Home court advantage used to be an insanely large factor. I remember in the first few season I was playing this game, the team who was home won the game, no questions asked, but it seems that nowadays it's fixed. As for matchups and enthusiasm, I think entusiasm is a pretty big factor (not saying too big, but it does play a large role), and the newly created matchups along with the help line defense(it used to be no matter what the pg was guarding the pg, sg on the sg, and so on for every scoring opportunity posted in the live view), can change the outcome of a game.
