This is a 1* Free Play on the UNDER between the Warriors/Cavs.

The first two games of this series have gone OVER the number, but we feel that the conditions for Game 3 point to the UNDER as the correct call. 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 trends and common sense. Clearly the Cavs will be risking life and limb getting into shooting and passing lanes tonight as they look to avoid the dreaded 0-3 hole. Cleveland can clearly ill afford to turn this one into a "track meet" and expect to hang with the sharp-shooting Warriors. So with the home side indeed doubling down on the defensive end, we're definitely expecting a slower pace overall to this one. Also note that Golden State has seen the total go UNDER the number in 12 of 20 already this year when playing with two or more days rest, while Cleveland has seen the total go UNDER in four of seven already this year when trailing in a playoff series. Consider the UNDER in Game 3.
