Each NBA Team’s Luckiest Day of the Week
A new study has revealed which day of the week is statistically every team’s ‘luckiest’ day amid the start of the new NBA season. The research, conducted by iGaming experts JustGamblers, analyzed data from every result over the past five regular and post seasons (ending after 2023 finals) to find out which days each of the 30 NBA teams win the most on. The franchises’ luckiest day was then determined by their highest win percentage on each day of the week.
