I could easily see the opposite happening... coming out sluggish after a relatively long layoff, while the bulls are still in servival mode after Saturday's Game 7.

granted, I know next to nothing about nba betting lines.


Usually does not happen that way even though people always suggest a team will be "rusty". Generally, the better team at home with the extra rest comes out and destroys the visiting team coming off a game 7.

I could look for a sports betting article written about it if I wasn't at work with the work filters, but I have read analysis of it in the past.

I think Haberstroh wrote an article saying that teams with this long a rest were 9-4 at home. No idea what they are against the spread though.

I think rest/rust is just an easy reason/excuse players/people use to explain a win/loss. Usually the better team just wins. I mean the better team usually has home court so they usually win Game 1. It just makes sense.
