What is the metric to determine home court advantage now that only a few attend games?

I don't gamble and have never bet, so I really don't know how this works under normal circumstances. So, I thought I'd just ask.

There isn't any

A good coach can turn any game into a home game.
Few coaches have been talking about this

Basketball is an energy game. This leaves a lot to chance this year...

But some teams create energy that is usually there like Iowa. Their energy comes from Garza.

Home court is usually worth about 3-4 points over a neutral court. Let’s use 4.

So if Georgia and Tennessee are even, it would be a pickem on a neutral court. Georgia 4 point favorites at home. Georgia 4 point underdogs on the road.

If Indiana is a 5 point underdog to Tennessee on a neutral court, they’d be a 9 point underdog on the road and 1 point underdog at home.


Without crowds That 3-4 point home over neutral advantage probably drops to 1-2. There is still an advantage of familiar rims, sight lines, locker rooms, routine, etc. I’m not sure if something is tracking this, it’d just be my guess.


So now Tennessee and Georgia are even, Tennessee is a 2 point favorite at home and 2 point underdog on the road.


Huge caveats apply, but this is the basic principle.

I was halfway through it and just decided to ask Hail and be done with it.
