While nobody is suggesting that NBA referees deliberately influence the outcome of a game or even a point spread, there are some trends and tendencies that make NBA referee handicapping an important subject for NBA bettors. Some refs seem to call more fouls each game. That means more free throws. If the teams involved are good free-throw teams, then maybe this game will trend OVER the total.
Some NBA refs have records against the spread that seem to suggest the road teams get more calls. Or home teams. Whatever the stat, it’s important to know who is reffing the game and more important to know his (or her) stats relative to the point spread or total. So bookmark the page to check on the NBA ref stats and we also list the daily referee assignments so you know which refs are calling which games. There are stats on every NBA referee – simply click on the name and you will have more information than you ever dreamed possible about NBA refs! Good luck this NBA season.
