Are there key numbers in the NBA?

[Matty21]

I understand the value of 3 or 7 in the NFL, so is there a similar thing in the NBA? Like what is the most common margin of victory/defeat in basketball?

My personal key number is 6. Below 6 I usually take ML.

Not really 1/2 point is worth about 8 cents on sides.

you could make an argument on how the final minute of alot of 6 to 8 point leads go.. i.e. the losing team is trying to win the game, NOT cover the spread..... so i'd think something like 7 points would be a common loss, BUT that is nothing like football where you have limited number of scores and most of it revolving around 7 and 3 point scores.

so i'd think something like 7 points would be a common loss

Maybe you're on to something.
