This is an 8* play on the UNDER between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs.
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:
Tough defensive play: Both teams enter on big win streaks and each is playing very well defensively. The Knicks swept a home and home set over the Hawks and then beat the Heat 98-90 in Miami on Wednesday. New York has been playing better offensively in those victories, but note that it had scored just 93.5 per game and shot 44.2 percent while dropping five of its previous six.
And now the Knicks face the league's best defensive unit which is 21-0 at home and which leads the NBA with an 89.5 defensive field-goal percentage.
Recent history: If recent history is any precedence, then we should absolutely expect a lower-scoring affair here, these two met in New York on November 2nd and the Spurs would pull away for an impressive 94-84 win.
Kawhi Leonard: The reigning Defensive Player Of The Year has played shutdown ball vs. Knicks star Carmello Anthony, he held him to 19 points on 4 of 17 shooting in November.
The bottom line: In our professional opinion there are enough significant factors that all point to the UNDER as the savvy move in this contest.
