This is an 8* WEST-COAST EXPRESS 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 8-7 ATS this year after three or more consecutive losses and 5-4 ATS following a divisional contest (also 13-11 ATS after allowing 115 points or more in its previous outing), while Utah is just 2-4 ATS in its last six after five or more consecutive SU victories.

The bottom line: The Jazz have won ten straight and we believe they'll be caught looking past their lowly opponent here. The Suns though come off a humbling defeat to the Warriors and are just 1-11 in their last 12. No outright upset, but all signs do indeed point to the points as the savvy move in this contest. Play on Phoenix.
