How to Read NCAA Basketball Injuries
When reading these college basketball injury reports, focus on the “status” of the player. This is how to identify if the player is out for the long-term, or returning to the near future. Status is also what gets updated most.
“Notes” gives more information on the player’s injury. “Position” may be significant, depending on the team’s make-up. A team depleted from a position like center may be tough to bet on confidently.
How Does an Injury Impact My Betting?
NCAA basketball injuries impact all forms of college betting, from the point spreads, to the moneyline, to the totals. Great college basketball players are few and far between, and most teams only have one or two “star” players. Missing one can impact the team’s performance significantly.
Before betting on any game, keep checking on the injury reports. You have until the opening tip to bet on a game. After that, live betting may be available.
The report is instrumental for teams to strategize about player participation, including decisions on resting players or including them in the game despite existing injuries. It also aids coaches in devising game plans and verifying players’ fitness levels prior to competitions.
