NBA Days rest

[rfr3sh]

According to my database there is no difference between 2 days and 1 day rest can anyone confirm this for me?

If your database also has games with 0 days rest then I can confirm this.

[rfr3sh]

yes it does too, thanks

How are you studying this because I just saw a study that indicated that 1 day rest is better than 2 days rest?

[rfr3sh]

Where is the study...and its just based of a collection of results from my database

The SonicCentral link isn't working for me at the moment. Hope this isn't the same thing, "The Role of Rest in the NBA Home Court Advantage."

For what it's worth, in the data in my database, I've found that having two days off is one point better than having one day off, but that 3+ days off is slightly worse than one day off. So based on my data I subtract two points for a team with one day of rest vs. a team with 0 days rest, and three points for a team with two days of rest. I take it the OP's data was for some reason different?

The problem with all these studies is that they all come to slightly different conclusions. That's makes it close to impossible to build any of this into a model with a high degree of confidence.

There are so many studies with so many theories
