2025-26 NBA Rest & Travel Splits

2025-26 · Final regular-season games

The travel board counts the schedule tax; this one counts what it bought. Every team's record and average point differential in a given situation, next to the gap from that same team's season baseline — so a road-heavy team isn't punished twice. Read how the travel data is calculated.

−1.7League avg margin

Across all games, every point one team scores is a point another concedes, so the league's baseline margin is exactly 0.0. That makes the figure above the leaguewide effect itself: −1.7 points per game for the team in this situation. Individual teams swing far harder in both directions — that spread is the board below.

Average margin is team points minus opponent points, over final regular-season games only; ties are impossible in basketball, so every game lands in a win or a loss column. Conditions overlap — a back-to-back can also be a long-travel game. Teams with fewer than five games in a situation are listed but left unranked, since a two-game sample says nothing. These are descriptive splits, not causal estimates: they do not adjust for opponent strength, injuries, or home court.
