PSP's Data Driven 5* Pistons v. Nets NBA *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 Brooklyn Nets as a home favorite against Detroit on Saturday night. The Pistons are one of the worst teams we've seen in years and only 2-26 straight up for the season. The fact that the Nets are playing on back-to-back nights and still priced as almost a double-digit favorite says it all.

Supporting trends: The Nets are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 home games and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
