The picks are denoted with (<500 vs >500) when the play is on a team with a SU losing (sub-500) record opposing a team with a SU winning (500 or better) record. Over the last few years, my NBA pointspread record on SU losing teams opposing SU winning teams has been very inconsistent. Last year it was good, but the two previous years and this year have been only poor to fair. Given the fact that winning teams typically have better pointspread records than losing teams, a solid rule for handicappers and bettors to follow is to pass on plays when an NBA losing team opposes a winning team. Therefore, I will post plays that feature a losing team playing a winning team but it will be marked as such and my advice is to avoid the play unless there is other compelling information to warrant the play. There will be an upcoming article on this subject.
