• Play: Denver Nuggets (Game 549) • Key advantage for the Nuggets: • 8-2 SU / 9-1 ATS after a double-digit loss, including 5-1 SU / 6-0 ATS against non-conference opponents; and 4-1 SU / 5-0 ATS on the road • 8-3 SU / 8-2-1 ATS with double revenge within the same season, including 4-0 ATS away • Key disadvantage for the Thunder: • 2-11 ATS in last thirteen games versus teams with same-season double revenge, including 0-6 SU / ATS versus teams with a .588 or higher win percentage • Conclusion: With the Nuggets coming off their worst loss of the season—a 39-point blowout—and having double revenge within the same season, and the Thunder coming off their fourth win this season over the Warriors on Saturday, we recommend a strong 3-unit play on Denver. Thank you, and good luck as always. |

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. |
