MIAMI HEAT have gone cold this season since red-hot talent LeBron James returned to his spiritual home of Cleveland.
Tonight the Heat are aiming to halt an awful run of four straight defeats and five losses from the last six matches when they travel to face Phoenix Suns. The visitors' form slump is reflected in their 9-5 price for a win while Phoneix are a best 1-2.
The rest of the NBA action includes the battle of two high-flying sides as Eastern Atlantic pacesetters Toronto Raptors visit LeBron's Eastern Central leaders Cleveland Cavs.
There's also a bunch of NFL matches to get you through Tuesday night while there's top-class hockey action this morning for the early risers. England's men – fresh from an 8-2 drubbing of Pakistan – are 11-8 to beat Belgium (6-4) in their final group game at the Champions Trophy in India.
In the later match Holland are heavy favourites against the hosts and Olympic champs Germany face a tough test against Argentina.
Elsewhere it's day two of the opening cricket Test between Australia – still mourning the tragic death of Philip Hughes – and India in Adelaide.
Good luck with your bets and let's hear your sporting tips and thoughts.
In December 2020 we sadly

RFC, thanks mate. Did you get on it? Was a close 1 with Wizards & Clippers only winning in Overtime…but a wins a win :-)
Early thoughts on today’s NBA (NOT a tip yet as I might fiddle with handicaps, etc):
– Trail Blazers Win ($1.31)
– Pelicans Win ($1.34
– Thunder Win ($1.17)
– Suns Win ($1.47)
Treble pays $3.00 but I might give the Suns a bit of a Headstart for safety bring the odds closer to $2.50.
Will re-post after the Champs League games are finshed with final Tip :-)
attila why are you playing such poor odds , i find it easier to pick one and use the handicap .
monday i posted heat to get hammered by knicks they did
last night cavs to cover 5.5 and they won by 22
i know a wins a win , but 2 of those scraped in by a point
tonight’s pick is suns to beat the heat , no idea what spread is but they`ll cover
also looking at pelicans who`ll beat the knicks awful on the road
p.s well done with the win but watch this link to see how lucky the clippers were.

Huggybear, thanks for the advice. I don’t know enough yet about NBA teams to know which game to go with to cover the handicap…so for the past 2 weeks I’ve been playing with lower odds getting a 4 fold up to Evens. I know I was VERY lucky today, but I’ve probably won 6 out of 8 doing it this way so happy enough for now.
I might start looking out for your Singles tips from now on too…i’ve learnt a lot of knowledge about the teams form and styles already so should feel confident enough to post singles soon.
The thing i like about the 4 or 5 folds are that with the spread of starting times it keeps me occupied at work all day with the livescore running :-)
Well Randall let us down but A-Rod took it to that secondary, surprisingly so did Atlanta in the second half. Final score Packers 43-37!
Main Bet
Green Bay Packers Race to 30 points @ 4/7 @ Bet 3 6 5 **WIN** 31-7 at the half
Smaller bet on Randall Cobb Wincast @ EVS @ WillHill **LOSE**
Prop Bets
100% stake Aaron Rodgers over 306.5 passing yards @ 17/20 @ BV **WIN** 327
50% stake Longest TD over 45.5 yards @ 5/6 @ 3 6 5 **WIN** 60
25% stake Randall Cobb over 77.5 receiving yards @ 10/11 @ Skybet **LOSE**
3/5, main bet and main prop win, nb prop wins, unfortunately sided with Cobb for the wincast and yards but he could only manage 58 yards. Jordy Nelson picking up 2 TD’s and 146 yards which is a bit of a bummer. Julio Jones with a career high of 259 yards and 1 TD. Packers will need to sort that D out if they want to go to the Superbowl. Well done to the winners. Night folks.
the NBA super single for tonight is the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS to beat a poor knicks side and cover the minus 6.5 , might add cavs to a small double as the cavs are on fire.
gl if you fancy it ,hopefully it`ll be my hat-trick …
Cam Newton involved in a two vehicle car accident today. Not sure how serious.
Huggybear yesterday i tried doing it that way instead of bigger accas with low odds
i did a double of hawks and suns+7.5 and won comfortably (paid at 2.7/1), so im gonna see if it was a lucky shot or not
tonight im thinking of the suns to cover the -4.5 against miami, and im gonna double it with your pelican tip, GL
And thanks guys for yesterday nfl tips, shame about the cobb wincast,with it would have been a perfect night
cavs win or minus ?
Huggybear – does a Trixie of Suns -4.5, Pelicans -6.5 & Cavs -6.5 look a bit crazy to you? Should I stick to a double or 2 singles instead?
Might do 49ers under 14 points at 20/21 Skybet for the laugh after the 6 oclock games haha. If the legion of boom holds its own like it has last 3 games they wont get past 14!
Involving the Hawks in my main late double on Sunday honda.
Fancy the Suns double result – 21/20 @365
Heat reeling, with a virus in the camp.
I’ve gone for
New Orleans -6.5
Phoenix Suns -4.5
Portland -8
Spurs -9
Good luck everybody
Just passing on some info toronto v calgary over 1.5 1st period goals 5/6. Don’t know anything about hockey so check it out first.
SMALL STAKES NBA 5 FOLD:
– Suns -4.5
– Pelicans -6.5
– Trail Blazers -7.5
– Cavaliers -5.5
– Spurs -8.5
Pays odds of $22.00. I’ve thrown a 5’er on it, returns $110.
Supersaint I’ll take that for a small wager.
I’ve also put $15 on Pelicans -6.5 as Super Single @ $1.92.
Also put $10 on straight win 6 fold:
– Pelicans, Spurs, Suns, OCT, Blazers & Cavs @ $4.50 odds.
Attila…Ladbrokes have an NBA daily special Spurs, Cavs, Suns 7/4.
Supersaint, thanks, but I’m in Australia so wont apply to me… Good luck though!
Cavaliers with a bit of work to do in the 2nd half to cover the line. 8 points down & Raptors playing better. Long way to go still and it is NBA so can’t jump to any conclusions yet.
***POSTED EARLIER***
***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 poor 4th quarter & were beaten by poorer sides.
The Single won easy though so a small profit.
Nevermind overcoming the handicap, the Suns lost even without it
Looks like Huggybear was the only one who won if he went with the pelicans single, well done
