Does it matter who wins the tipoff?

In the NFL some teams defer possession until the 2nd half. I've never seen NBA teams intentionally lose the tipoff

It's an extra possession so it matters...a tiny bit.

How is a extra possession? The team that dont get the tipoff will start with the ball in 2. and 3. quarter and the team that got the tipoff will have the ball in the 4. quarter.

it matters if u want that possession in the 4th quarter to start the quarter off right

sometimes you hit sometimes shot in sometimes shot out, you win, you fall then you make more and miss

Tipoff winner wins the game 71% of the time.

It doesn't but jump balls can be important so it's good practice.
