Working Paper: Individual Player Value Using Point Spreads
With Adam Hoffer
Abstract: This study develops a new method for converting performance statistics into marginal product using Las Vegas sportsbooks’ individual point spread values for NBA and NFL players. The paper employs a Cragg’s (1971) double hurdle model to explain what factors determine whether an individual player moves the point spread and then for players that move the point spread, the relative weight of those factors.
