Curious Question For NBA Bettors

[Wagerallsports]

I've often wondered this but haven't done the research

Do you think NBA teams perform better on a Friday night at home with when it's the beginning of a home stand?

Meaning, it's Friday night, these guys are at home for the weekend, and they are hyped about going out on the town after the game

Very interesting. That has never crossed my mind but it makes sense.

Nah but it’s a fun theory lol

Hopefully, someone can do and SDQL query on this and generate some data.
I've lost those skills.

I would not be so quick to rule this theory out. Emotions play a big part in sports.

There is no advantage ATS wise. Obviously exact cover rates vary for each day of week since sample sizes are different but there is statistically no edge

In today’s environment, most players don’t go out on the town too many cameras and too many things can go wrong and they’re all super rich

So I compared the last 2 Friday night NBA games:

Jan 13, 2023
6-4 Road teams won.

Jan 20, 2023
6-4 Home teams won.

So I think it depends.

Usually a lot of action Friday nights

No special trends though
