This is an 8* TOTAL EXPRESS on the OVER between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets.

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 statistics and common sense:

As note that Golden State has seen the total go OVER the number in 14 of 24 on the road this year already and in 14 of 21 against good offensive teams which score 106 plus points per contest, while Houston has seen the total go OVER the number in 14 of 22 home games and in 11 of so following a victory by ten points or more.

The bottom line: The Warriors have rolled right through their tough road trip with four straight victories over Milwaukee, Toronto, Cleveland and Chicago. Now Golden State will look to sweep the five-game trip and to build 124-114 win over these very Rockets in early January. Houston has won four of its last five, most recently getting the better of Minnesota 116-98 in their latest action. The Rockets play with revenge and with each side pushing the pace, all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the savvy move in this contest.
