While we are primarily a situationally based handicapping service, we don't prescribe to any one single 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 a bunch of 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. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. 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 on a few different factors:

Revenge: One month after playing the longest game in four years, the Bulls are back to avenge that 147-144 four OT setback.

Classic letdown spot: Detroit became just the NBA's fourth team to beat the Warriors in Saturday's 113-95 effort.

Motivation: After a season-best six-game win streak, the Bulls have lost four of their last five. This is an ultra-important stretch for the Bulls, who open a stretch with ten of 12 on the road, where they've dropped six of their last nine.

ATS statistics: Note that Chicago is 2-1 ATS already this year in revenging a home loss vs. an opponent and 26-14 ATS in the same position over the last three, while Detroit is just 4-6 ATS this season after a win by ten points or more and just 20-24 ATS in the same position over the last three.

The bottom line: We think the home side comes in a bit complacent and the hungry BULLS find a way to get the job done at the end of the night.
