NBA has the same sort of issue as MLB as well.
Over the last few years, I remember saying this at SBR and probably heere too, the NBA has been more about capping the probability players will play as much as it is capping the games.
You never when a player will rest or play and the NBA, a few years ago, came up with a term for it: Load Management.
Load Management is corkscrew in the traditional capping process.
