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.
For this selection, we're keeping it simple.
This without a doubt sets up as a classic "letdown" spot for the visitors, who just finished ending Golden State's 54 game regular season home win streak with a 109-106 stunner on Friday night. And with two whole days off before facing the 28-47 Pelicans at home, it's not too hard to imagine the Celtics "looking past" LA today as well. Note that five of the first seven teams to beat Golden State would then go on to lose their next game. LA has had a few days off after upsetting the Heat and the Nick Young and Jordan D'Angelo fiasco has finally started to die down. The Lakers would beat the Celtics 112-104 on December 30 and while we won't be so bold as to call for an outright upset tonight, we do think this one sets up beautfilly for the home side. Grab as many points as you can.
