Western Conference ESPN Game of the Month

According to the highly affective Margin of Cover stat, we have one of the most underrated teams playing one of the most overrated insofar as betting markets are concerned. Golden State at +10.3 is the top MOC team in the NBA covering each of their three games by at least 8.5. They are responding very well to new coach Steve Kerr taking over for Mark Jackson. Golden State led the preseason in scoring and have shown it is no fluke. David Lee did participate in practice and should play.

The Clippers are the second worst by -8.2 or more accurately second best to fade. Best off all LA is a dichotomous spread and straight up team. This means if a team is consistently winning outright but failing to cover or losing outright and covering, we ride the spread streak. This has proven to be a way to isolate over and undervalued teams. They are 3-1 straight up yet 0-4 against the spread with that horrid MOC.
