This is an 8* play on the LA Lakers.

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 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 primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that Indiana is just 1-5 ATS this year off an upset win as an underdog and only 7-9 ATS in non-conference games, while LA is 10-8 ATS in non-conference games and 3-1 ATS in its last four in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent.

The bottom line: With a much tougher game in Utah tomorrow night, it's not too hard to imagine the Pacers getting caught looking past the lowly Lakers today. Play on LA.
