Alright, jumping into this playoff thread with something a bit off the usual NBA court. I’ve been digging into playoff trends, and one thing stands out: home court advantage isn’t as ironclad as people think. Data from the last three postseasons shows home teams in the second round are barely hitting 55% ATS (against the spread). Road underdogs, especially those with strong defensive metrics like steals per game (top 5 league-wide), are covering at a 62% clip. Also, keep an eye on first-quarter overs in elimination games—teams come out swinging, and those lines are often too low. Anyone else noticing this or got other trends they’re tracking?
