Rookie NBA Question here

[rfr3sh]

Here is the scenario

I have team A to score 100 pts , team B to score 98

since team A is at home after homecourt advantage is applied the line is -5

since is 198, do I add the 3 points to the total aswell, or does it stay at 198


thanks

stays at 198

If you're trying to project a game score, add 1/2 the HCA to the home team, subtract 1/2 from the visitor. Unless you think there is a HCA impact on totals, the total stays the same.
