This is a 10* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION 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 Houston is just 18-25 ATS in its last 43 after three or more consecutive SU victories, while Portland is 6-4 ATS in its last ten when playing on three or more days of rest.
The bottom line: Portland has lost three straight, it's going to be desperate. And with a game at Golden State on Monday night, home floor is something that it can not take for granted this evening. The Rockets are rolling, they've won nine of their last ten, including eight straight. It's hard to say anything negative against James Harden and company, so we won't bother. We simply feel that the under-achieving and desperate home side will at the very least, keep this one close enough to comfortably cover with the healthy spread it's been afforded. Play on the TRAILBLAZERS.
