Phoenix Suns – Winner
While the average number of back-to-backs has been reduced to just under 18 for each team, the Suns were lucky enough to have only 14 instances (tied with Minnesota for the league-low).
Phoenix will spend majority of February in Arizona, as their longest homestand (7 games) also has the all-star break in the middle of it. Similar to Detroit, Phoenix gets rid of the longest road trip early (Nov. 29 – Dec. 7).
Their only 4-games-in-5-nights stretch is actually a tale of two years, with tough road games to end 2015 (Dec. 30 @Spurs & 31 @OKC), then easier trips in California to kick off 2016 (Jan. 2 @Kings & 3 @Lakers).
