Home court advantage
Someone put some stats on hoops a while ago with foul differentials home vs away, that was interesting

Joey Wright's Brisbane Bullets won the championship in Melbourne in 2007. Looking for a case of deja vu in Game 5.

1979- 2017
9 of 37 gf series won by away teams (24.324%) won by away teams.
Of those the first 7 were 1 off finals (2 of 7 or 28.57) won by away teams.
So, historically, home team has about 3 in 4 chance of winning a grand final series in the NBL.

At least if you start a thread like this provide the stats yourself. Very lazy. Do the leg work yourself and don't expect others to. Look forward to stats provided by you. Good topic though.

Nothing too new in this unless you have Bruton in a fantasy comp or you're wondering about Burston and Rychart's recoveries.
