NBA Betting News: Referee Assignments

Long before the Tim Donaghy scandal, handicapping games based on referees and umpires was commonplace. Handicappers continue to find trends and tendencies based on who is officiating, especially in the NBA where a ref who loves to call lots of fouls can impact the final score. Ditto one who likes to keep his whistle in his pocket.

This is not to say he (or she) is biased, just that their style may give some hints as to how the game will play out and this is primarily useful information for NBA over/under bettors. Each day we'll list the NBA referee assignments below, and you can also check out the complete NBA referee statistics which includes a breakdown of the number of fouls called on the home teams and the away teams by an individual referee.
