AAA's 10* FRIDAY NIGHT TOTAL "ART OF WAR!" (<<< THIS IS MASSIVE!)
(NBA) New York vs. Toronto,
Total: 217.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOTAL ART OF WAR on the UNDER between the New York Knicks and the Toronto Raptors.

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 primarily on strong/relative O/U ATS statistics:

As note that New York has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of six already this year against good offensive teams which average 106 plus points per game, while Toronto has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of eight this year against good offensive teams which average 106 plus points per contest and in five of eight following a non-conference game (also in two of three after allowing 115 points or more.)

The bottom line: This sets up as a natural letdown spot for the Raptors after three straight on the road, including back-to-back wins over the Rockets and Pelicans. The Knicks have been alternating wins and losses over their last five games, but after three straight in front of the home town crowd, New York could also be caught flat footed in this road contest. When you add it all up, this number is indeed a little high. Play the UNDER.
