BRITAIN begin their Davis Cup title defence today against Japan in Birmingham and once again home hopes rest on Andy Murray.

The Scot carried the team to their first Davis Cup title since 1936 last season and his opening assignment sees him huge odds-on favourite to beat Taro Daniel.

The Japanese No.2 is 30-1 at marathonbet for a massive shock win while Murray is 1-4 at winner.com to get the job done in straight sets.

The second singles rubber sees Britain's Dan Evans attempt to upset Kei Nishikori, who is just 1-11 at Sportingbet to avenge his 2013 US Open defeat to the Brit, who is available at 13-1 with Unibet.

Other sporting highlights today include rugby league, cricket and NBA so let's hear all your tips and chat and Jordan will add some basketball picks later if anything takes his fancy.

    Can’t wait for the NFL draft next month, will be supporting whoever picks Zeek haha

    • Johnb 8 years ago

      Good luck supporting the Jets

  2. Jordan 8 years ago

    Nick, probably not the best idea to pick a team that one player goes to as they could be crap, but fair enough haha. He’s noway as good as Gurley who was drafted by the Rams last year. Maybe in pass protection, but not as a runner. Should support the LA Rams. New city and all.

    Curry will play. Paddy Power have his PR&A @ 43.5 @ 4/5 which I’m surprised by as they’re higher than 365 again. Think the points are a good option though. Hopefully not limited.

    Leonards PR&A that I mentioned @ 30.5 looks like they’re going to land. Currently 29 going into the 4th.

    COME ON STEPH!

    • nick2 8 years ago

      Currently don’t support a team and like a few but it tends to be the ones that are playing well so I thought I’d let this decide for me :P
      On Steph too, given his numbers in his last few games its a really good looking bet!

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      You should join me as a cheesehead ;) Hopefully have Jordy Nelson ready to go after missing all of last season. Top 10 receiver on his day.

    • nick2 8 years ago

      I did enjoy watching them, just didn’t like when the coach would end players games after one fumble when prior to that they were playing well.
      Think David Lee could take the starter spot from Zaza?

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Yeah that was one thing I hated from MM. You’ll see a different (slimmer) Lacy this season though so should repeat his first two seasons. Already excited. Months away yet haha. The draft will keep us entertained though.

    • nick2 8 years ago

      Reading the mock draft on rotoworld and its saying Zeek could be #4 and go to Dallas. So much hype about the draft already with the combine and it’s like April the 28th haha

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      I know. They have to hype it up through the off season really as they have their own Network. There’s always players being released, contracts signed through the off season so it does keep you interested.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Not sure on Lee mate. Possible.

  3. Jordan 8 years ago

    Parsons 20 points ? Interesting to know how many player props win the next game after losing for me haha

  4. Jordan 8 years ago

    Leonard and Aldridge have pull this back all by themselves. Leonard 30.5 PR&A. 30 points, 11 boards, 3 assists :( Don’t let us down Steph!

  5. nick2 8 years ago

    Watch Barnes get 40 points haha

  6. nick2 8 years ago

    CURRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, that was clutch as f*ck!

  7. Jordan 8 years ago

    Just spat my Weetabix everywhere with that last 3! ?

    Curry had 19 points in the first half then was more like a Korma in the second. 33 points with some clutch 3’s.

    Over 30.5 @ 10/13 @ 365 – 2.6 points ✔

    Over 30.5 @ 5/6 @ Paddy Power – 2.4 points ✔

    Always nice to start the day with some good profit from the NBA.

    Great to see the Warriors looking back to their unplayable selves after a slight bumpy patch, if you can call it that. Another 5pts @ 11/10 on them to take the title from me.

    Shout out to @johnb for the 2/1 tennis tip.

    Well done to all the winners

    Euroleague Basketball

    Brose @ Zalgaris (17:45GMT)

    Brose basket still have a chance to finish in fourth place in the standings. The Germans recently lost a close encounter with Madrid which in my opinion was quite an achievement. Zalgiris are one of the worst teams left in this competition and this is a match that Brose must win if they want to progress any further. The previous game between these 2 ended with a comfortable home win for Brose 96 -63 . This was a routine victory for the Germans and is something they’ve done consistently in the Bundesliga. Brose go into this game as underdogs, which I don’t understand and there’s good value in the straight victory. I’m going to go with something a little more ambitious and take them on a spread that they’re more than capable of covering on their day.

    Brose (-3.5) @ 7/4 William Hill – 2.5pts staked.

    Good luck!

    • attiladathrilla 8 years ago

      Im on it mate!

  14. attiladathrilla 8 years ago

    Any1 who avoided the Mavericks today wouldve done well in NBA. I stupidly added them and lost (after avoiding them for weeks due to their unpredictability). Well done all winners

    • raoul duke 8 years ago

      Have to say Kings was a strong lean for me, it was a little revenge spot for them after Dallas beat them 117-116 with a 3pt buzzer beater in double OT… pretty mad.

      Rajon Rondo used to play for Dallas too…. I was waiting on his news, as he was listed as ‘questionable’, but unfortunately wasn’t awake late enough to see that he started.

      I was all over Kings if Rondo started. Shame really.

    • oriaz 8 years ago

      Taking the spread in favor of the Kings would have been the smart thing to do. Considering the stats of the Mavs at home against the Kings there was no real reason to back the Kings to win outright (then again, stats aren’t always right). Rondo being questionable until late was a game changer tho. The game was still very tight and Kings almost let it slip when they missed multiple free-throws in the end of the last quarter.

  15. oriaz 8 years ago

    Glad I only did small stakes yesterday, I wasn’t feeling confortable with the big boys (silly me), so focused my attention on Heat/Suns and Mavs/Kings. Stats aren’t always right and Kings ended a 22-home game winning streak by the Cavs against them. Heat blew up the Suns as expected.

    Congrats to all winners!

    Posted yesterday:

    – Mavs -1.5, Heat -9.5 (double) @ 19/20 (Unibet) – 1 pts ** LOST **

      Typo: “Stats aren’t always right and Kings ended a 22-home game winning streak by the Mavs against them.”

      Last time they beat Dallas in Dallas was 2004 – mental!

    Heat -9.5

    Manly vs Bulldogs in the NRL

    Going for a bit of value and taking Bulldogs -3.5 at 2/1

    **Posted last night, won! Makes up for the nba**

    • attiladathrilla 8 years ago

      Still no idea why Bulldogs started such big underdogs. They’ll be a top 4 team this year. Good stuff

    • shotty 8 years ago

      Me neither mate was a gift! I’m looking forward to the NRL this year!

    • attiladathrilla 8 years ago

      Yeah im all amped up for it! As a lifelong Broncos supporter i feel this is our year to get another title (esp. after last years OT grand final loss!).
      Ill be posting tips on most games if i have the time.

    • shotty 8 years ago

      Broncos will definately be close again! Be good to have someone else to bounce ideas of doesn’t seem like many people follow the NRL here @attiladathrilla

    **WON** – Brisbane Roar DNB @ $1.85 (A-League)
    **LOST** – Brumbies 1-12 margin @ $2.50 (super rugby)

    **Got 2 from 4, not too bad. I cashed out on Brumbies for 80% of win when they were winning by 5 midway through 2nd half but cant call it a winner due to 80th minute try pushing it over the 1-12 margin.
    I am actually at the Brisbane Roar match atm, just won 3-2, f’kin awesome match!

    • 96tone 8 years ago

      Did my standard btts and overs. Must say wsw poor. I was doubting btts but overs was safe given such an open game

  21. Jordan 8 years ago

    Unlucky on the Mavs gents. Said I’d wait on the Rondo news and he played, as did Rudy Gay so were almost back to full strength. That and I hate Deron Williams. Not like the better PG in the league who look to pass first. Such a greedy guts!

    There is only one bookie left with the Warriors @ 11/10 and that’s @ Bwin. So my final bet for the last 5 points is going there now. 40 points in total.

    Tough looking card tonight. Will get my thoughts up later. Good luck with your punts today.

  22. lieutenant dan 8 years ago

    Luol Deng over 14.5 points
    ** big fat loser**

    He only managed 12 and looking at the thread it looks like I should of gone with Curry’s points instead! On to another day though. Well done to last nights winners.

    Easy victories for both & nice to wake up to a winner. Never underestimate home ground advantage! Will take a look at tomorrow’s game and post something later.

  24. hunter 8 years ago

    Euroleague Double

    Will keep this short. Olympiacos entertain Laboral today and although Olympiakos are a tough opponent on their home court I think Laboral are massively underrated here. Laboral have lost 1 of their last 8 games and that was against Madrid who triumphed with a crazy 3 quarter court 3-pointer to win by 1. Olly are in good shape but it’s difficult to gauge their form in the Greek A1 as their opponents aren’t of a great standard. They’ve struggled at times in the Euroleague which is surprising and I think Laboral can stay close to their opponents in today’s game.

    The Fenerbahce game looks more clear cut as they’ve already triumphed over Zvezda 3 times this season with an average points victory of 18.3.

    Laboral (+12)
    Fenerbahce (-5)

    Double @ Evens Bet365 – 3pts staked.

      Guys, Ace has added some WGC Cadillac day 2 tips on the forum.
      He says: Not the greatest start for my picks on the first day of the WGC Cadillac with two of my selections at plus five!
      Patrick Reed is in a kind of a slump at the moment with five bogeys and a double bogey yesterday.
      However, on the other hand Fowler (-2), Koepka (-1) and DJ (evens) are doing okay. Danny Willet (-4) got off to a great start just two off the lead.
      Can he keep it up? Phil Mickelson had seven birdies in his round of 67 (-5), with last week’s winner Adam Scott (68) two back from the leaders. Jordan Spieth, Jimmy Walker and Bubba Watson are a further shot back and it looks like the top players are making sure there in the right place to pounce at the weekend.
      I’ve put up some match bets and other tips on the forum.

    Just under 3/4 @ 365 (73/100) – 2.5 points

    Phoenix on b2b after losing by 16 in Miami last night. Orlando have won their last two at home beating the Bulls by 13 and the 76ers by 14. Fair to say Phoenix are worse than both of them. Maybe even combined.

    Boston are the best in form team in the East over their last 15 and haven’t lost at home in 12 straight. They have a win each against each other this season with both games in the MSG. Both have a tough game tomorrow with Boston in Cleveland and the Knicks at home to Detroit, but this should be fairly self explanatory. New York have lost 12 of their last 15 on the road. Boston -4.5 would make the double pay 4/5 but I’ll take a push for a 4 point win.

  41. oriaz 8 years ago

    First NBA pick for tonight:

    Sixers/Heat: Heat should handle the Sixers easily, they’re looking to secure their 4th division place while the Sixers are only looking to add some wins to their bad season. Okafor (Sixers) is still questionnable for the game.
    Raptors/Blazers: Raptors are only 2 defeats behind the Cavs, even if their 2nd place is almost secured, winning the game tonight will keep the pressure on the Cavs for the 1st place. Blazers have been great lately but have been stopped by the Celtics. I expect the Raptors to keep their 12 home wins record alive tonight.

    – Heat -4.5, Raptors ML (double) @ 1/1 (Unibet) – 2 pts

      I honestly think all three of those could come in but I’m worried about their game tomorrow. JR really tempting for only 13 points though. Like Andrew Wiggins tonight too. Over 20.5 Points @ 10/11 @ PP seems good. Think I’ll just stick with my double. Had some nice profit back past two days with spread doubles so don’t want to risk giving too much back.

    Super Rugby tomorrow and my main bet will be a double: Stormers to beat the Cheetahs & the Jaguares+9.5 against the Sharks at just over evens with Bet365.

    Stormers should do the business and I was impressed by the Jags last week and they could even sneak a win against the Sharks. I’ll also have a cheeky treble on the Chiefs, Highlanders and Bulls all to win (1.45/1). Enjoy lads

    There is loads of cycling in March. There are 31 races to bet on, so I hope to see profit at the end of the month. I will also do a challenge bet on h2h’s. The racing starts with Strade Bianche.

    Cycling: Strade Bianche 2016 (Saturday)

    If you ever considered to start follow cycling this is a nice race to step in. A race on gravel roads in beautiful Tuscany with a steep finish in the historic centre of Siena. A big plus is the weather, it’s going to be wet and windy,  making this a brutal and muddy eliminaton race.

    Fabian Cancellara each-way @ 9.00 with Betway (10.00 with Boyles)

    I think there are 5 guys who can win this one. Cancellara skipped the opening weekend, but I think he can compete with the best. He has a great record in this race, winning it twice.

    5 points challenge bet #1:

    Bakelants to beat Ullisi @ 1.57 with BF

  51. Johnb 8 years ago

    Another profitable day on the Rugby League with the over 16.5 points coming in for a double stake win
    Castleford really unlucky not to get a draw though as the ref doesn’t give a perfectly good try late on
    Tigers will still finish in top 4 though

    • tungsten 8 years ago

      Was on, thanks Johnb

  52. shotty 8 years ago

    I’m going for Leeds over 4.5 tries doubled with Castleford over 16.5 team points, pays just over 2/1

    REPLY

    shotty 5 hours ago
    Also going for a treble at nice odds, 3/1

    Wigan win
    Leeds -5.5
    Castleford +12.5

    That’s me done now for the rugby

    Leeds only win by 4 and let down both bets! I won’t be backing them for a while

  53. Jordan 8 years ago

    Right usually when I mention props and not take them they win, so with Kevin Love out tonight I’m going to go with JR Smith. Love averages 12.8 shots per game so that’s a fair bit to go round. Love has sat out 1 game this season in a win at home to the Pelicans. In that game, JR had 18 shot attempts, with no less than 16 3-point shots, hitting 6, and finishing with 20 points.

    JR Smith (Cavaliers) Over 13 Points @ 5/6 @ Paddys -2.4 points

  54. tungsten 8 years ago

    Darts

    3rd round treble

    Norris
    Klaasen
    Wright

    1.09/1 – 365 **WINNER**

  55. iddy 8 years ago

    Gone for the following EVENS(ish) treble:

    Miami -1
    Atlanta -1.5
    Orlando highest scoring quarter

    Pays 1.02 – 1.2 points staked

    Others on list were:
    Memphis +9
    Wash +16
    Indians +11
    But settled on above

  56. Jordan 8 years ago

    Noel and Okafor are out for the 76ers. Watch the Heat -9 go to -15.

  57. Jordan 8 years ago

    Magic -5.5
    Celtics -2.5
    Heat -2.5

    11/10 @ 365 – 5 points

    Lets have it

  58. raoul duke 8 years ago

    Heat -6
    Magic (HT/FT)

    Double @ Evens – 2 Points.

    Keepin’ it simple tonight and boring tonight.

    Good luck all.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Because difficult and exciting is always a better way of winning haha. Good luck mate.

    • raoul duke 8 years ago

      Hahah…. hence my other 2 bets, couldn’t resist.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Haha boring/safer/easier. I’ll take a winner whether its boring or not dude. I almost put a point on Miami by 21 or more @ 24/5 @ William Hill. Down to 9/2. Certainly possible with those two missing.

    • raoul duke 8 years ago

      Yeah definitely mate, it’s about winning at the end of the day.

      I’m also leaning Heat/76er’s Under 205.5… thoughts?

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Really not a fan of unders mate but you’d think the 76ers will struggle. Okafor 17.5 points, Noel 10.9 points. That’s a lot to make up. Top two players on the glass too. Surprised Miami still haven’t hit double digits in all honesty.

    • raoul duke 8 years ago

      Yeah that was my thinking… funnily enough though the total keeps rising, now 206.5 but the spread has stayed put lol.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Maybe a score of 157-50 to Miami then :)

  59. raoul duke 8 years ago

    I can’t just place that bet.. its too dull..

    Miami Heat -9 @ 1.83 (Bet365) – 1.5 Points

    Washington Wizards + 9 @ 1.83 (Bet365 – 1.5 Points.

    Heat will win by double digits, and Wizards cover the spread… No Love for Cavs.

    Lets go…. Good luck.

  60. shotty 8 years ago

    Main nba bet for me is Heat -3.5 and Celtics ht ft, I did place this about an hour ago so with the Philly team the odds will have dropped but I got evens

    Also got a 12/1 five fold on be rude not too

    Hornets ML
    Grizzlies ML
    Heat -7.5
    Celtics -7.5
    Raptors -3.5

    Good luck all

  61. captain 8 years ago

    Nba Single

    GSW-7.5 10/11 2points – Win

    Good game yesterday but tough card today , On Smith O12 points an Miami at -9

    2Points on each

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Where you getting Over 12? Bookies? Prices? Come on captain lad!

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Was there an error or something here? Not calling you a liar but there is no bookmaker across oddschecker giving Smith Over 12 Points. Would be wise to post bookies and prices if you’re posting bets as it gives people more clarity if they want to follow or look for a better market. Cheers captain.

  62. oriaz 8 years ago

    Gonna add:

    – Hornets ML, Hawks ML (double) @ 19/20 (Unibet) – 1 pt
    – Magics -7.5, Towns (Timberwolves) over 20.5 pts, Heat -5.5, Celtics -5.5, Hornets ML, Raptors ML (6-fold) @ 11/1 (Unibet) – 0.5 pts

    GL tonight gents!

    • oriaz 8 years ago

      I don’t usually do prop bets but I think Towns will have a good night against average defenders like Monroe and Plumlee.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      I thought Wiggins personally Oriaz but its him and KAT who are the main offensive leaders for Minnesota. Bucks are one of the worst teams against opposition Shooting Guards. Lowest total I could find was Over 19.5 @ 10/13 @ 365, but Paddys have 20.5 @ 10/11.

  63. Jordan 8 years ago

    Smith, Kyrie and LeBrons totals have all gone up from what I posted today with Paddy Power. Seems strange to say the Love news was out hours ago but I’m not complaining.

    Smith Points 13>14

    Kyrie Points and Assists 27.5>28.5

    LeBron PR&A 40.5>42.5

  64. raoul duke 8 years ago

    Utah Jazz (Money Line) @ 1.86 (Bet365) – 1.2 Points.

    Last one from me.

  65. raoul duke 8 years ago

    Magic are not making my double look soo simple now, I guess I deserved this ?…

  66. ooseven 8 years ago

    Went for Miami -5.5pts and Boston -6pts @ 5/4 double. Miami looking OK, Boston game is tight.

  67. attiladathrilla 8 years ago

    Magic are gonna down the bets im on…they cant shoot a bucket. Air balls galore. I didnt realise olidapido is out too – they never win without him

  68. Jordan 8 years ago

    OMG MAGIC ARE DOWN BY TWO SHOTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER, SOMEBODY MAKE THE WORLD END!

    Relax guys ?

  69. raoul duke 8 years ago

    Heat -6
    Magic (HT/FT)

    Double @ Evens – 2 Points. – *LOST*

    I jinxed this bet horribly.

    Magic shooting sooo soo poor, especially from behind the arc… their currently 3-13……….

    Anyway, 4 more bets to run.. this ones dead.

    • raoul duke 8 years ago

      3 more bets*

    • attiladathrilla 8 years ago

      I know man, damn sucks. I was confident of the ht/ft leg so included it in an acca. Ah well

  70. Jordan 8 years ago

    You’d think by now that you know a team can come back by double digits with two minutes in the game. This isn’t football. Magic could come out and obliterate them in the third. Lets hope so anyway for all of our sake ;)

    • attiladathrilla 8 years ago

      Problem is i took Raoul’s HT/FT so thats why our bets are down… Ive got another one them ATS so hope they come back in the 2nd

    • raoul duke 8 years ago

      Hold my hands up, apologies for that bet Attila… Looked like a banker.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Ahh. Well that’s a sh*tter. One reason I don’t use that market but I did think about it if I’m being 100% honest.

    • raoul duke 8 years ago

      Suns +10.5 2nd half spread could be worth a little……………

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Magic are still -2.5 favourites to win. Bit weird?

      Lets hope for a bit of ‘Magic’

      Wah wah wah waaaaaaaaah ?

    • attiladathrilla 8 years ago

      Nope dont think they’ll he coming back. Terrible

  71. raoul duke 8 years ago

    Suns 2nd Half Spread +10.5 @ 1.80 (Bet365 in play) – 1 Point.

  72. Jordan 8 years ago

    Have to ask even yourself why the Suns even bother. Just tank and get a better draft pick. You’re not going to the playoffs, you’re still getting paid. Seems irrelevant they’re even trying haha

  73. Jordan 8 years ago

    Well, 9-0 run for the Suns to start the second half.

    Towel thrown ?

  74. Jordan 8 years ago

    Coach has benched all 5 starters. Its over.

  75. attiladathrilla 8 years ago

    I lumped on Suns to win 2nd half at above evens

    • attiladathrilla 8 years ago

      16-0 3rd qtr, hillarious

  76. raoul duke 8 years ago

    Wow, defo did not see this coming.. saw the line earlier and thought ‘13.5 points.. that’s ALOT for Magic…’

    But was never going to back Suns.

  77. Jordan 8 years ago

    Magic get their first 2 points of the second half with 6:37 played in the third. Gotta laugh!

  78. nick 8 years ago

    First time I decide to go double stakes too :D

  79. attiladathrilla 8 years ago

    No idea why Magic starters are back on? Whats the point…Suns aint gonna lose this

  80. ooseven 8 years ago

    Well the 76ers have come right back to Miami so whoever knows with basketball.

  81. Jordan 8 years ago

    Nick you are joking ? FFS hahaha! We’ve had our trousers ripped down and been rammed hard!

  82. Jordan 8 years ago

    Even the Celtics are losing so hopefully they lose outright and make it easier to take ?

  83. attiladathrilla 8 years ago

    Right watch Magic come back now and lose all my money i threw on the suns to win 2nd half

    • ooseven 8 years ago

      Well up by 10 with 1qtr to go so hopefully be OK

  84. Jordan 8 years ago

    76ers take the lead…

    Gentlemen, East basketball…

    ?

  85. attiladathrilla 8 years ago

    Cavs are the only favourite not struggling today…

  86. ooseven 8 years ago

    Coming from the west coast of Scotland I should stick to my mantra of not backing team with Celtic or Rangers in them! Cheers Boston :)

  87. Jordan 8 years ago

    I don’t usually do this, but Hawks -9 @ 5/6 @ Marathon Bet – 6 points

    Clarkson, Kobe and Williams all out. Russell has a lot of work to do…

    • ooseven 8 years ago

      But the Lakers are awesome! Er OK :)

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Next joke bud :D

    • dirk41 8 years ago

      Jordan, 6 points is about what, 6% of your bank?

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      6 points is 6 points. Whether its £100, £10 or £1 a point. It’s 6 points.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Is the answer you’re looking for £60, Dirk mate?

    • dirk41 8 years ago

      Nah, I was asking in therms of % of your bank. Whether it is 1000£, 10000£ is irrelevant, just what 6 points is equivalent to in therms of how much it is of your bank.

      I’ve been using mostly 0.5%, 1%, 2% stakes. But maybe I can be more aggressive following some good tipsters on here with good track record.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Don’t work in percentages mate as I don’t back to level stakes. I bet on confidence. I’m chasing here with the news of Clarkson out though. Something I rarely do. Remember though, I’ve just come off the back off a 166 point profit NFL season, 154 point profit football year for 2015, a 73% win record in the NBA playoffs last season, with the Warriors winning @ 9/2 with a 20 point stake, plus the second half of that season. But I wasn’t recording totals. I have money to burn.

  88. ooseven 8 years ago

    well assuming a 100 point bank then exactly 6%. Some people use different points systems though.

  89. nick 8 years ago

    Need a big second half from JR, b*stards aren’t even passing to him :(

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Not really mate. Two shots for a void.

  90. dirk41 8 years ago

    Looks like Miami is still going to cover the spread. The Sixers are a fun bunch, they have had several games where they tease you with some good runs, take the lead, there’s some odds movement… and then almost inevitably collapse.

  91. attiladathrilla 8 years ago

    Alex Len 31pts for the Suns (any1 know what the libe was set at?)
    He has been their best performer the last couple weeks. Might be worth keeping an eye on his points totals

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      They don’t even list his points mate. Rebounds only! Its bs.

  92. attiladathrilla 8 years ago

    Hawks HT/FT
    Illinois State ML

    Pays EVENS

    2.5 points on

    Starts now

  93. captain 8 years ago

    Paul Millsap O 7.5 rebounds 4/6 1.6points 365

    Sorry 4 lack of detail. Read Jordans post on smith and agreed
    With it. Put it on with PP think my eyes were deceiving me. Should be 13.5 i think. Pp not letting me c this though

  94. nick2 8 years ago

    Torn between Russell’s PRA and Korver o2.0 3’s, just chasing losses so might just close Paddy and forget about it :P

  95. Jordan 8 years ago

    Offft. Worst night since the Super Bowl I reckon.

    Smith on 10 points from 5 shots. FIVE. Not quite the output I expected. Not likely to come back in either.

    D’Angelo Russell is likely to play big minutes no matter how down the Lakers are but I’m not sure if his total has been lowered. Over 26 PR&A @ PP when its Over 28.5 @ 365. No other game until Sunday night (at home to the Warriors). Hmm.

    Screw it. Huggy time! 3.6 points @ Paddys.

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Another 2.4 points.

      Irresponsible gambling 101. Apologies but its not often.

  96. Jordan 8 years ago

    NICK!!

    Coach Byron Scott said D’Angelo Russell will have a 35-36 minute cap on Friday against the Hawks.
    “I don’t know if he’s capable of playing 40 at the way I want him to play,” coach Scott said. Well, this might actually be a positive because it sounds like Russell will be busy out there. Only nine players in the NBA averages more than 36.0 minutes per game, so Russell should still be one of the busiest guys of the night with the Lakers possibly shorthanded. Mar 4 – 2:38 PM

    • nick2 8 years ago

      Taking Russell, lets pray for big things!

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      I can’t watch, I’m going to bed. If it hasn’t landed and I don’t post tomorrow you know I’ve got the noose out ?

  97. Jordan 8 years ago

    I reckon you could put 120 points on this and it’ll land. Obviously that would be ridiculous and my bank account would hate me. But I’m pretty sure most of that will come in points. 26 doesn’t seem like much.

    He says…

  98. nick2 8 years ago

    Gutted about Smith, he was getting good separation from the guys guarding him and Lebron and Irving wouldn’t give him the ball!

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      I know mate. Imagine if he had the same output as when Love was last out too. Only 5 shots and a 3 away from a void…

    • Jordan 8 years ago

      Anyway. Wish us luck! ?

    • nick2 8 years ago

      He’s literally going to have to score every point himself haha

  99. Jordan 8 years ago

    Wow. Just had to post this before I signed off. Raptors/Blazers. All PR&A.

    Lillard 58
    DeRozan 43
    Lowry 39
    McCollum 30

    Lillard can’t get in the All-Star or USA team…

  100. nick2 8 years ago

    Sigh, Korvers already hit 2 3’s and Russell has 7 PRA so far :(

  101. nick2 8 years ago

    Sigh, Korvers already hit 2 3’s and Russell has 7 PRA so far :(

  102. nick2 8 years ago

    Well that completes one of my worst days of betting!
