Q:

How does home court advantage statistically impact NBA game outcomes?

I recently lost a bet because I underestimated the impact of home court advantage in an NBA game. It got me thinking about how much playing at home really affects the outcome statistically. Can someone explain from a sports analytics perspective how significant home court advantage is in determining the results of NBA games?

How do different factors, like travel distance or crowd size, influence the magnitude of home court advantage in NBA games?

What specific metrics or statistics do analysts use to quantify home court advantage in the NBA? Are there certain teams that consistently perform better at home compared to others?
