Play Type: Premium | ||
Play: Denver Nuggets (Game 540) Edges for the Nuggets: 5-0 ATS in the playoffs after scoring fewer than 88 points when facing a division opponent 4-0 ATS with same-season revenge from a loss of 40-plus points versus a foe coming off a win Edges against the Timberwolves: 4-8 SU/ATS when coming off a postseason win of 7-plus points, including 0-4 SU/ATS if they held the opponent to fewer than 82 points in the win Conclusion: We cement the call with this from our powerful database as it notes that NBA playoff favorites in Game Seven of a series, coming off an ATS loss of 22 or more points in Game Six, are 4-0 SU and 3-0-1 ATS since 1992 when facing a No. 3 or lower seed. With the Nuggets looking to avenge a 115-70 loss at Minnesota on Thursday, we recommend a strong 4-star play on Denver. We wish you the best of luck today and thank you for your continued support. |

In addition to being on the faculty at Sports Data University, Marc writes a weekly NFL column for the USA TODAY Sports Weekly, and has authored hundreds of articles on the art and science of sports handicapping. He publishes the PLAYBOOK Football Preview Guide magazine and the weekly PLAYBOOK newsletter during the football and basketball seasons. In his over 40 years as a professional sports handicapper Marc has won over 500 documented Top 10 handicapping achievement awards, more than anyone in the nation. He hosts the Marc Lawrence Against The Spread podcast. Marc won the 2005 STARDUST INVITATIONAL Football Contest and is a two-time WISE GUYS CONTEST champion. Thanks to his powerful sports database, Marc's technical approach to sports handicapping strongly adheres to the theory of 'cause and effect' that the farther back you can look the farther forward you can see. Applying these findings to statistical and fundamental matchups makes for a solid handicap, and by applying 'value' to the handicap we learn become winners. And winning, in the long run, is what handicapping all about. |
