PSP's Data Driven 5* 76ers v. Jazz NBA Big Bet Banger

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 Utah Jazz as a home favorite over the Philadelhia 76ers Thursday night. Joel Embiid (knee) will be sidelined, and he's not the only one hurting on this shorthanded 76ers team.

Supporting trends: Jazz are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 home games. 76ers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.
