PSP's Data Driven 5* Spurs v. Celtics Big Bet Banger Total *BEST BET*

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 under when Boston hosts the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday night. The Celtics have the third-best scoring defense in the NBA, and their games against teams with losing records tend to go under. The Spurs have a 22-15-2 record to the over for the season but the under is 5-1-2 in Spurs last 8 overall.

Supporting trends: Under is 4-1 in Celtics last 5 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 10-4 in Spurs last 14 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
