Understanding NBA Pace in Betting

Pace measures how many possessions a team uses per 48 minutes. High-pace teams like the Pacers play faster, leading to more scoring opportunities for both teams. Low-pace teams like the Knicks grind games out, resulting in lower totals.

Key Metrics

  • Pace: Possessions per 48 minutes. League average is around 99-100.
  • Offensive Rating: Points scored per 100 possessions. Elite teams exceed 118.
  • Defensive Rating: Points allowed per 100 possessions. Elite defenses are below 110.

Betting Strategy

When two high-pace teams meet, the game total is often higher than average. When mismatched pace teams play, the slower team typically controls the tempo. This calculator helps you find value when the Vegas total doesn't fully account for pace differentials.

Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be entertaining, not a way to make money. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.

Signs of problem gambling:
  • Betting more than you can afford to lose
  • Chasing losses with bigger bets
  • Lying to others about gambling habits
