My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Charlotte Hornets.

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 New York is already just 1-2 ATS this year after three or more consecutive victories. while Charlotte is 2-1 ATS in its last three after three or more consecutive losses.

The bottom line: The panic button has been smashed in Charlotte, as the Hornets come in having dropped eight of their last ten, including three straight, most recently a 93-91 setback to Portland at home. Note that Charlotte plays with revenge tonight as well after falling 118-113 to New York in early November. The Knicks on the other hand look poised for a letdown here in our opinion after three straight victories, most recently a 111-96 smash job of Carmelo Anthony and the Thunder. And with two whole nights off before a game at home against East leading Boston on Thursday, it's not too hard to envision the visitors "looking ahead" here as well. Play on CHARLOTTE.
