MEM Grizzlies have lost their last seven games and are seven places below HOU Rockets in the table. The last five times HOU Rockets have welcomed MEM Grizzlies they have won.

POR Trail Blazers are six places higher in the table than bottom side SAC Kings. They have won their last three home games and have beaten SAC Kings in each of their last four matches.

In the table, LA Lakers are ten places higher than UTA Jazz. UTA Jazz have lost their last nine away games and have also lost on their last five visits to LA Lakers.

Jamesieconn has won his last three races. The first of those came at Newcastle off a mark of eighty-seven to win by a neck. He was then raised seven pounds but still did the business at Carlisle to win by a head. He then went up a pound and won by a couple of lengths at Carlisle. Today he has gone up another five pounds, but the way he is holding form, a four-timer is not beyond the realms of possibility. Ground conditions are not a concern, as he has won on good and good-to-soft ground. He has the same jockey onboard today as he has had in his last three races. He stays in Class 5 company on his first visit to Hexham.

If Michael Carrick can keep Manchester United in the top four until the end of the season, then there is every chance he will be their next permanent manager. With seven games to play, they are third in the table and currently have a six-point cushion over the team in fifth spot. Leeds are only four points clear of the relegation zone, so they could also do with the points. Manchester United have won their last five home games, while Leeds have one defeat and four draws from their last five away Premier League games.
