This is a 10* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Sacramento Kings.
We don't subscribe to any one single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions, are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.
This particular play is based on a few different factors:
"The Brain" stays: There were reports that coach George Karl was on his way out of Sacramento, but GM Vlade Divac has given him a second chance and with one last opportunity to secure a win after eight losses out of their last nine, we look for the "The Brain" and his team to rise to the occasion.
Revenge: The hungry Kings will be eager to atone for a particularly low-spot of their season when they fell 110-105 to the 76ers at home on December 30th.
DeMarcus Cousins: Keep your eyes on the big man, he's averaging 31.0 points and 17.3 boards in his last three vs. Philadelphia.
ATS statistics: Note that Sacramento is 5-3 ATS this year after three or more consecutive losses and 4-3 ATS after playing three consecutive road games, while Philadelphia is a horrible 11-13 ATS at home this season and only 2-3 ATS this year as a home dog of 3.5 to six points.
The bottom line: We think a motivated and highly focused KINGS team finally comes to play a full four quarters and comfortably pulls away down the stretch for the ATS cover.
