One of the tools our handicappers use to make sure they end up on the right side of the lines is to break down the matchups of all the day’s games. They like to compare how each team stacks up against one another in terms of strengths and weaknesses. Some teams are great outside shooters and if they are playing a team with poor perimeter defense they can put up a lot of 3-pointers. Other teams are full of bigs and dominate the paint. How are you going to know if you don’t take a deep look into the numbers? You can also take a look at rebounding edges, turnovers, steals, FT% and more.
Don’t forget to be on the look for any pertinent trends posted on the game, as well as how the two teams have done playing each other in the past. Recent game activity is also important, not just how well they have done straight up and against the spread but take a look at how many games they have played in how many days. Rested teams perform at a higher level than ones that are fatigued. As you can see, there are many ways to use the matchups listed below, or you can give yourself a great chance of winning by signing up for the picks offered by our experts.
