Rest vs rust

Teams on 5+ days rest (Heat) facing a team on 3 days rest or less (Celtics) in Game 1 of a series are 31-20 ATS in the @Bet_Labs database.

In the 2nd round or later, it's 28-16 ATS.

not an endorsement, just info.

Spoelstra is the best coach ATS for 2nd halves all time in the playoffs. 

98-71-4

Maybe Celtics early, Heat late?

Miami is 11-9 SU (5-14-1 ATS) with a rest advantage this season. Their ATS record in this situation is the worst in the NBA . Boston is 13-6 SU (12-7 ATS) with a rest disadvantage. Their SU record in this situation is the best in the NBA.

Also just info that another user posted here. 

This really sometimes makes you wonder, with so many ATS variations, like this ATS is great for BOS, but this ATS is great for HEAT. So many ATS that you sometimes wonder, which one you will follow? Or, do you even follow it at all? I wonder if oddsmakers really even look at ATS records. They are all over the place anyway. Maybe, just maybe, ATS never really mattered. It's just really mere luck if you win or not. 

If we are posting useful information then I will add this from my thread...

You have to go all the way back to the 2020 Playoffs to find one game where a team coming off a game 7 wins and covers (usually lose outright actually) in game one of the following series. With Boston going 7 I will give the trend follow to the Heat. Ironically in the 2020 Playoffs this scenario happened three times and only once did it not come through (Houston beat Lakers (as a road underdog) after going 7 in the Semis). 

sports isn’t real. It’s all rigged and pre determined.

just hope you picked right. 

@Beanerweaner

 excatly right? lol. There are some that are worth looking at like James Harden history of not showing up on big games especially game 7s. That one, no ATS needed, you just know this guy is a no show. STuff like that maybe is what just really matters. Not ATS.
