This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Milwaukee Bucks.
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:
Revenge: The Bucks fell 106-101 to Washington on January 13th and will be highly motivated to avoid the season series sweep, losing the first three meetings of the year.
Momentum: Milwaukee played like a desperate team in its 112-111 win over the Celtics on Tuesday, breaking a stretch of five-straight losses. The Bucks would allow the C's to battle back from 19 down in the fourth quarter, but were able to finally find a way to pull out the victory. If the team had lost that one, we'd likely be going the other way on this selection, but with the victory, we like Milwaukee to come in focused and confident tonight.
ATS statistics: Note that Washington is just 1-3 ATS this year as a road dog of three points or less and only 13-15 ATS vs. poor defensive teams which allow 99-plus points per contest, while Milwaukee is 18-15 ATS this season in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent and 13-9 ATS in front of the home town crowd.
The bottom line: With the All-Star break looming, we think the visitors get caught looking ahead to that time off, while the hungrier BUCKS take advantage and build off their latest victory.
