Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the OVER between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Atlanta Hawks

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 O/U ATS statistics:

As note that Cleveland has seen the total go OVER in six of 11 this year in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent and in 15 of 26 against clubs with winning records, while Atlanta has seen the total go OVER in eight of 11 against the Central division and in two of its last three against teams with winning records.

The bottom line: Both teams have been playing to a lot of UNDERS of late, but these strong trends now point to what should be a much higher-scoring affair this evening. Play the OVER.
