Have the Lakers benefited from those in charge? The Lakers have played the fewest back-to-backs in NBA history

Consecutive games, known as "back-to-backs," have always been a controversial topic in the NBA. These matchups, involving playing on consecutive nights, are a concern for both teams and fans. Teams worry about the health of their players, while fans may feel disappointed when their favorite stars are rested during these games. Over the past decade, managing physical workload has become a common strategy to mitigate the negative effects of back-to-backs.

However, not all teams face the same challenge when it comes to scheduling these games. The Los Angeles Lakers, for instance, have benefited in this regard, having played the fewest number of back-to-backs in the league over the last 20 years, with only 336 such games. In comparison, teams like The Los Angeles Clippers have played 382, representing an average of 2.3 more games per season. The Atlanta Hawks are at the bottom, and The Golden State Warriors are in the middle of the pack.
