It’s been a long time coming, but the NBA Board of Governors has finally enforced rules for teams to not rest healthy players. For fans of teams not positioned in the upper tier buying tickets to witness top end stars has been like purchasing a lottery ticket.

Teams like the Cleveland, Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs regularly opt to rest stars in these games.
Long time coming:
The worst part of this equation is when LeBron James, Kevin Durant or Kawhi Leonard extend this practice to road games.
