This is a 10* play on the Portland Trail 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 ATS stats and common sense:

As note that despite their recent surge, the Wolves are still only 4-6 ATS on the road, while Portland is still 8-5 ATS at home despite it's recent slide.

The bottom line: Whether CJ McCollum plays or not, we like the "hungrier" BLAZERS to find a way to get the job done here finally.
