How Did Healthier NBA Teams Perform in Matchups This Season?

With the NBA regular season wrapped up, it's time to review how the Sports Injury Central team health scores performed this season.

Our Court Views, which we have been posting for select matchups throughout the NBA season, are meant to allow users a quick glance at a team's overall health heading into a matchup.

Examining the Court Views closer can also give users a health-based edge when selecting bets or player props, as we have highlighted in our game previews throughout the season.

One key stat that emerged from our first season doing team SIC scores came in lopsided health matchups.

Teams with a 10+ SIC-score advantage are 20-10-2 against the spread this season, including the playoffs.

Overall, the healthier side was just over 50% against the spread.

The Sports Injury Central staff will continue churning out SIC scores and Court Views for the rest of the playoffs. Please follow along on Twitter as well @SICscore for the latest injury news and analysis.
