03:10 LA Lakers @ LA Clippers
LA Lakers
Money Line
77 WIN
@+100
Lose
-77
Don't agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 1.90, so there's very much value in the odds. Team news is not great for the hosts, and their preparation isn't good either.
02:10 SA Spurs @ UTA Jazz
UTA Jazz
Money Line
60 WIN
@+475
Lose
-60
The Jazz have had a decent and settled preparation for this home game. In the past few seasons, at least 60% of their good performances have been at home. Like most teams, the Spurs are more vulnerable on the road.
01:10 CHI Bulls @ MIN Timberwolves
CHI Bulls
Money Line
53 WIN
@+325
Win
172
Another selection, well supported with the sharp money, which I like and will follow here. The Wolves are in some of their worst form of the season right now.
00:40 GS Warriors @ DAL Mavericks
GS Warriors
Money Line
60 WIN
@-227

I will take on a pretty flawed Dallas team here. The Warriors have the offense to expose an ordinary Dallas defense. This price is a little high here.
00:10 CHA Hornets @ ORL Magic
CHA Hornets
Money Line
399 WIN
@+160
Win

I like the amount of sharp money around for this selection, which I will follow here. The Hornets are fresh off an embarrassing performance. Look for a strong response.
CHA Hornets 5.50
Pointspread
499 WIN
@-105

474
Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here. I think the Hornets will respond strongly after being embarrassed in their last game.
00:10 DEN Nuggets @ WAS Wizards
WAS Wizards
Money Line
122 WIN
@+209

-122
Denver are still without key players and have struggled on the road this season. The Wizards save 65% of their decent performances for their home games.
00:10 HOU Rockets @ PHI 76ers
PHI 76ers
Money Line
90 WIN
@+125
Win
112
Another selection, well supported with the sharp money, which I like and will follow here. Nearly all of the Rockets' poor performances this season have been on the road. Price a tad high here.

20:00 Agen v Colomiers
Agen
To Win
54 WIN
@-333
Lose
-54
I like the amount of sharp money around for this selection, which I will follow here. Home advantage is significant, as is the edge Agen have in forward play.
03:10 TOR Raptors @ SAC Kings
SAC Kings
Money Line
220 WIN
@+179
Lose
-220
The prep for this game for the Kings has been superior. Toronto played in a late game yesterday that was high-paced and taxing. The Kings save 65% of their big performances for their home games.
SAC Kings 5.50
Pointspread
50 WIN
@-109
Lose
-50
The Raptors' prep for this game has been poor. The Kings save at least 65% of their strong performances for their home games. The line is a tad high here, in my view.
03:07 WAS Capitals @ VAN Canucks
VAN Canucks
Money Line
120 WIN
@+145
Win
174
The effort and energy have been there for the Canucks of late, which is half the battle won. They just haven't been getting the results. At home they are a solid chance here. Price is too high.
02:40 OKC Thunder @ MIL Bucks
MIL Bucks
Money Line
200 WIN
@+425
Lose
-200
Being a national TV game in the US and the fact that the Bucks are at home versus the most respected and hyped team in the league, surely this is a game the Bucks will really be up for. Price too high here.
MIL Bucks 12.00
Pointspread
180 WIN
@-109
Lose
-180
Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here. The Bucks at home are likely to put in a strong performance versus the most hyped team in the league.
02:37 PIT Penguins @ CGY Flames
CGY Flames
Money Line
300 WIN
@+110
Lose
-300
Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 2.05 here, so getting value odds. The Pens have shown me enough flaws this season to be opposed on the road here at low odds.
01:10 DET Pistons @ NO Pelicans
NO Pelicans
Money Line
180 WIN
@+259
Lose
-180
The Pistons have 10 losses this season. Six of these have been on the road, where, like most teams, they are more vulnerable. New Orleans has 10 wins; seven of these have been at home. I think the hosts will be up for this one. Price is too big here.
00:40 IND Pacers @ BOS Celtics
IND Pacers
Money Line
300 WIN
@+359
Lose
-300
The Pacers' offense has been solid and lively of late. This spells trouble for a Boston team that is only average defensively. Decent prep for the visitors here as well.

23:40 Auckland W vs Northern Districts W T20
Auckland W
Win Match
201 WIN
@-124
Lose
-201
I have more faith and trust in Auckland at home than Northern away. Auckland has the stronger form line this season and a more reliable batting lineup. Price is a tad high here.
13:30 India vs New Zealand 1st T20 Match
New Zealand
Win Match
300 WIN
@+250
Lose
-300
NZ are much improved at the T20 format, and they are taking this series very seriously ahead of the World Cup. Near full-strength lineup for this opening game, which is a positive. The morale, confidence, and team harmony must be high after coming fresh off a historic ODI series win in India.
08:30 Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Stars T20
Melbourne Stars
Win Match
200 WIN
@-109
Lose
-200
It's the visitors who have more truly world-class players in their playing eleven. In a game of this magnitude, look for them to rise to the occasion, handle the pressure better, and get the win.
07:30 Afghanistan U19 vs Tanzania U19 World Cup
Tanzania U19
Win Match
320 WIN
@+2200
Lose
-320
Worth a go at these odds. Tanzania Under 19 are a solid outfit. If the Afghans have an off day or turn up with the wrong attitude, anything is possible. This price is double what it should be.
07:30 England U19 vs Scotland U19 World Cup
Scotland U19
Win Match
200 WIN
@+1200
Lose
-200
Scotland have beaten England before at this age grade, if memory serves me correct. This is not a great England side. An off day and anything is possible here.
03:07 NJ Devils @ EDM Oilers
NJ Devils
Money Line
121 WIN
@+150
Win
182
The Oilers have taken some steps backwards this season, in my view, particularly defensively. These are flaws a pretty potent Devils attacking game can exploit today.
02:10 MIN Timberwolves @ UTA Jazz
UTA Jazz
Money Line
103 WIN
@+500
Win
515
The Jazz are fresh off a pretty embarrassing loss. Back at home for this game, I expect a strong response. Their offense is solid, which gives them a puncher's chance for this game.
01:10 LA Clippers @ CHI Bulls
LA Clippers
Money Line
200 WIN
@+125
Lose
-200
I will take on a pretty flawed Bulls team here. The Clippers have a solid offense that is reasonably in form. They can hurt an average Bulls defense today.
01:10 SA Spurs @ HOU Rockets
SA Spurs
Money Line
220 WIN
@+150
Lose
-220
In an offense-dominated league, it's the Spurs who have the superior offense here, in my view. Houston's offense has more patchy form. Price a tad high here.
01:07 STL Blues @ WPG Jets
STL Blues
Money Line
76 WIN
@+110
Lose
-76
The Jets' prep for this game has been far from ideal. St. Louis has had the superior preparation. The Jets have won only 4 of their last 17 games, which is some of the worst form in the entire league.
00:07 MIN Wild @ MTL Canadiens
MIN Wild
Money Line
77 WIN
@+114
Lose
-77
I like the amount of sharp money around for this selection, which I will follow here at what is an attractive enough price. It should be no bigger than 2.10 here, in my view, all things considered.

New Zealand U19
Win Match
60 WIN
@+137
Void

Generous price. Out of these two teams, it's the Kiwis who will be more suited to the pitch and conditions for today's game. On form, it's a pretty even matchup, so 2.38 odds are value odds.
03:07 NY Islanders @ VAN Canucks
VAN Canucks
Money Line
60 WIN
@+125

-60
The Canucks are getting a lot of criticism right now from media and fans. They will be fueled by this for this home game on a public holiday. They are not a bad team and can put in a big performance today.

I get the sense the hosts will be fired up for this home game on a public holiday. They will be fueled by a lot of criticism aimed at them. A competitive performance is likely here.
01:37 WPG Jets @ CHI Blackhawks
CHI Blackhawks
Money Line
86 WIN
@+125
Win

The Jets are just 8-13 on the road this season. Chicago is in a rich vein of form and has been for some time, winners of five out of their last nine games, with several of those wins coming against elite teams.
CHI Blackhawks 1.50
Puck Line
59 WIN
@-200
Win

Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 1.45 here, so getting value odds. In Chicago's last 9 games they have wins against: Dallas (twice), Vegas, and Washington ??" all elite teams. Impressive work.
00:40 PHX Suns @ BKN Nets
BKN Nets
Money Line
65 WIN
@+300
Lose
-65
The Suns have shown me enough flaws this season to be opposed at low odds here. The Nets are a proud and solid home team. They have not been up to much recently at home, but a big performance is brewing. Why not today? Price too high here.
00:10 IND Pacers @ PHI 76ers
IND Pacers
Money Line
64 WIN
@+209

-64
Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 3.00, so getting value odds. Team news is OK for the visitors and so is their prep. They'll surely be up for this game.

Brighton at home is a tough test for a pretty flawed Bournemouth team. Defensively, the hosts have only conceded 1 goal in their last 3 EPL games at home. The hosts are a nicely balanced team, both in attack and defensively.

Fancy Brighton to get the result at home here in what should be an open, attacking game. Brighton has the superior recent form, and that should be telling in the end result.

Hard to see this not winning. The gulf in class between these two teams is significant. South Africa will take their anger out on weak opposition after losing their first match. They need this one badly.
07:30 Sri Lanka U19 vs Ireland U19 World Cup
Ireland U19
Win Match
495 WIN
@+700

-495
Ireland are not without a chance here at big odds. Ireland's strength is their batting. Same for Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's bowling is not strong. The Ireland batsmen will fancy themselves today.
02:40 TOR Raptors @ LA Lakers
TOR Raptors
Money Line
180 WIN
@+100

Bookies have the wrong favourite here, in my view. The Lakers are in a poor run of form right now, especially defensively, which Issa's solid Raptors offense can exploit here.
TOR Raptors 1.00
Pointspread
220 WIN
@-109
Lose
-220
I will take on a pretty flawed Lakers team here, who are in their worst form of the season right now. Toronto will be up for this game and has the offense to hurt the home side.
00:10 NO Pelicans @ HOU Rockets
NO Pelicans
Money Line
190 WIN
@+600
Lose
-190
Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 6.50 here, so getting value odds. Team news is OK for the visitors, as is their preparation. They bring a solid offense that will test and trouble a Rockets defense that is nothing special.

23:30 LA Rams @ CHI Bears
LA Rams

70 WIN
@-200

This looks a bridge too far for a pretty flawed Bears team. The Rams have a potent offense; the Bears do not. That should be the difference in the end result.
CHI Bears - LA Rams
Double Result
51 WIN
@+400

The Bears at home and fired up by the underdog tag may well start strong here. However, there is certainly enough class in this Rams outfit to overturn any first-half deficit.
20:00 HOU Texans @ NE Patriots
HOU Texans 3.00
Point Spread
120 WIN
@+100
Lose
-120
This game, to me, is a very close call as to who wins straight up. So it makes sense to take a +3 head start here in a game that could easily go either way. The Texans' defense ranks highly in several stat categories, which will trouble the hosts, who are nothing special on offense.
NE Patriots - HOU Texans
Double Result
53 WIN
@+525
Lose
-53
The Pats' first-half record this season, and at home, speaks for itself. Outstanding. They should be ahead at the break. However, there is something special about this Texans team this season and enough class to overturn the first-half deficit.
19:07 TB Lightning @ DAL Stars
DAL Stars
Money Line

The hosts have had superior preparation for this game. While team news is not great, I have enough faith in the players available here. This price should be no bigger than 1.95.

It's likely that this game will see a fair share of goals. Decent weather, and neither team is strong defensively, especially the visitors. Both teams' strength is their respective attacking play.

Both teams offer enough attacking threat, especially the hosts. With decent weather for this game, there should be goals. Sydney at home will be satisfied with nothing less than a win here against a flawed Wellington outfit.
03:25 Otago vs Northern Districts T20

Nashville played yesterday in a very tough and taxing game, whereas Vegas has had an ideal prep for this home game. They are tough to beat. Price a tad high here.
02:10 WAS Wizards @ DEN Nuggets
WAS Wizards

The Wizards' strength is their offense, which is in solid form. This spells trouble for Denver, who have been struggling defensively without some key players still. Price is a tad high here.
01:40 CHA Hornets @ GS Warriors
CHA Hornets

Too big of a price here. The Hornets are in their best form of the season right now and have their confidence up, especially on offense, which spells trouble for an average Warriors defense.

With all the injuries the 49ers currently have and a less-than-ideal prep for this game, I feel this will be a bridge too far. Seattle at home with a healthier roster should be too strong here.
