This is a 10* TOTAL ART OF WAR on the OVER between the LA Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks.

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 always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant O/U ATS statistics:

As note that LA has seen the total go OVER the number in nine of 13 against the Southwest Division this year and in five of eight after playing three consecutive home games, while Dallas has seen the total go OVER in two of its last three against the Pacific Division and in two of its last three after a win by ten points or more.

The bottom line: Dallas has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last nine, including in its 104-89 win over the Thunder in its last contest. The Lakers will be desperate here, they've lost seven straight and they've seen the total go UNDER the number in their last three straight. And when these teams last met on January 22nd, the total would also indeed stay UNDER in the Mavs 122-73 blowout victory. These teams have played to a bunch of UNDERS of late, but the numbers now clearly point the value the other way. Play the OVER.
