Do you guys know of anything that has been written about how often NBA games go to overtime based on the line? I'd assume a 0 point game would go to overtime more often than a 10 point game, but I can't find anything that has been written about this.

I would be surprised if you could find that info, but I think it's pretty obvious that a closely matched game (point spread a few points either way) would be more likely to go to overtime than a mis-match.

If I had to guess I would guess maybe 5% of games go to overtime.
