This is an 8* play on the UNDER between the Houston Rockets and the LA Clippers.

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 O/U ATS statistics and common sense:

As note that Houston has seen the total go UNDER the number in four of five games already this year when playing with two days rest and in 12 of 19 overall on the road, while LA has seen the total go UNDER in six of 11 this season following a win by ten points or more.

The bottom line: James Harden is out for the Rockets and DeAndre Jordan is a question mark for the home side. A couple of key pieces sitting out in this one and when combined with these strong UNDER trends that each team has exhibited in this position, everything does indeed point to the UNDER as the savvy move in this contest.
