Lloyd: No one plays fewer back-to-backs than the Cavs this season and other scheduling quirks

While the rest debate is sure to rage on in the NBA again this season, the league quietly did the Cavs a favor in terms of scheduling and back-to-backs. Consider it payback for last year.
Cleveland’s 13 back-to-backs this season are the fewest in the league after they led the NBA last year in back-to-backs with 18. (The league average this season is 14.4.)
Furthermore, nine times last year the Cavs had to change time zones as part of their back-to-back — which again was the most of any team in the league. This year, however, the Cavs cross time zones only three times, according to data provided by the team to The Athletic.- CLICK HERE to read full story.
