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 on a few different factors:

As note that OKC has seen the total go UNDER in 25 of 40 on the road this year and in 23 of 33 in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent, while Houston has seen the total go UNDER in 19 of 33 against clubs with winning records and in six of its last ten in the first round of the playoffs.

The bottom line: As dynamic a scorer that Russell Westbrook is, we think that the Thunder can ill afford to get into a "track meet" with James Harden and the Rockets and expect to pull of an upset. Play the UNDER.
