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.
VAN Canucks 1.50

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
108
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
30
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
Lose
-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.

This should be an open, attacking game from both teams, especially from the hosts. With decent weather and the amount of sharp money around for this over, it is a decent chance.

@+162

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.
Brighton (AH) -0.50
Asian Hcap
70 WIN
@-117

I have more faith and trust in Brighton at home than Bournemouth away at a tough venue. Team news is more favourable for the hosts, as is their prep.
07:30 South Africa U19 vs Tanzania U19 World Cup
South Africa U19
Win Match
230 WIN
@-1666
Win

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
Lose
-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
Lose
-180
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
Money Line
70 WIN
@-200
Win

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
Lose
-51
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
54 WIN
@+100
Lose
-54
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.
06:00 Sydney FC v Wellington Phoenix
Sydney FC
90 WIN
@-166
Lose
-90
I will take on a flawed Phoenix team here, who are poor defensively. This spells trouble against a potent Sydney attacking game at home. The price is a tad high here.
Over 2.50
Total Goals
303 WIN
@-175
Lose
-303
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.
Sydney FC & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
69 WIN
@+200
Lose
-69
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
Northern Districts
Win Match
370 WIN
@-131

The visitors have the stronger bowling attack and the edge in fielding, with batting fairly even. These advantages should see them get the result here.
03:07 LA Kings @ ANA Ducks
LA Kings
Money Line
50 WIN
@-114

-50
Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here at what is a generous price. The Ducks' prep for this game has been less than ideal.
03:07 NSH Predators @ VGS Golden Knights
VGS Golden Knights
Money Line
53 WIN
@-208

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
Money Line
50 WIN
@+425
Lose
-50
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
Money Line
51 WIN
@+259
Lose
-51
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.
01:10 MIN Timberwolves @ SA Spurs
MIN Timberwolves
Money Line
240 WIN
@+160

I like the amount of sharp money around for this selection, which I will follow here at what is an attractive price. The Spurs have shown me enough flaws this season to be opposed here at low odds.
MIN Timberwolves 4.00

I like the amount of sharp money around for the Wolves for this game. A strong performance is likely here from a capable team fresh off an embarrassing loss yesterday.
01:10 OKC Thunder @ MIA Heat
MIA Heat

The Heat were in control in their last home game but let victory slip. This will have hurt all involved. Look for a strong response here from a proud and capable home team.
01:00 SF 49ers @ SEA Seahawks
SEA Seahawks
Money Line
72 WIN
@-333
Win
22
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.
00:40 BOS Celtics @ ATL Hawks
ATL Hawks
Money Line
70 WIN
@+139

Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here at what is an attractive price. It should be no bigger than 2.35, so getting some minor value odds here.
00:40 IND Pacers @ DET Pistons
IND Pacers
Money Line
140 WIN
@+650

Don't really agree with this price. The Pacers are in their best form of the season. The Pistons' offense has been patchy with their play. This is unlikely to get the result here.
00:07 CAR Hurricanes @ NJ Devils

I prefer the hosts' prep for this game. It has been more settled, and team news is OK too. At home, a strong performance is likely here. Price is a tad high.

Florida are fresh off their most embarrassing performance this season. I expect a strong response here from a quality team. This price is too high here.

Bookies have the wrong favourite here, in my view. Buffalo are the superior team in most departments and stronger in key positions. This price should be no bigger than 1.85, in my view.
17:30 Munster v Castres
Munster
To Win
210 WIN
@-1999

Struggle to see any other result here, with a strong home team versus a pretty weak away team. The forward battle should be won by the hosts, which will lay the foundation for the win.
09:15 Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars T20
Melbourne Stars
Win Match
53 WIN
@+129
Lose
-53
Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 2.25 here. With very little between these two teams on form, it makes sense to take 2.30 odds.
08:35 Adelaide United v Melbourne Victory
Adelaide United (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap

Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here. Adelaide are a proud and capable enough home team. Price a tad high here.
03:37 ANA Ducks @ LA Kings
LA Kings
Money Line
67 WIN
@-136

Decent prep for the Kings here, and team news is favourable. At home, they should have too much class for a pretty flawed Ducks team. Price is a little high here.
02:07 NSH Predators @ COL Avalanche
COL Avalanche
Money Line
53 WIN
@-303
Lose
-53
Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 1.31 here, so getting value odds. Colorado has been a beast at home this season, yet to lose in regulation. A flawed Nashville team is unlikely to get the result here.
01:07 TB Lightning @ STL Blues
TB Lightning
Money Line
67 WIN
@-200

The superior team with decent preparation should prevail here. Tampa have an in-form and potent offense that can hurt an ordinary Blues defense. Price a tad high here.

Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here at what is an attractive price. All things considered, this price should be no bigger than 2.45 here.

Agen should be competitive in the forward battle, and in the backs it's fairly even. Home advantage is significant, but Agen are still a solid chance here, all things considered.

The gulf in class between these two teams is small, with home advantage giving Grenoble the edge. It's a small edge, though ??" a tight game would not surprise here.
18:30 Beziers v Aurillac

Home advantage is significant, as is the superior attacking game the hosts have here. This price is about right though, so small stakes here.

Worth a small go at this price. I feel that with the up-tempo attacking games both teams will play here, it suits the visitors, which gives them a solid chance at big odds.
Soyaux Angouleme 11.50

Dax have more class and cohesion in their back play, and that could well be the difference here, as the forward battle looks pretty even. Price a tad high here.
10:45 Perth Glory v Brisbane Roar
Perth Glory

Perth is a tough venue to get a result, and a pretty flawed Brisbane team is unlikely to do so. This price should be no bigger than 2.05 here, so getting value odds.

Both teams to score in this game has a better-than 55% chance, in my view, so 1.80 is value odds. Both teams are solid or better attacking-wise and pretty ordinary defensively.

I'm happy enough with what both teams offer attacking-wise, especially the hosts. Neither team is decent defensively, especially the visitors. The price is a tad high here.
03:40 CHA Hornets @ LA Lakers
CHA Hornets

This price is too high. The Lakers' form over the past month does not warrant being so short, and team news is not great for the hosts here. Price should be no bigger than 2.35.

I will take the Lakers. The team has not impressed for the past month or so. Team news is not great for the hosts either. The Hornets are a solid chance here.

I prefer CD's prep for this game. They have been based at home, while Auckland have been living out of a suitcase for a couple of weeks. On form this is a close call. Anything above 2.05 is value here.
01:07 SEA Kraken @ BOS Bruins
BOS Bruins
Money Line
67 WIN

I have more faith and trust in Boston at home here than a pretty flawed road team in Seattle away. Boston is a tough place to get a win, and Seattle's recent form on the road is ordinary.
