*Home 1+ Playoff Favorites are ATS:148-96-4 (2.16, 60.7%) off of a no cover loss (not Monday).
**Home Playoffs Favorites between -4 and -7.5 revenging a no cover road loss are SU:30-4 (9.21, 88.2%) ATS:25-9-0 (3.66, 73.5%) as long as it is just a one game losing streak. The Spurs lost 87-97 as small road favorites last in the get-away spot; however, won 102-92 as 2 point road dogs at Golden State the game before.
It seems that in the short history of matchups between the Spurs and the Warriors, as far as spread is concerned, each team is regressing after a game of negative DPS and positive or marginal DPA. DPS and DPA are explained well here https://groups.google.
Usually I won’t base a play too heavily on the theory of due unless the public is against my team, and right now Joe Public doesn’t want any part of San Antonio putting over 70% of their bets both on the point spread and the moneyline for the road dog!
