What??

**notsosharp** · 03-06-11, 09:29 PM

No...scoring is so frequent in the nba never know the margin of the score. There might be some kind of watered down number because of fouling at the end of close games. But nothing like the nfl 3 and the 7.

**sneak-a-peak** · 03-06-11, 09:33 PM

7

Its a big deal in the final 20 seconds.

3 possession game

under 7 and teams will still fight

over 7 and teams seem to surrender

**Smoke** · 03-06-11, 09:33 PM

The only key #'s for me is how much I'm gonna bet per game and what the line and juice is

Hope you told that guy off on skype

**FourLengthsClear** · 03-06-11, 09:36 PM

Not really.

1, of course is the opposite of a key number.

**BettingGeek** · 03-06-11, 09:37 PM

ya ... such as how many times Lebron choke with last second shot.

That really doesn't have anything to do with the line someone is betting on before gametime.

As far as key numbers, it makes no difference.

**sneak-a-peak** · 03-06-11, 09:41 PM

It does for me.

I tend to shy away from faves in the 7-9 point range.

**sneak-a-peak** · 03-06-11, 09:45 PM

Actually i dont even take a lot of faves over 6.5.

maybe sometimes but certainly not often

Not as KEY as numbers in the NFL, but the NBA does have more frequented numbers than others.

SEVEN, which I've stated for years and years.

also totals totals totals and home teams don't get blown out as much. genuine contenders playing each other.

**jjgold** · 03-07-11, 08:27 AM

2-3
and 6-8

As some others have mentioned 7 is consistently the most common MOV. Over the last 5 seasons 6.7% of matchups have ended up at that number.

**JR007** · 03-07-11, 10:35 AM

2...from what I have read...but seven is prominent...3 possessions

**Dexter** · 03-07-11, 10:56 AM

7 was always thought to be a key # since the thinking was that teams stopped fouling down 3 possiesions. i have seen that not be the case in many games, so i say NO to there being key #'s in the nba...

Unless you are the cok sucking Bucks and give up down 6 with 10 seconds left like they did last night...

**BetterBizness** · 03-07-11, 11:29 AM

40 is a key number... Looks like more of a Beat down than 39...

Like the $1.99 special...

**suicidekings** · 03-07-11, 01:45 PM

The key numbers are 1 possessions & 2 possessions as game margins down the stretch.

Am I reading the calculator wrong? For NBA, it seems to say '9' has the highest pushing frequency.
