I understand if you need to take a rest, but I could use your cheese powers!     Im definitey done wagering in these playoffs, Im up a fairly decent amount. However, I will continue to post plays moving forward for people like you, but will not use any of these plays toward my record on covers. Im offically done.    We have an NBA Playoff Strategy #1 in play tonight ( post #45) Thunder -6 (-124) Hammer

Handicapp both teams last 3-4 games home / away stats ie PF -% / 3pt% etc, Compute a predicted score using the high /low method with the road teams last 4 road games.This is done by taking the higest score and the lowest score on the offense in that 4 game road series and eliminate them. Then take the other 2 offensive scores add them together and divided by 2. That will give you an educated guess on the average score of how the team has performed recently on the road called a " Recent Form Model" Perform the same calculation with that teams defense. To tighten things up, use last 3 games as well. Both queries should basically be the same.    Use the same method to calculate the home teams average offense and defensive scoring. Once you have the average offense and defensive scoring of both clubs. Take the road teams offense and add the home teams defense and subtract 100 ( which is the theoretically the average score of an NBA team) Thats the road teams predicted score on offense. Use the same method with the home team. This will give you a margin of victory and a prediction on the winner and the loser and can be used to base your line on. Of course this not fool proof, but what else what do we have to go by other than what has actually taken place..    We also use Massey ratings to calculate road teams and home teams last 3-4 opponents ratings ( recent form), then compute an average on that which is another story. This will give you the caliber of competition in Team A's and Team B's 3-4 recent road or home games which ever the case may be
