Noticing Trends With Bench Points?

[NeedALiving]

Lately when i have been watching games, they would show each teams bench points. From what it seems like, the team with the more bench points is the team that wins. I dont know if anyone else takes this into account, i just thought it was interesting.

Anyone know a site which actually tells you each teams bench points?

Seems very overlooked.

Problem is... we never know what bench players are going to get in.

Yeah, completely true. You can probably assume by seeing the sixth man with the most time, something to that affect. Im new to capping as you can see.

Go to team websites and look at scoring by game and by average and you can determine how many bench points a team gets.

A team like Morehead State who has 4 double figure scores and averages in the low 70s and their starters average 50 something per game, you can figure they are getting abou 15 points a night of the bench.

If you want a exact number go through each game's box score and you can get an exact count.



I just read your 2nd post in this thread, so I had to remove my smart ass comment.

Question for you, what stats do you look at when comparing teams?

haha, and i normally look at:

• The Bodog Smart Chart thing, where it has the arrows with all of the teams averages
  
• The Recent Games the teams played against each other, who won, by how much, where
  
• Then I guess each team's streak for momentum.

I really dont know what else to look at.

I look at 4 primary stats.

Turnovers per game
Free Throw Percentage
Defensive FG % and Defensive 3 PT FG%.
Number of Offensive rebounds yielded per game.

Rebounds can be a misleading stat, if the other team makes more shots than you, you aren't generally going to get more rebounds. However, the number of offensive rebounds a team gives up can be telling stat. Offensive rebounds generally create easier scoring chances and open 3 point shot opportunities.

Turnovers per game is very important, as it limits the number of opportunities you get, if you can't hang on to the ball and about 50% of turnovers lead to run out situations for easy buckets.

FT%- Games are won and lost at the foul line, particularly betting.

Defensive FGA%, if teams high yield a %, then you know they aren't playing defense.

Those seem like much better things look at. Makes a lot of sense. Where do you normally get these stats?
