ANDY MURRAY and Jo Konta are flying the flag for Britain as they bid to book a third-round place in tonight's Indian Wells Open action.
Murray faces the first meeting of his career with Argentina's Federico Delbonis, the world No.53, and the Scot to win 2-0 pays just 2-9 at Unibet while under 18.5 games is 10-11 at bet365.
Konta is unlikely to have it as easy in her match with Czech world No.64 Denisa Allertova, who is 13-8 at marathonbet while the British No.1 is 8-13 at Sportingbet.
The pick of the other matches include Bernie Tomic against Milos Raonic, Richard Gasquet versus Alexandr Dolgopolov and Genie Bouchard's battle with Timea Bacsinszky.
In the NBA there's another packed card and there's also the likes of cycling and cricket worth a flutter.
Post your sporting tips and chat here and Jordan will add his basketball tips below.

Well done to the winners. Back tonight.
Nice job Jordan!
Cleveland Cavaliers -1.5 @ 1.90 (PP) – 2 Points. – *WON*
Sacramento Kings +1.5 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 2 Points. – *LOST*
Brooklyn Nets +1.5 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 4 Points. – *LOST*
Apologies if anyone followed Kings or Nets, wasn’t quite the end to the week I was hoping for.
Still a very profitable week, so hardly any damage done.
Well done to the winners.
Totals – 7-3 (last 10)
That’ll learn you to bet against the Bucks :)
Unlucky but you had a very nice week!
Haha spot on yeah.
Hopeful to get that back tonight ?
Bit better last night! Managed to cut down the losses at least even if Kings had a aweful night against the Jazz (specially the 1st quarter). I posted 2 pts but it was actually 1 staked, but will use 2 for the stats.
Congrats to all winners!

Not a lot that I like today. I will have some on Sagan, as this is a perfect finish for him.
Sagan to win @ 5.00 with Betway
Van Avermaet to beat Kwiatkowski @ 1.53 with WH
The odds are short, but other bookies have this one a lot shorter. Because of the cancellation of stage 5 we have some new names who can win this race overall. One of them is Greg van Avermaet. He is very close in GC. The finish will suit him and I think he will finish with the sprinters, trying to get some bonus seconds ahead of tomorrow’s time trial. I don’t think Kwiatkowski will not risk this tricky fast finish plus their team will probably try to win it with Viviani.
Good stuff last night gents. Two teams tonight at home facing teams from their conference who are very injury riddled. Chicago could be without Rose, Butler and Gasol, with Memphis without Gasol, Conley, Chalmers and Randolph who is questionable.
Raptors -4
Rockets -4
4/5 @ 365 – 5 points
Cycling: Tirreno-Adriatico stage 6
Sagan to win @ 5.00 with Betway LOST :(
Van Avermaet to beat Kwiatkowski @ 1.53 with WH WIN :)
Frustrating, Van Avermaet beats Sagan in a 2 man sprint. Grrrr
Nice one Mr Orange was on Van Avermaet. Unfortunately it was 1.33 but still a win.
Others had it @ 1.20 – 1.33. So 1.53 from WH was quite generous. For some reason the WH odds never change.
Steph Currys 28th birthday today. Make of that what you will at home to the Pelicans tonight ;)
Cleveland Cavaliers -4 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 2 Points.
I’ll add a reasoning for this bet once I get a chance.
Good luck.
lines changed to -6 at 1.90 just an FYI for anyone looking.
-4.5 EVS @ Betway
Gordan Hayward is out!.. Lines are now -6.5.
Gents. Advice. Use oddschecker. You will always find value somewhere else. Don’t limit yourself to one bookie.
Minnesota Timberwolves ML @ 1.86 (Bet 365) – 1.2 Points.
Good luck.
Current leans:
– Rockets -10
– Dallas +7
– Wizards -2
– Timberwoles +1.5
Milos Raonic (14) has won the three H2H bye 2-0 in sets but the last match against Bernard Tomic (20) in Brisbane (Australia), hard – Semi-finals saw both sets going to a tiebreaker , Milos Raonic had last month off after Australian open but won his opening game here 6-1 ,6-3″
Milos Raonic (Win Match) 9/31 WH
1 more from me.. I don’t usually bother with player props, but I like this one.
Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 39.5 Points, Assists and Rebounds (Bet365) – 1.2 Points.
Davis’s last 5 games (P,A&R) – 42, 42, 58, 40, 42.
Warriors defense has been poor lately, just look at how many points they’ve given up recently.. Suns (116), Blazers (112), Magic (113). I think Davis makes this total.
Forgot odds… 1.83.
Good luck.
Picks for tonight:
– Cavs -6 @ 10/11
– Rockets -10.5 @ 10/11
– Mavericks +6.5 @ 10/11
– Wizards -1.5 @ 10/11
– Wizards +5.5 / Mavericks +10.5 (double) @ 1/1
– Heat ML, Cavs ML, Raptors -3.5, Rockets -5.5 @ 2.5/1
All 1 pt, all @ Unibet
GL tonight!
Goin’ in tonight mate!
Good luck, I like the Dallas bet ?
@jodan,
I’m having a big headache right now I did acca of 9 now 8 has coming good wating for murry under 18.5 you mention in your post..for £7,200… But I don’t know how it works in tenni betting.. Thinking I should cash out my rest betting on tennis really don’t understand it under 18.5
say murry wins the first set 6-3 that means there have been 9 games played. murry would need to win the next set by the same or less ie 6-2, 6-1 for the under 18.5 games to come in.
Second set could still be 6-3 couldn’t it?
Komo, just for clarification. I have nothing to do with what is posted at the top.
Basically Murray needs to win 2-0 and his opponent having less than 7 games won which as I’ve just checked is a losser. Hope you cashed out mate if you had the option
Thanks mate I have cash out since
I’m putting faith in Raoul on the Cavs. No pressure bud ;)
Rockets -3.5
Raptors ML
Cavaliers ML
54/50 @ 365 – 2.5 points
Forgot the games are tipping off early! Whoops. Caught this Raptor game a tad late! Stinking it up at home too. Brilliant.
