    What would happen if a star player got covid during the playoffs?

    We're done if we bet on that team, no Paul George, Davis, etc. for example?

    Going to get it

    Every games a random event and always remember that,
    No way to ever predict injuries

    "The COVID-19 game." Not as catchy as Jordan's flu game, but you work with what you have

    Should we be scared betting futures? Imagine Leonard or someone like that gets to the finals and he has COVID. He will not be eligible to play.

    Think the rules say a player must be quaratined if they get covid. This could change everything.

    If one guy in a team gets it's it it'll turn into two or three you'd think (Gobert then Mitchell an example). Futures too risky unless like Opti said take a shot on someone.

    There wont be any transparency with the testing. Some players will have it and play others will have to quarantine. Not willing to play or pay with those conditions in place. You are betting on which stars can go a few months without seeing their families and staying in their rooms the majority of the time. This is more like coronavirus survivor mixed with the Hunger games not a testament of which team is the best.

    They will probably be sitting out that day anyway for another George Floyd ceremony.

    7 day quarantine which means the team is likely done since 3-4 games will be played neaely every week.

    I thought it was two weeks quarantine. Because signing players after it starts is such a big issue. I can see them not completing this venture because of the number of cases being higher than the general population has been.

    Ive heard 7 days, 2 weeks would be very hard to do since the scheduke is condensed.

    If it's cool to play now, then it was cool to play a couple months ago. Right? If I'm wrong, let me know what the difference is. I generally like the NBA, but since they b*tched out, I'll pass on watching/paying attention.

    That’s the recommendation for normal people and the few college athletes that have reported positive before they could have an official practice.

    No value anywhere. Every sharp is touting the Celtics. The NBA by playing the 8: regular season games gave the good teams enough time to tune up. Only chance of a major upset was straight into the playoffs after a mini camp.

    This is no different than any injury stop in squares it shouldn’t change any type of betting strategy you have
