With the NBA restart and playoffs all taking place within a bubble at Walt Disney World, the concept of home-court advantage has essentially been thrown away.
It disproportionately affects the No. 1 seeded Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks, as the two have lost their reward for having the best records in their respective conferences during the regular season.
The league has done some things to remedy this, like virtual fans who support the designated home team and in-arena announcers giving the home team more energetic introductions. However, there is just no replacement for the real thing.
