This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION 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 primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics and common sense:
As note that Minnesota is already just 8-13 ATS in non-conference games this year, only 7-8 ATS after scoring 115 points or more and 0-1 ATS when playing with three or more days of rest, while Cleveland is 6-5 ATS as an underdog this season.
The bottom line: The Cavs lost to the Wolves 127-99 back on January 8th and they come in off another poor effort just last night, falling 116-98 in Orlando (after having an 8-point half-time lead.) All the talk in the NBA right now is about how disastrous the Cavs are playing and clearly it would be hard to argue that the team doesn't have major issues right now. We simply feel that despite all of its issues, Cleveland hasn't forgotten how to play basketball. King James is still probably the best player on the planet. The Wolves have chemistry, but they come in complacent after B2B wins in our opinion. And with a game at Cleveland up next, it's not too hard to imagine the visitors getting caught looking ahead as well. While an outright upset is obviously not out of the question, we're going to grab the points in the end. Play on the CAVALIERS.
