We've got an 11-game NBA slate for Wednesday night as All Star Weekend from Cleveland is finally set to kick off in a few days.

With 22 teams in action, several will be coming off their first leg of back-to-back games to close out the official end to the first half (despite playing more far more than 41 games).

For those who are new to betting on the NBA, it's important to note whether the team you're looking to wager on is in the midst of a back-to-back game; playing two games in two days. According to BetIQ, during the 2021-22 season, teams are 119-175 straight up on Game No. 2 of a back-to-back; winning 40.5% of the time. The number is better against the spread (ATS), with teams going 135-152-7 ATS, covering at a 47.1% clip.

Lastly, the total in second games of B2B's are slightly more likely to hit. OVERS in back-to-backs are 148-141-5 since the start of the year.

Here are all the teams participating in the latter portion of back-to-backs on Wednesday, complete with their matchup, odds, and total for tonight's game, the result of yesterday's game, as well as that team's win/loss, ATS record and over/under in second games of B2Bs.
