01:37 CGY Flames @ CHI Blackhawks
CGY Flames
Money Line
330 WIN
@+100
Win
330
Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow. Team news is OK for the visitors, as is their preparation. Price a tad high here.
CGY Flames 1.50
Puck Line
62 WIN
@-249
Win
25
I like the amount of sharp money around for this selection. With team news OK and a decent prep, this is a solid selection. Price is a little high here.
01:07 SEA Kraken @ BOS Bruins
BOS Bruins
Money Line
67 WIN
@-175
Win
38
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.
00:40 BOS Celtics @ MIA Heat
MIA Heat
Money Line
220 WIN
@+129
Lose
-220
I have more faith and trust in the Heat at home than Boston away. Miami have had a decent prep for this game, and team news is OK as well here.
00:10 PHX Suns @ DET Pistons
PHX Suns
Money Line
180 WIN
@+240
Lose
-180
Team news is decent for the Suns here, as is their preparation. Detroit's offense has only been playing well in patches recently. This will be unlikely to be enough to get the result today.
00:07 MTL Canadiens @ BUF Sabres
BUF Sabres
Money Line
70 WIN
@+110
Win
77
Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 2.05 here, so getting value odds. Buffalo is fighting hard for every win for a playoff spot and is in decent form right now.
00:07 PHI Flyers @ PIT Penguins
PHI Flyers
Money Line
60 WIN
@+150
Lose
-60
Another price I don't really agree with. It should be no bigger than 2.45 here, so that's getting value odds. The hosts have issues, especially defensively, that Philly can exploit today.
00:07 SJ Sharks @ WAS Capitals
WAS Capitals
Money Line
53 WIN
@-166
Lose
-53
Washington is the superior team and should have too much class today. San Jose's prep for this game has been less than ideal. Price a tad high here.
Subtotal-43

03:40 WAS Wizards @ LA Clippers
LA Clippers
Money Line
120 WIN
@-499
Win
24
Washington has serious issues right now, especially defensively, that the Clippers can exploit today. A 4-15 road record shows their struggles on the road. The Clippers need this win and should have too much class.
03:07 VGS Golden Knights @ LA Kings
LA Kings
Money Line
77 WIN
@+100
Lose
-77
I have more faith and trust in the Kings at home here than Vegas away. Team news is OK for the hosts, as is their prep. This price is a tad high here.
LA Kings 1.50
Puck Line
70 WIN
@-249
Win
28
The Kings must bank most of their home games for a playoff spot. They have the quality of players to do so. This price here should be no bigger than 1.37, in my opinion.
02:40 DEN Nuggets @ DAL Mavericks
DAL Mavericks
Money Line
60 WIN
@-135
Lose
-60
I like the amount of sharp money around for this selection, which I will follow here at what is a solid price. Dallas has had the superior prep for this game here.
01:10 BKN Nets @ NO Pelicans
BKN Nets
Money Line
70 WIN
@+104
Lose
-70
All things considered, I have this price no bigger than evens here, so getting value odds. New Orleans are pretty flawed, especially defensively, which a solid Nets offense can exploit today.
00:37 OTT Senators @ NY Rangers
NY Rangers
Money Line
120 WIN
@+100
Lose
-120
The Rangers are fresh off a pretty embarrassing home performance. I expect a strong response here from a capable enough team and a proud home team. Price a tad high here.
NY Rangers 1.50
Puck Line
53 WIN
@-249
Lose
-53
Ottawa have shown me enough flaws this season, especially on the road, to be opposed here. With the Rangers fresh off a poor home performance, I expect a strong response here.
00:10 TOR Raptors @ IND Pacers
TOR Raptors
Money Line
70 WIN
@+104
Win
73
Bookies have the wrong favourite here, in my view. The Pacers are the more flawed team and have serious issues, especially defensively. This price should be no bigger than evens.
00:07 SEA Kraken @ NJ Devils
SEA Kraken 1.50
Puck Line
51 WIN
@-200
Win
26
Just a small one here, as I have low confidence on this one. I feel this is a tight matchup, certainly tighter than how the bookies have it priced. The Devils have shown me enough flaws recently to be opposed here.

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
@+1400
Lose
-53
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
103
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

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
Win
114
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
16
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
EDM Oilers
Money Line
210 WIN
@-175

-210
Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here. I prefer the home side's prep for this game as well. Price a tad high here.
03:05 Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes T20
Sydney Sixers

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
39
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
@+350

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
Point Spread
130 WIN
@-109

Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here. Bookies have the wrong favourite for this game in my view.
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

@+575

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
Money Line

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.
