    Nba fatigue question

    When teams are really tired, both teams played back to back and is travelling all the way across country to play the folllowing night. What suffers more? Their ability to score or ability to defend. The under or over hits at a higher percentage?

    Would guess that the ability to score is compromised more. If your legs are tired the jump shot is tougher to make.

    The ability to play defense suffers. Playing defense is all about effort. Already incorporated into the line BTW

    Buyer beware on Celts tonight. I know the pts looks tempting but 4th gm in 5 nights and gotta be tired from shootout with GSW last night. Now a gm at Utah in that altitude. If nothing else keep an eye on that gm a 2h fade might be best scenario.

    ability to defend suffers first, especially in this era of NBA, where hard-nosed defense is practically a myth as is.

    I would also look at both teams' benches and their typical contributions and both teams' match-ups.

    Here's the thing though, the sharpest books are already factoring in these variables and if they release a soft number, then the sharpest gamblers are going to bounce on it. If you look at line movement on totals in these situations, you can get a good idea of what sharps have to say about the totals.

    Gold everything has too be taken into account when looking at a gm. Obviously Utah # is a bit inflated but it's not necessarily because you are getting the deal of a lifetime there is a reason. Lol
