We don't subscribe to any 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 numerous 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. 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 primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that the Lakers are 10-6 ATS in their last 16 following a loss by ten points or more, while the Clippers are just 5-8 ATS after a non-conference game and just 5-7 ATS this season after three or more consecutive SU wins.

The bottom line: With Oklahoma City on deck on Monday, it's not too hard to imagine the Clippers getting caught "looking ahead" to that one. Grab the points, play on the LAKERS.
