Fading underdogs at home has been a recurring theme in our late-season NBA handicappping effort, as historically, backing road favorites to cover the spread in games 72-82 of the regular season has been highly profitable (the system has been good for a 12% return on investment (ROI) since 2005).
This approach is 17-11 ATS this season, and calls for the Grizzlies to beat the number at the Suns Saturday evening. We are betting accordingly.
A separate system on our BetLabsSports-fuelled dashboard likewise endorses a Grizz cover Saturday. Weak teams tend to cover on the road after bad losses, particularly late in the year.
Since 2005, backing traveling teams with losing records after losses of at least 15 has been good for a 2% return on investment (ROI).
Profitability swells though late in the season. In games 72-82, this system has delivered an 11% ROI over the long-term, and is 5-1 ATS this year.
Happy betting!!
