IT'S win or bust for England on Wednesday as they go into battle against Sri Lanka trying to save the series.
The tourists trail 3-1 in the seven-match ODI tussle and are 13-8 for victory in Pallekele today while Sri Lanka are 4-7. Alastair Cook is back from suspension to lead his side and Moeen Ali is the 17-9 favourite for top English batsmen, with Ravinder Bopari 7s and Joe Root 8s.
England's poor recent ODI record – they've lost nine of the last 13 – doesn't inspire much confidence and they are 6-5 to have the highest-scoring innings, with the hosts priced 4-6.
In the usual busy night of NBA action the Golden State Warriors – whose 13-game winning streak is the longest in their history – welcome fellow in-form side Houston Rockets. And Chicago Bulls are looking to get back on track after recent setbacks when depleted Brooklyn Nets come to town.
Elsewhere there's couple of NHL games, the opening day's play of the Dubai Ladies' Masters golf, Champions Trophy hockey and the short course World Swimming Championships in Doha.

***POSTED YESTERDAY***
***WON*** I’ve also put $15 on Pelicans -6.5 as Super Single @ $1.92.
***LOST*** Also put $10 on straight win 6 fold:
– Pelicans, Spurs, Suns, OCT, Blazers & Cavs @ $4.50 odds
***4 of 6 legs in the Acca won, but Suns & Spurs both had a bad 4th quarter & were beaten by poorer sides.
The Single won easy though so a small profit in the end.
BTW – Pelicans at the line was huggybears tip so thanks huggy
attila your welcome mate , sadly i backed the cavs as my ss -6 and they won by 4 , 1 basket r well on to tonight..
Suns threw that away in the second half, too many turnovers and allowed Bosh to put up season best 34.
Disappointing.
Whats thoughts for todays NBA? I actually like the look of the Hornets at home to cover the -2.5 vs the Celtics. Thoughts?
tonights super single is denver nuggets home to miami heat
denver nuggets are quite hot at the moment and miami dont travel well , gonna back denver to cover 6.5
double might be ova 203 in celtics/hornets game
attila watch those short priced favourites they go down a lot…
Huggy – Denver have only won 1 of their last 5, but 4 were away from home. Their home form before the away games is pretty solid. Miami are crap away so yeah i might jump on that one with you…
yeah but look who beat them on the road
raptors in overtime
wizards
portland
hawks
all sides way better than Miami , nothings a gurantee but stats favour a nuggets win , just need to watch these games with a view to cashout..
toon , flagged denver as my ss ( for four in a row on nba )and spurs for me or o.c.t
Denver nuggets are 10/11 -5.5 with paddy power think I will go on this after the football results are in. Is this a good price/bet ???

NBA in-play tip – BKN Nets team total over 22.5 in the 3rd quarter 10/11
BKN Nets 3rd quarter team total LOST. Missing way too many easy shots at the rim, it’s like they weren’t bothered with scoring and just wanted to waste time
Typical, went for the Bulls handicap and as soon as i put it on the Nets didn’t miss a shot! Typical when i put a bet on the game goes in the opposite direction. Nevermind
So far my bonkers 25/1 NBA handicap accca is looking good. Hawks won by 16, Spurs are up by 9, Bulls are up by 11 & Mavericks up by 2…nail biting stuff this NBA.
boom my double won ;)
went with denver -6 and celtics -3 double hopfully a wake up boom lol dont normally bet nfl

3. Bonkers NBA Handicap 5-fold at odds of $25 ($5 to return $125)
