As we have proven, the so-called NBA zigzag theory is a virtual wash. It is above .500 long-term but a slight loss with the juice. However, various bounce back angles, which take several other factors into consideration, do win long-term.

We have quite a few, most overlapping of course, that apply here. One says it is even stronger off a blowout loss at 79-36. Another says home teams unless they are a huge underdog, are 145-94 off a blowout loss.
