This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the Portland Trailblazers.
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/relevant ATS statistics and common sense:
As note that Portland is already 3-2 ATS this year in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent (and that includes going 2-0 ATS in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent), while Brooklyn is just 1-2 ATS this year following a loss by ten points or more (just lost 119-109 at Cleveland.)
The bottom line: The Blazers do indeed play with revenge this afternoon after the Nets beat them 101-97 back on November 10th in Portland. With a tough Western road swing starting in Memphis on Sunday, we think the home side has another letdown here. Off the embarrassing 101-81 loss in Philadelphia last time out and with an extremely tough game in Washington tomorrow night, we expect the revenge-minded BLAZERS to risk life and limb to secure the victory today. Lay the points.
