Here are the stats according to @grok.

No, home-field (or home-court) advantage isn't "dead," but data shows it's weaker than it used to be—especially in the NBA playoffs and Finals recently, and modestly so in MLB postseason play.

The social media chatter (including the 2026 NBA Finals and the 2025 MLB World Series) highlights real trends and high-profile examples where home teams have struggled or been swept in key spots, but historical numbers still favor the home side overall.

NBA Finals / Playoffs Context

The current discussion seems tied to the 2026 NBA Finals (New York Knicks vs. San Antonio Spurs). The Knicks entered with home-court advantage (better regular-season record) and led 2-0 after winning Games 1 and 2 on the road in San Antonio. The Spurs then won Game 3 at Madison Square Garden (115-111), making it the first time a road team won the first three games of the Finals since 1993. As of early June 2026, the Knicks lead the series 2-1, but every game so far has been won by the road team.

This fits a broader 2026 postseason trend: Home teams are just 26-24 (.520) overall in the playoffs—the worst home winning percentage since 1981.

Longer-term NBA data:
Regular season: Home teams historically win ~62% of games. But the 2020s have been rough—four of the last five seasons saw home win percentages in the .540s (this season was .544, one of the worst in nearly 80 years of league history).

NBA Finals series:
Teams with home-court advantage have won the championship 56 of 77 times (~73%) when excluding the neutral-site 2020 bubble.

Game 1 of the Finals: Home teams win ~76.6% of the time (59/77).

Game 7 of the Finals: Home teams are 15-4 (.789).

In short: The edge is still real historically (especially for winning the series or closing out Game 7s), but it's shrunk noticeably in the 2020s and looks particularly shaky right now in the 2026 playoffs/Finals.

@BarstoolGruden This looks like a must watch.

Do you think the hockey guys are tougher that NFL guys? (I already know the hockey guys have much better mouth pieces.)

[GregCity @GregCity]

@OhioTate @StoolAfterDark Fair. One of the smarter/healthier things he has done

[GregCity @GregCity]

Max looks awful and has only 1 strike after 3 inning. My blood is boiling and I don't understand what is wrong. Everything matched up.

🔥 COMMUNITY PLAY OF THE DAY ⚾

What’s up? We took a quick day off, but we still hopped on the stream and went through the board. Grok and I found one we’re BOTH really fired up about today. I'm putting it in the air, we are going on a 10 game win steak this time!

Why this is the best strikeout prop on the board:

👉D-backs Max Meyer is dealing right now

👉 He’s averaging more than 6 strikeouts every time
he pitches this season.

👉 In his last 5 starts he’s gone 9-8-7-6-6.

👉 He’s cleared 5.5 Ks in 7 of his last 8 outings… and
just threw 7 in his most recent one.

This line feels way too low for how hot he’s been.

🔒LOCK IT IN and let’s cash this one together!

[GregCity @GregCity]

@TrustTheData @DKSports @propsdotcash I like this one. I'm in.

[GregCity @GregCity]

Max gave up a homerun in the first inning and has zero strikeouts. This is not good

Come on Max!

@barstoolsports At the end of the day, if he bets on himself he’s probably betting the under, so why do other teams care?

We need the judge to set these Universities straight.
