This is a 10* TOTAL ART OF WAR on the OVER between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the LA Lakers.

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 OKC has seen the total go OVER the number in three of its last four trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent (lost 108-104 to LA at home just last week), while the Lakers have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of 11 already this season following a divisional contest and in 15 of 27 in front of the home town crowd.

The bottom line: OKC broke a four game slide with a resounding 125-105 win at Golden State and will clearly be looking to keep the momentum rolling here and to avenge the loss to the lowly Lakers. LA on the other hand won't just be rolling over. LA comes in as one of the hottest teams in the league after winning seven of its last ten, including two straight. When you add it all up, this number is indeed a little low. Play the OVER.
