As we have proven, the so-called NBA zigzag theory is a virtual wash. It is above .500 long-term but a slight loss with the juice. However, various bounce back angles, which take several other factors into consideration, do win long-term.

We have a few, but one that says when they are coming off a loss as a favorite and not extremely rested are 151-94. Another that has to do with the oddsmakers telling us the significantly better team is off a loss, including preseason is 566-440.
