Rockets are 4th in the West with a 50-2 record, while the 76ers are 8th in the East with a 43-36 record. Rockets are red-hot, having won their last 7 games, while the 76ers lost their last 2 games and will miss Embiid tonight. Rockets won 2 of their last 3 H2H meetings, so got to feel like the hosts have the momentum here and should be winning this one.

Rockets are 50-29 in 4th place in the West while the 76ers are 43-36 in 8th place in the East. Rockets have won their last 7 games and covered the spread in 4 of the last 6 of those games. On the other side, the 76ers were destroyed in their last 2 games by 23 and 13 points and will miss Embiid tonight. Rockets are strong at home and in form, while the 76ers are undermanned and struggling of late, so got to take the Rockets to win this one handily.

Lakers are 50-29, in 4th place in the West, being a game and a half behind 3rd place and only ahead of the Rockets in 5th place on the H2H record in the fight for seeding ahead of the playoffs. On the other side, the Warriors are locked into 10th place in the West and will miss Curry tonight. Lakers won their last two H2H meetings and should be more motivated and win this one.

Lakers are 50-29, battling for seeding and home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, while Warriors are locked into 10th place with a 37-42 record and have nothing to play for in this one. As a result, Warriors will rest Curry and will have notable other absences as well. Lakers won 3 of the last 4 H2H meetings against Warriors, including the last 2, so it feels like Lakers should take advantage of Warriors' lack of motivation and resting their best player to win this game led by James.

Kings are 9th overall in the West, sitting just 1 point below the final wild-card spot with this game in hand on the teams above them. Conversely, the Canucks are the worst team in the league, being a massive 31 points below tonight's opponent. Kings won 3 of their last 4 games, while the Canucks lost 9 of their last 10. Combined with the Kings winning both of their H2H meetings this season and being the much more motivated side chasing the playoffs, got to expect the hosts to dominate and win.

Kings have 83 points, sitting just 1 point out of the playoff picture with this game in hand on the teams above them, while the Canucks are by far the worst team in the league with only 52 points. Kings won 3 of their last 4 games, while the Canucks lost 9 of their last 10 games, and 8 of those 9 losses came by at least a 2-goal difference. Kings won both of their head-to-head meetings this season, of which the last one came by a 4-goal difference just 2 weeks ago in Vancouver, so got to expect the much more motivated hosts to have the upper hand and win convincingly in the end.

Sea Eagles are 1-3 after an inspiring win at the Dolphins following a change in the coaching position, while Dragons are awful at 0-5 and are likely to face similar coaching changes in the near future given how bad they have been so far. Both teams leak points defensively, each averaging 29 points allowed per game, but the Sea Eagles are far superior in attack, averaging 28 points scored per game versus the Dragons' mere 13.6 points scored per game. Sea Eagles won in the last visit to the Dragons by 16 points and currently look like the better side, so they should be winning this one by at least two tries in the end.

Broncos are 3-2 after 3 straight wins following 2 opening losses, while the Cowboys have exactly the same 3-2 record that also came with 3 straight wins after opening 2 losses. Broncos lost 2 of their most important players, Walsh and Reynolds last week, but rallied without them and won with great composure, showing why they are reigning champions. On the other side, the Cowboys racked up a couple of wins against struggling sides, with the Storm sandwiched between those, and even that win looks a bit weaker given the Storm's recent struggles. Broncos have owned this state rivalry in recent years and have won the last 8 games between them, so at home under the night lights of Suncorp, simply got to give a slight edge to the defending champions and back the Broncos to win.

Hermannstadt is 15th with 15 points while Farul Constan?a is 11th with 23 points. Hermannstadt won their first home game of this relegation group 3-0, while Farul is weak 1-1-5 in their last 7 road games, so got to expect the hosts to win this one. Hermannstadt are 2-1-1 in their 4 previous head-to-head league meetings which they hosted, with 3 clean sheets, including a 1-0 win earlier this season, while Farul failed to score in 3 of their last 4 road losses, so got to see nice value backing the hosts to win and keep a clean sheet.

Hermannstadt has 15 points in 15th place, sitting 5 points below safety, while Farul Constan?a is 11th with 23 points, sitting 4 points above the danger zone. Hermannstadt won their first home game of this relegation group. Farul has a draw and a loss in their last 2 games, and they are just 1-1-5 in their last 7 road trips. Hermannstadt is 2-1-1 in their 4 previous H2H league meetings played in Sibiu, and they should be the more motivated side here, needing vital points in the fight for safety which at home they need to conquer, making the hosts to win this one a solid pick to go with.

Arminia Bielefeld is 11th with 31 points, sitting just 2 points above the danger zone, while Karlsruher is 2 spots above them with 7 more points in a more comfortable situation. Arminia won their last game against 4th-placed Darmstadt by 2-1, while Karlsruher lost 2 of their last 3 games, so got to give the edge to the visitors here. Arminia won their first head-to-head meeting of the season by 4 goals, but they failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 of their last 12 games. Karlsruher failed to keep a clean sheet in 21 of their last 22 games, including conceding at least 3 goals in 4 of their last 9 home games, but they did score in 8 of those, so got to expect goals from both sides and Arminia to edge it out.

Cameron Young has been playing some brilliant golf of late as in his last 3 outings he notched finishes of T7 at The Genesis Invitational, T3 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and then a win at The Players Championship. He is 2-for-3 in his most recent Augusta appearances with finishes of T7 and T9 in 2023 and 2024, before a missed cut last year when he arrived in Georgia with a form of 5 missed cuts in the 6 prior events he had played. This time around he comes to Augusta in splendid form, playing some amazing golf that could easily see him right in the mix come Sunday afternoon.

Rahm arrives at Augusta with stellar form on the LIV Tour, where he finished in the top 5 in his last 5 events with 1 win and 3 runner-up finishes, playing some excellent golf. He has a strong record here at Masters, with 5 top-10 finishes in his last 8 visits, including a green jacket in 2023, so given how well he is playing at the moment, there's nice value backing the Spaniard to win a second green jacket with another strong display.

Min Woo Lee is playing some amazing golf to start the season, highlighted by finishes of T2 at Pebble Beach, T6 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and T3 in his last outing at the Houston Open. He was T14 here at Augusta on his debut in 2022, and he made the cut in his last 2 showings as well. With his form at the moment and improved putting, there is very nice value on offer to back the Aussie to be right in the mix come Sunday afternoon.

Reed had quite a turbulent time after finishing his contract with LIV Tour and coming to play on the DP World Tour to earn his place back on the PGA Tour when his year-long suspension finishes. That seems to have just brought out the best in him as he has been playing superbly to start the season, winning titles at the Dubai Desert Classic and Qatar Masters, while also finishing 3rd at the Bahrain Championship to quickly secure his spot back on the PGA Tour. He has a excellent record here at Augusta, with 5 top-10 finishes in his last 8 showings, highlighted by the title in 2018 as this course clearly suits him very well, and combined with the form he brings from overseas, simply got to expect him to be a factor this weekend and contend for the victory.

Sungjae Im played just 4 events this year but made the cut in the last two, highlighted by a T4 finish at the Valspar Championship where he opened with a brilliant round of 7 under par 64. He has a strong record here at Augusta, being 4-for-6 with all 4 of those finishes inside the top 16, highlighted by a T2 on debut in 2020 and a T5 last year. He knows his way around Augusta and its tricky greens to putt on, while also keeping an aggressive mindset on particular holes that allow it, so got to fancy the Korean to go well again this weekend and quite possibly contend for top places.
