Staying on top of the NFL injury report and the NBA injury report is an ongoing process, but very important when it comes to any betting strategy.
The last thing you want to happen is to place a bet online on your best NBA prediction for today, and then discover minutes before ‘game-time’, that the best three-point-shooter is out with an injury, the back-up is out with the flu, and the only remaining player eligible to play was just drafted 2 weeks ago and has experienced only a few hours of team-practice.

As a sports better you want to know who is on the injury list and take this information and apply it to your betting strategy.
Any sports bet expert that does not take the time to include Injury Report Analysis into their sports pick may fall short when giving out sport tips.
It is also recommended, as a sport better, to study sports injuries and their effects on specific player positions and also how long an injury may take to fully heal.
This type of information may prove to be most valuable when it comes to predicting the outcome of any competitive sport.
The most common injuries in competitive physical sports are:
- Strains
- Sprains
- Knee Injuries
- Fractures
- Tennis Elbow
- Plantar Fasciitis (Shin Splints)
- Back Injuries (Back Pains)
- Concussion
Injury Reports can identify the weak spots on any team, and you, as a sports better, can then target that weakness.
Determine which player is ‘questionable’, which player is on the ‘injury reserve’, which player is ‘probable’, which player is coming in as a replacement, identify the player on the other side, how does that player match up with the replacement.
Having a new player come into the game as a back up has the potential to change the dynamic of all the players on the team, and can also present the possibility to disrupt the entire teams game-day-strategy.
When you fully study the injury report of any team, both offense and defense, you just might gain the edge that you need to increase your chances at discovering your best sports picks.
