This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Hawks.

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 Atlanta is already 6-4 ATS this year in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent (fell 110-99 to Boston at home in mid November) and 7-4 ATS in its last 11 after allowing 115 points or more in its previous outing (fell 123-110 in Charlotte, the Hawks fourth loss in their last five games), while Boston is just 1-2 ATS this year after allowing 85 points or less (note that the C's come in off back-to-back wins, most recently a 103-73 thrashing of the Knicks.)

The bottom line: ATL is dealing with injuries, but with two nights off to prepare for this one, we expect the hungry visitors to lay everything on the line and to keep this one much competitive than what Las Vegas is trying to lead us to believe. Grab the points, play on ATLANTA.
