THE battle for the world No.1 spot heats up today with both Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray beginning their Paris Masters title tilt.
Djokovic, playing his first event since losing in the Shanghai Open semis a fortnight ago, is still top of the pile and takes on Gilles Muller, who has lost all three previous meetings without winning a set.
Another Djovkovic straight-sets win pays 3-7 at Marathonbet and Murray is 1-3 at Sportingbet to beat his opening opponent, Fernando Verdasco, by the same 2-0 scoreline.
Other sporting highlights today include the likes of snooker and basketball and Jordan has picked out his first NFL bets for the weekend.

Well done to all winners.
Unics Kazan playing Fenerbahce today and will be waiting patiently to see where the bookies set Keith Langford’s total points at.
Nice pick hunter timberwolves was on fire ??..
Cheers bud. Not seen the highlights yet but looks like quite a performance ?
@nick have you noticed how much PP have upped their totals today? Players like Davis, DeRozan, Lillard etc are all really high. No props for Joel Embiid either now. Will try and have a good scope for something tonight,
I’m not sure mate, I tend to stay away from the main guys and go for the lower props. Been on Sergio Rodriguez and Zach LaVine recently. Great shout on Embiid was gutted for him at the end though, 2 turn overs and tipping the ball to Ibaka for the game winning freethrows. Also Embiid is being rested tonight, saying that though the bookies usually still put his line up.
Euroleague Basketball
Unics Kazan @ Fenerbahce (17:00GMT)
Keith Langford has been unplayable in recent games and has scored: 42, 36, 22, 24, 23 points in his last 5 games which includes 36 in his most recent Euroleague game against Euro Champions CSKA Moscow. Yes Fenerbahce are known for being solid defencivley but from what I’ve seen of them this season they’ve not lived up to their usual standards. Unibet have their points line set at 20.5 and I think that’s generous given his recent exploits. Everything uniks do seems to go through Langford and he’ll be their top scorer again!
Keith Langford: Total Points (Over 20.5) @ 4/5, Unibet – 4.5pts staked.
Good luck!

Westbrook (okc) over 10.0 rebounds 5/6 PP
Good luck everyone …
Props hard to come by in my honest opinion tonight so taking to alternate lines from two games.
Portland head to Phoenix on b2b nights for the Trail Blazers. Both teams are in the top five at points against per game, with both running two of the fastest paced offenses so far. Should be a high scorer and I’m taking Over 207.5. Devin Booker is a GTD but happy with taking it either way.
Atlanta host the LA Lakers in what they should win fairly easily. Despite their obvious talent the Lakers are still very young and it will take some time before they start winning multiple games. Should be tough in Atlanta who are giving up a league best 88 points per game. LA are leaking the most points in the paint so expect Howard to have a decent night, but his 28.5 points and rebounds line with PP seems a bit high in what could be a blowout.
Atlanta Hawks -4
Portland Trail Blazers/Phoenix Suns Over 207.5 Total Points
4/5 @ 365 – 2.5 points
The Rockets @ Knicks line is very interesting… seen how low it is!?
???
Was just looking at that as a possible over 209 double up with a well rested Hornets who are looking good!
That sounds good yeah.. the total has been creeping up, opened at 213.5.

With Fenerbahce’s defence struggling Langford delivers early in the 3rd Quarter. Will be interesting to see what the bookies do next as this line was again far too low! The lads on fire atm. ???
Nice one Hunter. Good to see you back!
Cheers Mr Orange. Good to see you’re still around ?
Hoping to bounce back tonight, 3 bets.
Raptors @ Wizards
Wizards +1 @ 1.90
Bulls @ Celtics
Celtics -3 @ 1.90
Pistons @ Nets
Nets +4 @ 1.90
Odds with Bet 365.
Good luck all.
NBA Basketball
Bulls @ Celtic
Been struggling to settle on a bet but I’ve finally settled on the Bulls to win against Celtics again!
Celtics will be looking at revenge against the Bulls in what will be a well contested game but given Celtics return after two games on the road and facing Cavs tomorrow in Cleveland, could lead to some post & pre game fatigue.
The Bulls have been the surprise package so far with 3 wins under their belt and looking good at both ends of the court. Bulls to nick this one for me!
Bulls (Money Line) @ 11/8, Betfair – 1.5pts staked.
Good luck with your bets!
