Overtime in the NBA is relatively rare, typically occurring when two evenly matched teams produce a deadlocked score at the end of regulation. Historically, games between teams with high offensive efficiency or stout defensive schemes are scrutinized for their potential to go into additional periods. Analysts observe player rotations, fatigue levels, and late-game tactical decisions to gauge the potential for an extended game.
Market prices reflect the collective expectation of whether regulation play will conclude with a tie, with prices rising as the perceived possibility of an overtime scenario increases.
