Wednesday’s NBA schedule release got the juices flowing again in the midst of an otherwise lackluster offseason. Now that we’ve learned of when each matchup will fall, the season suddenly feels closer. And let’s face it, we’re all penciling in wins and losses as we run through the schedule.
Schedules aren’t just interesting because of when the key matchups might land. But the more intriguing things are the number of back-to-backs, rest days in between games, which teams have long road trips etc. A bad break in any of those areas could result in more losses than anticipated, ultimately impacting playoff seeding and championship chances.
So, look over those schedules carefully before you get the gambling itch. Once it all makes sense, get in on these NBA futures before odds start moving.
