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 Charlotte is just 12-14 ATS this year following a non-conference game and only 9-15 ATS this year against weak defensive clubs which allow 106 plus points per contest, while OKC is 25-12 ATS at home, 16-11 ATS in non-conference games and 17-12 ATS in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent.
The bottom line: Charlotte won for the sixth time in eight games in a 122-114 win over Denver at home on Friday, while OKC looks to bounce back after a 100-95 home defeat to the Spurs later that same night (after it had won seven of its previous nine). The Hornets are running out of time and we think the pressure results in a letdown here. Note that Charlotte averages 105.4 PPG and allows 104.5. The Thunder average 106.9 PPG and allow 106. OKC star Russell Westbrook is on a mission right now, needing only three more triple doubles to surpass Oscar Robertson for the most all time in that department. We're expecting Westbrook to push the pace of this one and look for the home side to comfortably pull away down the stretch for the ATS cover. Play on the THUNDER.
