In 2002 I created a base spreadsheet which I still use today.
It breaks down results for each team in a 3x4 slate.
0 days rest
1 day rest
2+ days rest
Then each of those is broken down to reflect
Away following an Away
Home following an Away
Home following a Home
Away following a Home
Most teams play better on 2 days than 1 and 1 day than none.
But that's SU wins.
ATS wins vary by team, as do Totals results
Usually, a team will have three or four spots in the above 12 categories where they play much better than their standard (or worse).
I try to catch a team in a Preferred Spot matched against a team in a Bad Spot.
I've also broken down 3rdin4 nights and 4thin5.
The leaguewide results for those two are pretty stable, but each team varies.
Of interest lately is that a number of slightly below average teams W/L-wise do quite well ATS when playing 3rdin4.

Another scheduling role I've started tracking is the "Sandwich" home or away game, which is a single game Home or Away,
Finding some interesting numbers there. For example, Minnesota has been about a 45% winning percentage past three seasons, but are 21-6 in Sandwich Home games during same stretch.
Other categories I've got listed but have not fully researched are
1) Games following a 20+ pt win
San Antonio in this role is 1-17 ATS graded at -9 so tonight I got a pretty easy winner when they were hosting Bucks at -9.5 and their (Spurs) coming off a 35 pt win Saturday night.
2) Games following a 20+ pt loss
3) Games following a Road win in-division
etc
