2023-2024 NBA Playoffs Game Log

Let’s fast forward to this year’s NBA Playoffs. Tonight, Scott Foster is the crew chief for Game 6 between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers. The 76ers are at home tonight, looking to force a Game 7 in this series. Foster has officiated five games thus far in Round 1. Below is the playoff game log this postseason in which Scott Foster has officiated games:

  • Game 1: Philadelphia 76ers @ New York Knicks (-4.5): 111-104 Knicks W
  • Game 2: Los Angeles Lakers @ Denver Nuggets (-7.5): 101-99 Nuggets W
  • Game 3: Cleveland Cavaliers @ Orlando Magic (-2.5): 121-83 Magic W
  • Game 4: Minnesota Timberwolves @ Phoenix Suns (-1.5): 122-116 Suns L
  • Game 5: Indiana Pacers @ Milwaukee Bucks (+5.5): 115-92 Bucks W

Thus far this postseason, the home team is 4-1 SU and 3-2 ATS. The only team that did not win their home game was the Phoenix Suns in Game 4, where they were outscored 32-24 in the fourth quarter to lose and get swept!

As I mentioned above, Foster is the crew chief tonight in Philadelphia. All of this could be a coincidence, BUT I believe the league would want nothing more than at least one Game 7 on the schedule. My money will be on the 76ers tonight on the money line to get the job done!
