PSP's Data Driven NBA Free Pick

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind.

Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the Boston Celtics as a large home favorite against the NBA-worst Pistons on Thursday night.

Supporting trends: The Celtics are 15-6-2 ATS in their 23 wins this season, and they won eight of those games by 17 points or more. The Pistons covered the spread in a 118-112 loss to Brooklyn on Dec 26, but they are 8-21-2 ATS in their last 31 games following an ATS win.
