramento Kings: 14
    San Antonio Spurs: 14
