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 Boston has seen the total go OVER the number in three of its last four as an underdog and in two of its last three in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent, while Golden State has seen the total go OVER in six of its last nine against teams with winning records and in three of its last four at home.

The bottom line: The Warriors had lost six straight against the spread before finally prevailing 119-111 in Atlanta on Monday. They'd also seen the total go UNDER the number in five straight before that one. Adjusting to the Kevin Durant injury took a couple of games, but the team now looks to be firing on all cylinders again. A win at home against Cleveland was followed by a victory at the Lakers for Boston, but the team has now come back down to earth with back to back losses. The Celtics are also looking to avenge a 104-88 home loss to the Warriors in mid November. We're expecting each team to push the pace from start to finish and for this one to fly OVER as it comes down the stretch.
