<strong>NBA</strong> <strong>Schedule</strong>/<strong>Log</strong><br />
There are 300 team trends in the next section – ten for each<br />
of the thirty <strong>NBA</strong> teams. Each trend is perfect and each is<br />
of the ATS variety. The first five trends for each team are<br />
Play-ON trends and the second grouping of five trends are Play-<br />
AGAINST trends.<br />
The trends are presented in three columns. The first is the trend<br />
ID. This allows the trend to be referenced. For example, ATL005<br />
in Atlanta’s trend number five.<br />
The second column gives the English text of the trend. For example,<br />
“The Hawks are 9-0 ATS (+8.7 ppg) since March 01, 2009<br />
off a win that broke at least a three-game losing streak.” Note that<br />
the number in parentheses immediately following the record is the<br />
average margin by which a team has covered or failed to cover the<br />
spread. Here, the Hawks are 9-0 ATS, covering by an average of<br />
8.7 points per game.<br />
The last column contains the Sports Data Query Language<br />
(SDQL) text that can be used to see the updated results for the<br />
trend anytime, Simply enter the SDQL text into the query box<br />
THE TEAm TRENDS<br />
on-line and click the query button run the query.<br />
SDQL text boxes are available and SportsDataBase.com, Killer-<br />
Sports.com and as well as others sports information websites. No<br />
membership or registration is needed and there is no charge to run<br />
a query. It’s similar to Google. If you can Google, you can SDQL.<br />
A complete list of which of the 300 trends are active on a particular<br />
day will be available on-line. That’s right, very early each<br />
morning, after the results from the previous day are entered into<br />
the database, the 300 trends will be automatically run and a list of<br />
which ones apply to the games that day will be available. You will<br />
be able to “click” through to the complete game listing for the trend<br />
to see if it has had any active dates already in the current season.<br />
Sometimes a 10-0 ATS trend “goes bad” because of a change in team<br />
philosophy or player personal or simply because it wasn’t a good<br />
trend to begin with. Other times the trend can reel off 5, 6 or 7<br />
straight winners. These of course, are the trends you want to follow.<br />
With a cursory knowledge of the Sports Data Query Language, you<br />
will soon be researching situations of your own choosing.<br />
