This morning, the NBA announced the officiating crew for Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Who will be officiating Game 6 of the NBA Finals?
According to NBA.com, Game 6 will be officiated by Zach Zarba, Tony Brothers and David Guthrie.
These are the following positions for each referee:
- Zach Zarba - Crew Chief
- Tony Brothers - Referee
- David Guthrie - Umpire
- Tyler Ford - Alternate
Zarba has officated eight games this postseason as a crew cheif, where the home team has won five out of eight games.
There's on average 228.4 PPG between both teams in games Zarba is the crew chief for, and 40 fouls per game.
Tony Brothers has reffed every game this postseason as a Crew Chief (14 games), but will be a regular referee in this contest.
The home team has a 64.3% winning percentage in games refereed by Brothers.
In these games, the home team's point differential is a +10.3. There are only 39.6 fouls per game in contests that Brothers has officiated this postseason, which is once again on the lower end compared to other officials in the playoffs.
David Guthrie has officiated nine games as a crew member this postseason, with the home team winning six out of the nine games.
Among the stats this postseason from the three refs officiating tonight's game, Indiana should have a slight advantage as the home team if the game is officiated as it has been in the past.
