Spreads Matter Less in the Playoffs

Spreads Matter Less in the Playoffs

RJ Bell and the Straight Outta Vegas Crew take a look at an interesting trend so far in the NBA Playoffs. The straight up winners in every NBA game this postseason are 28-1-1 against the spread and the only non cover was by a 0.5-point. Further, if you blindly bet the favorite in the playoffs over the last 4 years, you'd be 115-73-1 ATS (61%). RJ theorizes teams are thinking of the games as a 7-game series and motivations are playing a big role. At a certain point in the game, losing teams will waive the white flag and look a head to the next game which allows the winners to more often cover the spread.
