08:15 Hobart Hurricanes vs Brisbane Heat T20
Brisbane Heat
Win Match
57 WIN
@+125
Win
71
Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here at what is a solid price. Decent prep here for these visitors, and team news is favourable too.
NA McSweeney
Man Of The Match
53 WIN

Hasn't scored big for a while but is more than capable of doing so. Likes batting at this venue and has a solid record there. Price is a tad high here.
08:00 India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI
New Zealand
Win Match
98 WIN
@+400
Win
392
Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 4.50 here, so getting value odds. While this is a depleted NZ team, they do the basics well. If India has a bit of an off day, which does happen from time to time, then this has a solid chance.
WA Young (New Zealand)
Top Team2 Batsman
50 WIN
@+400
Lose
-50
Batting in Asia has been kind to Young. Clearly, something he doesn't mind. This experience will serve him well in this series and today. This price is a tad high here.
04:10 POR Trail Blazers @ GS Warriors
POR Trail Blazers
Money Line
70 WIN
@+359
Lose
-70
Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 4.40 here, so getting value odds. The Blazers' offense is clicking nicely right now and has been for some time. They can match or better the hosts on offense today.
03:50 Auckland W vs Canterbury W T20
Canterbury W
Win Match
53 WIN
@+175
Lose
-53
This game has more importance and meaning for Canterbury given the standings. They will be desperate here and may want the win more, which could be the difference.
03:07 DAL Stars @ ANA Ducks
ANA Ducks
Money Line
103 WIN
@+100
Win

Ducks have had the superior prep for this game. Team news is not great for the visitors here, who played in a taxing late game yesterday. Price a tad high here.
03:07 TOR Maple Leafs @ UTA Mammoth
UTA Mammoth
Money Line
130 WIN
@-149
Win
87
I prefer the hosts' prep for this game. The Leafs played a very taxing and physically demanding game yesterday, whereas Utah's prep has been close to ideal.
01:10 CHI Bulls @ HOU Rockets
HOU Rockets
Money Line
80 WIN
@-555
Win
14
I will take on a pretty flawed Bulls team here, who have struggled on the road. The Rockets' defense should cause an average Bulls offense serious issues today.
01:10 MIN Timberwolves @ MIL Bucks
MIN Timberwolves
Money Line
70 WIN
@+120
Win
84
Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here. The Bucks have shown me enough flaws this season to be opposed at low odds today.
01:10 SA Spurs @ OKC Thunder
SA Spurs
Money Line
120 WIN
@+259
Lose
-120
The Thunder are in their worst form of the season right now. This is a statement game for the Spurs to prove they are the real deal, and I think they will be up for it.
00:40 PHX Suns @ MIA Heat
MIA Heat
Money Line
130 WIN
@-124
Win
104
Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here. I have more faith and trust in the Heat at home than the Suns away. The Suns' prep for this game has been ordinary.
00:37 CAR Hurricanes @ STL Blues
STL Blues
Money Line
80 WIN
@+154
Win
124
Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 2.45 here, so very much getting value odds. This game is a tight matchup, so it makes sense to take 2.55 odds.

01:15 HOU Texans @ PIT Steelers
PIT Steelers
Money Line
121 WIN
@+150
Lose
-121
By taking this selection, as well as Houston to win by 1??"6 points, I am, in effect, backing the home side to not lose by a big margin. For me, based on form and the fact the Steelers are at home, this is realistic enough.
HOU Texans by 1 6
Winning Margin
66 WIN
@+240
Lose
-66
I struggle to see the Texans winning this game by a big margin. Pittsburgh is at home, and the Texans' offense has issues that won't be resolving themselves anytime soon. The price is a tad high here.
01:10 Central Districts W vs Northern Districts W T20
Central Districts W
Win Match
84 WIN
@+100
Win
84
I have more faith and trust in CD at home here than a pretty flawed ND team away. CD are stronger in their batting, and that should show in the end result here.

21:30 SF 49ers @ PHI Eagles
SF 49ers
Money Line
88 WIN
@+225
Win
198
The 49ers have timed their upturn in form nicely at the business end of the season. They have a pretty potent offense. Respect to the Eagles' defense ??" it is decent, but it will still have its hands full tomorrow. Price is a tad high here.
18:00 BUF Bills @ JAX Jaguars
BUF Bills 1.00
Point Spread
120 WIN
@-105

Again for this game, the bookies have the wrong favourite. All things considered, I have Buffalo slightly favoured here. Superior team in more departments than the hosts.
15:15 Bordeaux v Northampton Saints
Bordeaux
To Win
75 WIN
@-454
Win

Bordeaux at home is a tough assignment. One which a pretty flawed Saints team will probably fail. The hosts are efficient both on attack and defense. The same cannot be said for Saints, especially defensively.
08:15 Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers T20
Adelaide Strikers
Win Match
60 WIN
@+120
Lose
-60
I have more faith and trust in Adelaide at home than Perth away at such a tough venue. Adelaide know the importance of banking their home games and have enough quality players to do so today.
06:00 Melbourne City v Newcastle Jets
Newcastle Jets
80 WIN
@+350
Win
280
I see this game as a reasonably even matchup, with home advantage giving the Melbourne side a small edge. Getting 4.50 odds in a tight matchup where the result could easily go either way makes sense to me.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
57 WIN
@-192
Lose
-57
The Jets' strength is their attacking game, and Melbourne City have a high-quality attacking game. I have to think both teams will register at least one goal each. Price a tad high here.
Draw & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@+400

Both teams have decent attacking games and are in form too, especially the hosts. On form, this is a reasonably even matchup, which gives the draw a solid chance here.
03:25 Wellington vs Northern Districts T20
Wellington
Win Match
122 WIN
@+110
Lose
-122
The hosts will be desperate here and hungry after dropping their last two home games. A third home loss in a row would be a major dagger in achieving their goal of making the playoffs. The hosts have the players right now to right the ship.
03:07 LA Kings @ EDM Oilers

Hobart have taken a step backwards from last season and have been shaky on the road this season. The Sixers at home are a tough test, which they will likely fail.
02:00 Wellington Phoenix v Adelaide United
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
70 WIN
@-181
Win

Both teams have pretty ordinary defenses and have been leaking plenty of goals this season. Their attacking games are both solid or better. Price is a tad high here.
Adelaide United & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
53 WIN

Adelaide are the superior team in my view, and are fresh off their worst performance this season. I expect a strong response here from the visitors. Price too high here.
01:10 DAL Mavericks @ CHI Bulls
CHI Bulls
Money Line
70 WIN
@-124
Win
56
Dallas has a poor road record this season at 4-13 and has not had an ideal prep for this game. The Bulls are 10-9 at home and are desperate and hungry for every win possible right now for a playoff spot.
01:00 GB Packers @ CHI Bears
CHI Bears
Money Line
180 WIN
@+104
Win
189
Bookies have the wrong favourite here in my view. This price should be no bigger than 1.85, so very much getting value odds. The Packers have limped into the playoffs. Chicago has not, and at home a strong performance is likely here.
CHI Bears 2.00

130 WIN

GB Packers - CHI Bears

The Packers have a decent first-half record this season and historically often lead the Bears at halftime. There is enough quality in this Bears team to come back in the second half.
CHI Bears by 7 12

A large margin of victory is realistic for the Bears here, given they are at home and the respective form of these two teams entering the playoffs.
GB Packers Under 23.50

The Bears have the defence to suffocate the Packers. Home advantage is significant as well. This line and price are too generous here in my view.
00:40 LA Clippers @ DET Pistons
DET Pistons

I have more faith and trust in Detroit at home here than a pretty flawed road team like the Clippers. Detroit are the superior, more balanced team on offense and defense, and that should show in the end result.

The Pacers have had a decent prep for this game. The Heat are basically a 50% winning team on the road in recent seasons, which is pretty ordinary. The Pacers have the offense to hurt them today.

I have seen enough flaws in the Rams this season, especially in the past month, to oppose them here at very low odds. Carolina isn't flashy but does the basics well and, at home, will be tough to beat here. Price too high.
CAR Panthers - LA Rams
Double Result
162 WIN
@+400

Fueled by a big supportive home crowd and the big underdog tag, I like the hosts to be ahead at halftime. Only for the class of the superior team to take over in the second half.
20:37 CGY Flames @ PIT Penguins
PIT Penguins

At home I have more faith and trust in Pittsburgh at home than Calgary away. The hosts have an in-form and potent attacking game that can hurt the visitors today, who are only average defensively.

Not without a hope at big odds. The hosts should win the forward battle. However, in the backs I think the visitors should be competitive. This gives them an outside chance today.

Due to the back play of the respective teams not being one-sided, I think the visitors should stay within this big number. The visitors are solid with their goal kicking, which will only help too.
20:00 Scarlets v Pau

230 WIN

Anytime you can get the superior team at these odds, it's a must-take. Granted it's an away game, but Pau will mean business today, as they will be eyeing maximum points against a pretty flawed Scarlets team.
Pau 8.50

300 WIN
@-109

I have this game as a more even matchup than the bookies. I will take on a pretty flawed Scarlets team here, who have issues, especially defensively, that the visitors can exploit today.
17:30 Leinster v La Rochelle
La Rochelle
To Win
70 WIN
@+300

I like the amount of sharp money around for this selection, which I will follow here at what is an attractive enough price. In back play and kicking, La Rochelle can match or better the hosts today.
La Rochelle 10.50
Handicap
130 WIN
@-109

Sharp money has come hard for the visitors for this game, and I tend to agree with it. Team news is not great for the hosts. In the backs, the French side should be competitive here.
15:15 Clermont v Glasgow Warriors
Glasgow Warriors
To Win
50 WIN
@-357
Win

I will take on a pretty flawed Clermont team who, other than playing at home, don't have much going for them. Glasgow bring a decent attacking game, which will give the hosts all kinds of problems today.
13:00 Bulls v Bristol Bears
Bristol Bears
To Win
60 WIN
@+300
Win
180
Bristol bring a reasonably cohesive attacking game. This can trouble a Bulls defense that is nothing special. This average defense the Bulls have gives the visitors a solid chance here.
08:15 Melbourne Renegades vs Melbourne Stars T20
Melbourne Renegades
Win Match
56 WIN
@+110
Lose
-56
The Stars are on a bad losing streak and low on confidence right now. The Renegades at home will fancy themselves for another win over their Melbourne rivals. This price should be no bigger than evens here.
04:55 Canterbury vs Auckland T20
Auckland
Win Match
57 WIN
@-109

The wheels have been falling off Canterbury since a few of their NZ international players left the playing group. This shaky form makes them a solid lay against a decent enough Auckland team.
03:10 HOU Rockets @ POR Trail Blazers
HOU Rockets

Houston are a nicely balanced team and one of the better teams defensively in the league. Portland will struggle with this defense today. This price is a tad high here.
02:10 NY Knicks @ PHX Suns
PHX Suns
Money Line
67 WIN
@+104

Don't really agree with this price. The Knicks are an average road team. At least 65% of their ordinary performances have been on the road in recent seasons. Price is a tad high here.
01:10 Canterbury W vs Auckland W T20
Canterbury W
Win Match
51 WIN
@+125
Lose
-51
This is a bigger game for Canterbury than it is for Auckland given the standings. So they may be more desperate and want it more at home. Auckland has a shaky and ordinary body of work away from home in recent seasons.

The Thunder are in the worst slump of the season right now. Memphis are fighting hard for every win for a playoff spot. At home, a strong performance is likely here.
MEM Grizzlies 5.50

The Thunder are in their worst form of the season right now at this point in time and are vulnerable today against a solid home team in Memphis, who have had a decent prep for this game.

New Orleans are a flawed team that has been playing well only in patches. This will be unlikely to get the result here against a solid home team in the Wizards, who are in good form right now.

PHI 76ers

The superior team should prevail here. Team news is not great for the Magic. The hosts have been struggling on offense for a couple of weeks now, and this should be costly today.

Boston doesn't drop many of their home games. Fresh off a pretty embarrassing home loss, I expect them to respond strongly here against a pretty flawed Toronto team.
