NBA Referee Profile
Curtis Blair
Curtis Blair has worked 1,012 career NBA games, and the numbers he produces tell bettors something useful. His personal foul rate sits 0.5% below league average at 39.9 per game, and his free throw attempt rate runs 1.1% under the league mark at 45.3 per game. Both figures point in the same direction: Blair lets play run. Fewer whistles mean fewer dead-ball stoppages, which compresses variance and generally favors teams that can generate offense through the flow of the game rather than by drawing contact. His home team win rate of 55.9% runs above the typical baseline, a lean that bettors laying points on road teams should register before game time. Blair is not a dramatic outlier in any single category, but the consistency across foul rate and free throw rate confirms a referee who is not looking to intervene — and in tight spreads, that tendency carries real wagering weight.
