This is a 10* EAST-COAST EXPRESS on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

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 strong/relevant ATS stats and common sense:

As note that Indiana is just 12-23 ATS In its last 35 when playing on back-to-back days (enters off a very satisfying 101-83 victory at home over Sacramento last night) and only 6-8 ATS in its last 14 after allowing 85 points or less, while Cleveland is 2-1 ATS in its last three after three or more consecutive losses.

The bottom line: After three straight losses, including to the Knicks at home, this has become a "do or die" game for the Cavs. Indiana has looked better than expected, but we think it folds up shop early against what will be an extremely motivated LeBron James and company. Lay the points, play on CLEVELAND.
