Been diving deep into NBA stats lately, and I’m starting to see patterns that help with predicting game scores over a season. One thing I’ve found useful is focusing on team pace and defensive efficiency, especially for tight games. For example, teams with strong rim protection tend to keep scores lower, so I lean toward under bets when they face high-volume shooters. Tracking player fatigue and back-to-back games also gives an edge—starters resting can shift totals by a few points. Anyone else got a go-to metric for nailing score predictions long-term?
