With the all-star break now completed, the NBA will begin the remainder of its 2011-12 season on Tuesday night. Philadelphia, Chicago and Miami lead their respective divisions in the Eastern Conference, while San Antonio, Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Clippers top the divisions of the Western Conference.

The NBA all-star break began after Thursday night’s games, with the NBA All-Star Game scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 26 in Orlando (7:30 PM ET; TNT-TV).
