This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on the Phoenix Suns.
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 Phoenix is already 8-6 ATS this year after three or more consecutive losses and 3-2 ATS as a road dog of 12.5 points or more, while Golden State is just 3-7 ATS this season after playing three consecutive home games and only 4-6 ATS as a home fav of 12.5 points or more.
The bottom line: Phoenix plays with revenge here, as Golden State took all four meetings last year. The Suns are a mess as they come into this one having lost five straight. But we think they'll fly under the radar here and keep this one closer than expected. The Warriors have now won two straight after a two-game slide, but head coach Steve Kerr has already said that his team is "gassed," and that they can't wait to get to the All Star break. With a game at red hot Portland to finish the first half, it's not too hard to imagine the home side in some small way getting caught looking past their lowly opponent tonight to that more notable matchup. Also note that Kerr will likely elect to rest several starters tonight. While we're not calling for the outright victory, all signs point to a comfortable cover. Grab the points, play on the SUNS.
