This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the OVER Suns/Blazers.

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 stats and common sense:

As note that Phoenix has seen the total go OVER in 12 of its last 20 as a road dog of 12.5 points or more and in its last three following two straight losses against division rivals, while Portland has seen the total go OVER in eight of 13 as a favorite this year and in 12 of its last 20 following a road loss.

The bottom line: Both teams come in off extended losing streaks and each has a very difficult upcoming schedule. With each pushing the pace from start to finish, look for this one to fly OVER sooner, rather than later.
