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 Minnesota is just 1-2 ATS in its last three after scoring 115 points or more and just 1-3 ATS in its last four after winning three or more games SU (note that the Wolves have won three straight, most recently a 115-106 victory in Phoenix), while LA is 2-1 ATS in its last three after two or more consecutive SU losses and 3-1 ATS in its last four after scoring 94 points or less in its previous contest (note that the Lakers enter off a back-to-back losses, most recently a 95-92 home setback to the Blazers.)
The bottom line: This is the final game of a three game road trip for the Wolves, a tough one no doubt having to play the late X-Mas night game. The LAKERS benefit from the home floor advantage in this situation and the numbers also support an ATS victory. Grab the points.
