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 under when Minnesota hosts the Portland Trail Blazers Friday night. The Blazers have been held to fewer than 100 points in four of their last five games and the Wolves boast the best scoring defense in the NBA.

Supporting trends: Under is 7-1 in Timberwolves last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Under is 11-5 in Trail Blazers last 16 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
