Light's Out Shooting Angle

It's rare for an NBA team to shoot above 50.0% and it's one angle to utilize as a NBA sports handicapper. When checking NBA boxscores, pay attention to red-hot shooting clubs that just shoot 55.0% or more from the field. That's because there is a great chance the team will go ice-cold next time they hit the hardwood providing a good 'Go-Against' play.
Since 2012, 'Playing-Against' teams after dropping 55.0% of their shots through the iron the previous effort has produced a 188-180-5 record against the betting line (50.4%). Not overly impressive, however if we focus solely on 'Playing-Against' an un-rested favorite after dropping 55.0% of their shots the hit rate improves to 62.8% (27-16 ATS).
Although, winning 60.0% in sports handicapping is considered major success, it’s possible to improve the hit rate by 'Playing-Against' an un-rested team after a light's out shooting performance running the hardwood against a rested team. In this case, the hit rate jumps to an impressive 70.7% (29-12 ATS). Better yet, 'Play-Against' an un-rested 'FAVORITE' in the situation is a money-making 21-3 ATS (87.5%).
It’s important to remember that the rarity of the angle requires hard work but given the hit rate paying attention can pays off handsomely. It's paid off once this season already. Atlanta Hawks shot 56.2% on November 24, 2015 defeating Celtics then followed it up the next night as -3.0 point road chalk shooting just 37.8% in a loss to the Twolves.
