PSP Data Driven 1* Raptors.
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 favorite. Toronto is 8-4 SU in its last 12 games. Toronto is 11-1 SU in its last 12 games against an opponent in the Central Division.
Jim Feist
Atlanta is at home and faces a Nets team that has been inconsistent offensively. The Hawks’ scoring depth and ability to push pace make them dangerous in this matchup, especially with Brooklyn’s tendency to go cold for long stretches. Atlanta’s home-court edge makes them the play.
Jim's Free Play: 554. Atlanta Hawks (12:40 PT / 3:40 ET)

*Free Play Under* The Phoenix Suns have serious injury problems now. They are going to have to rely on their defense to keep them in games. Phoenix is down Booker and Brooks. The Suns have slowed the pace down the last couple games, and they are likely to slow it down even more now. The Blazers are a bit banged up too. This projects as a sloppy game. Take the under.
Ray Monohan
Cavs -3
Cleveland is worth a free move. The Cavs with James Harden have looked like a new team. They haven’t lost since acquiring him and they are rolling on both sides of the floor. This is a statement game and they’ll come out against an OKC team that continues to try and get healthy. Cleveland will go up against a team without SGA and Jalen Williams, along with a few other guys out. This is a perfect spot for Cleveland. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Sunday's FREE selection is a strong lean on the CAVS -3. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Sean Murphy
Sunday NBA Free play. My selection is on Brooklyn plus the points over Atlanta at 3:40 pm et on Sunday.
The Nets have come out of the All-Star break with back-to-back losses in Cleveland and Oklahoma City to open this three-game road trip. They'll look to salvage the finale on Sunday in Atlanta and I think they're catching the Hawks at the right time. Atlanta is a team we like to pick our spots with. The Hawks figure to be in a foul mood off Friday's blowout loss at home against the Heat, but I think they might have a difficult time geting up for the Nets. Note that Atlanta has been held to 43 or fewer made field goals in five straight games. Brooklyn has held six straight and 10 of its last 12 opponents to 45 or fewer made field goals. As much as the Nets are looking forward to a return home where they'll open a two-game homestand on Tuesday against Dallas, I don't think we'll see them roll over in this spot. Take Brooklyn (8*).
Nick Parsons
This is a FREE PLAY on the Lakers.
Boston rolled over Golden State by a score of 121-110 in its most recent outing, but I think it'll have its hands full tonight with the hungry Lakers.
LA plays with the added incentive of revenge hee as well following a 126-105 loss at Boston back in December.
While I believe the outright win is the most likely outcome for the LAKERS, my official call will be to grab as many points as you can; consider LA.
Good luck, NP
