02:40 DEN Nuggets @ MIL Bucks
DEN Nuggets
Money Line
57 WIN
@+240
Win
137
The Bucks are in a slump. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games and 5 of their last 7. Denver has a solid in-form offense that can hurt an average Bucks defense.
01:10 Central Districts W vs Otago W T20
Central Districts W
Win Match
480 WIN
@-109
Lose
-480
Bookies have the wrong favourite here in my view. Otago's form has slipped of late. CDs has not, and at home they should have too much class here. Price is too high.
01:10 IND Pacers @ OKC Thunder
OKC Thunder
Money Line
50 WIN
@-909
Lose
-50
This should be a bridge too far for a flawed Pacers team that has been playing well for only small patches of their matches recently. That won't be enough to get the result today.
01:10 NO Pelicans @ MEM Grizzlies
NO Pelicans
Money Line
77 WIN
@+200
Win
154
Memphis has not had a great prep for this game and have shown me enough flaws this season to be opposed at low odds here. This price is too high.
NO Pelicans 5.50
Pointspread
51 WIN
@-109
Win
46
Memphis has shown me enough flaws this season, especially defensively, to be opposed here against a New Orleans team with a solid offense that can hurt the home side.
00:40 BOS Celtics @ BKN Nets
BKN Nets
Money Line
120 WIN
@+290
Lose
-120
The Nets are a proud and solid home team, as proven by their home record in recent seasons. Off a string of underwhelming home performances, I expect a strong response and performance here.
BKN Nets 8.00
Pointspread
66 WIN
@-105
Win
63
I like the amount of sharp money around for this selection. At home, fresh off several poor home performances, I expect a strong response here from the Nets.
00:40 PHX Suns @ ATL Hawks
PHX Suns
Money Line
53 WIN
@-133
Lose
-53
The Hawks are the more flawed team right now. The Suns' offense, which is in form, should punish an ordinary Hawks defense. The price is a tad high here.

20:00 Grenoble v Vannes
Vannes
To Win
167 WIN
@-142
Win
117
Grenoble are the more flawed team this season, and that should be telling in the end result. Other than playing at home, they don't have much going for them here.
18:30 Dax v Biarritz
Dax
To Win
57 WIN
@-312
Win
18
I will take on a pretty flawed Biarritz team here, who tend to lose the plot in their away games. Look for the classier team to prevail here.
18:30 Nevers v Mont de Marsan
Mont de Marsan
To Win
70 WIN
@+275
Push
0
I Don't really agree with this price. I give the visitors at least a 30% chance of the win here, so these are value odds in my view here.
Mont de Marsan 9.50
Handicap
170 WIN
@-124
Win
136
I see this game as a reasonably tight matchup given the teams named. The edge is with the hosts because of home advantage, but that's all it is: an edge. +9.5 is a tad generous here.
18:30 Soyaux Angouleme v Oyonnax
Oyonnax
To Win
53 WIN
@+137
Win
73
Somewhat to my surprise, sharp money has come pretty hard for this selection. I will follow here, though. French rugby is a strong sport for the sharp money being on the mark.
18:30 Valence Romans v Carcassonne
Valence Romans
To Win
200 WIN
@-5000
Win
4
Big gulf in class between these two teams, and it will likely show in the end result. Home advantage is a big factor as well. This should get ugly for the visitors.
18:00 Provence v Aurillac
Provence
To Win
300 WIN
@-10000
Win
3
Can only see this result here. Home advantage is big, as is the advantage the home side have in forward play. They have more class and cohesion in the backs.
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
Lose
-60
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
638
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
Win
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
Lose
-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

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

-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.
