Usually when one team has 0 days rest , so does the opponent (not always though). Maybe he scores more because the opponent is tired.
He may have the biggest advantage of any other star player when he's facing a team on a b2b/or road trip when there's been very little practice time or time to prepare in general because of how unique he is. I don't have time to look into it, but I know his latest Utah ~40-12-5-6-4 game was a b2b for both teams and obviously last night's game was too.
Here you go: 3P% - FG% - 3PA 0 Days Rest: .420 - .470 - 14 1 Days Rest: .347 - . 436 - 14 2 Days Rest: .412 - .433 - 13.1 3+ Days Rest: .286 - .423 - 9.8 He also dishes out more assists and grabs more rebounds with 0 day rest. Crazy dude.
Jesus, he has higher stats because he is more efficient with 0 days rest and he plays 2 min. more. 3+ days off is his kryptonite
I think on back to backs, he has no time for the strip club. This is the reason he is better. A lot more energy
So are you guys saying that Harden should practice abstinence during the season? Maybe Morey should sneak that clause into the contract.
