NBA Trend of the Day: Tonight’s Teams in Games With a 205.5 or Higher Total

Being a shorter slate and all, I originally wanted to seek out bargains that log upwards of 28 minutes. But in compiling such a trend, I came to discover that only J.J. Redick and J.R. Smith are averaging over 28 minutes among all those priced under $6K at DraftKings.

Nixed.

Instead, let’s take a look at how all those involved in tonight’s slate have fared in a particular total (205.5, in this case, as the two highest totals of the night are coincidently equivalent).

With only three games, I’m looking to identify any large amount of data that might be advantageous. In isolating each team, we can now sort by “Avg+/-” and take into account only those who have displayed an above-average performance in numerous instances.
