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 on a few different factors:

As note that Golden State has seen the total go OVER the number in two of its last three against teams with a losing record, while Houston has seen the total go OVER in ten of 13 against the Pacific division this season and in six of ten after scoring 130 points or more.

The bottom line: How can you be the highest scoring team in the league, yet come into this game having played to ten straight UNDERs? Golden State is the highest scoring team in the NBA, but since Kevin Durant went down with injury, the focus has shifted slightly from full on "run-and-gun," to a bit more emphasis put onto the defense side of the ball. But after some growing pains with their leading scorer sitting, the Warriors have looked a lot better of late having won seven straight. Houston is firing on all cylinders right now, most recently coming off an impressive 137-125 win over the Thunder on Sunday. We're expecting a wide-open affair and for this total to fly OVER as it comes down the stretch.
