Here is what the data is telling us for tonight's NBA games ⏬
Pacers @ Celtics
BET: 🔥 Celtics at the moneyline (-149)
📈 62.1% probability
DimersBOT is persisting with the Boston Celtics despite their poor showing of late, and we're going to back it. The duo of Brown and Tatum are simply too talented to keep losing, and even at odds of around -150, Celts look like good value at the moneyline against the Indiana Pacers.

Rockets @ Raptors
BET: 🔥 Houston Rockets to cover the spread
📈 52.2% probability
The second bet of the night is for the Rockets to cover the spread as underdogs as they take on the Toronto Raptors. The Rockets welcomed back Victor Oladipo from injury on Wednesday and apart from some iffy shooting, it was like he hadn't missed a beat. Watch for Houston to make a game of this against an inconsistent Toronto.

Hornets @ Warriors
BET: 🔥 Warriors at the moneyline (-250)
📈 70.6% probability
Steph continues to shine and the Warriors continue to move up the Western Conference standings. They beat a good Pacers side last time out and should get a (reasonably) win over LaMelo and the Charlotte Hornets in this one.
