From looking at NBA data, I found that travel distance is negligible. Altitude is probably a factor and I need to look into that. Denver and Utah both had a HCA significantly better than normal.DSMok1 wrote:Do you think the sample size is large enough that these numbers have stabilized?Eternal wrote:Yep, 1.0167/0.9835 = 1.034.
The Utah Jazz have an enormous advantage over other teams.

Utah has large travel distances for basically all opponents, and is at an altitude advantage. Denver should be similar.
