This is an 8* play on 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. 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:
Major Injury: Brooklyn has lost the services of veteran guard Jarrett Jack, who tore an ACL as well as a meniscus on Saturday; Jack has been pivotal in the Nets taking two of three from the Celtics this season.
Revenge factor: Boston does indeed play with revenge here, the C's took the first game 120-95 at home, but have since dropped two straight to Brooklyn, including a 100-97 setback at home on Saturday.
Motivation: We definitely feel that the visitors will be the more motivated team today, they'll desperately be trying to avoid a second three-game losing streak in the last three weeks.
Strong and relevant ATS statistics: note that Boston is 10-5 ATS on the road this year, 5-3 ATS up off an upset loss as a favorite and 9-7 ATS in revenging a loss vs. an opponent, while Brooklyn is a poor 8-9 ATS in front of the home town crowd this season.
The bottom line: Revenge is a powerful motivating factor and it is one which we feel will ultimately prove to be the difference today; play on the CELTICS.
