*30 STAR* FRIDAY NIGHT TOTALS REPORT (BREAK OUT THE BROOMS DESTRUCTION PASS!)
(NBA) New York vs. Miami,
Total: 208.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the OVER between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat.

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 New York has seen the total go OVER the number in 13 of 20 this year in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent, while Miami has seen the total go OVER in six of ten this season after playing three consecutive road games.

The bottom line: These teams met on Wednesday night in New York and the Heat rolled to a 105-88 victory. The Knicks average 104.8 PPG and allow 108.4. The Heat average 102.8 PPG and allow 101.8. We like Miami to push the pace of this one from the outset and while their last game against each other may have gone UNDER, the numbers and the situation both point to a higher-scoring affair this evening. Play the OVER.
