This is an 8* play on the UNDER between the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics.
While we are primarily a situationally based handicapping service, we don't prescribe to any one single 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 a bunch of 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. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions, are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.
This particular play is based on a few different factors:
Back to the basics: After a fantastic start to the season, the Celtics have fallen on hard times, their once stalwart defensive play has disappeared. Through December 30th though, only Golden State and San Antonio allowed fewer points per 100 possessions than the C's (97.4): "We know we can score. It's been good to see the ball go in the hole for a lot of guys on this road trip," Celtics' forward Jae Crowder assessed last night. "But we've got to get back to our defense." Note that Boston is 19-3 when holding opponents under 100 points this season. And the same could be said for the Bulls, they're 18-2 this year when holding the opposition under 100 points.
ATS statistics: Note that Chicago has seen the total go UNDER the number in interestingly seven of eight this season when playing on a Friday night, while Boston has seen the total dip below the posted number in eight of ten vs. the Central division and in 16 of 29 vs. poor defensive teams which allow 99-plus points per contest.
The bottom line: With each side putting added emphasis on establishing itself on the defensive end of the floor, all signs do indeed point to the UNDER as the savvy move in this contest.
