ENGLAND begin their Twenty20 World Cup campaign today as they bid to reclaim the trophy they won for the only time in 2010.
Trevor Bayliss's men – fourth favourites for glory at 8-1 with 10bet – open against West Indies and are 4-5 (Paddy Power) to start with a win against Ladbrokes' 6-5 underdogs.
Windies legend Chris Gayle leads the betting to be his team's top batsman at 5-2 with Skybet while for England it's Alex Hales and Joe Root both 7-2 at Ladbrokes.
There's fourth-round action from the Indian Wells Masters tennis where pick of the matches sees world No.7 Tomas Berdych take on the in-form Milos Raonic while David Goffin tries to pull off a shock against Stan Wawrinka.
A busy night of NBA action sees top teams Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavs both on home soil and Jordan will add his top tips below.
Payton and Vucevic will miss tonights game for Orlando. Should see a good game from Oladipo.
Victor Oladipo (Orlando) Over 27.5 PR&A @ 5/6 @ Paddys – 2.4 points ✔ 21 points, 2 boards and 6 assists with 7 minutes to go.
Well done to the winners!

Typical, other leans doing better than the actual picks :D Raptors to bounce back after Bulls loss (WIN), Pacers to win and under 209.5 (WIN), Nets to take revenge at home (WIN). Anyways, congrats to the winners!
Posted yesterday:
– Nuggets +3.5 @ 10/11 ** LOST **, they kept it close, but just not close enough.
– Clippers +95.5 team points @ 17/20 ** LOST **, it was looking good until the big 4th quarter by the Spurs and a poor one for the Clippers.
– Spurs -3.5 / Kings ML (double) @ 1/1 *** WIN ***
Monthly Record (W-P-L): 20-0-24
Points Staked: 62
Points Returned: 62.56
Profit/Loss: +0.56 pts
Unlucky there bud.
Raptors actually ended a Bucks trend that was 100% until last night.
Still a very healthy trend that’s worth noting for the future.. Bucks against teams on a b2b is now 12-1. ?
Hawks are plus one tonight?? Are they missing anyone tonight? @raoulduke @jordan
@captain, no specific news about a player missing the game tonight for the Hawks. I’d be careful with the Pistons at home (won last 3 against Blazers, Raptors and Sixers) and they’re still fighting for the 8th spot but I didn’t analyse further.
Hawks are full strength.
Also just to add to Oriaz’s comment.. tonight is the 1st of 9 straight home games for the Pistons, a good run here and you’d fancy them to make the playoffs.
Like Raoul says, Detroit much better at home, but Atlanta have been one of the best defensive teams this season. The most points they’ve given up in regulation over their last 11 is 102 (against the Warriors).
I actually really like the Hawks tonight but only thing bothering me is they are on a b2b tomorrow in Denver. Conference game tonight though so should mean more.
Anthony Davis (Pelicans) Over 37.5 Points and Rebounds @ 4/5 @ Paddys – 2.5 points
why is the hornet’s spread so high? b2b the only reason or?
hornets are my guy’s but magic should cover that imo.
locked in on these so far:
OKC -3
GSW -14
Rockets -2
Hawks ML / +1
good to hear your thoughts as per guys!
ps: @hunter where are you bud?!
come back we miss ya :( im losing all my boxing profit on B’ball and i blame you bud! :D
Magic have injuries to starting players.
Sacramento Kings -3.5 @ 1.83 (Bet 365) – 1 Point.
Small stakes for me until i get my groove back.
I like Kings in this spot tonight, a triple revenge situation as Pelicans have beat them 3 times this season, they’ll be looking to stop them winning the series.
Pelicans are pretty banged up at the mo, and have only won 7 games on the road all season, Kings are playing better ball… coming off the back of a win against Lakers last night. They should win, and cover this spread imo.
Good luck.
Like it. Just expect Davis to have a good game. Good luck mate.
News just come in that LeBron James will rest tonight.
Charlotte Hornets -10 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 1 Point.
Last one from me. Good luck.
Just had a gander at 365’s player props and 2 stood out to me..
Dirk o19.5 points @evens
He’s been on fire recently scoring 23, 30, 25, 22 and 30 in his last 5.
Darren Collison o12.5 points @1.83
Mclemore out tonight so Collison should get the start again. He’s been averaging 14.7 since moving into the starting line up, only going under 12.5 once when he went 3-14 shooting!
Nothing really standing out for me tonight. Will just have a trebble for interest:
– Thunder ML, Timberwolves ML, Bulls +10.5 pts @ 5/2 (Unibet) – 0.56 pts
Had leans on:
– Hawks/Pistons over 199.5
– Thunder -5.5
– Pelicans +4.5
– Bulls +5.5
Rajon Rondo will not play for the Kings tonight. Not what Raoul would have liked to hear.
Nicks, Collison bet could be a better one now though.
Which is now up to 15 @ 4/5 with Paddys…
Looked at it all day so getting on the Hawks ML @ 5/6 @ 365 – 2.4 points
About to tip.
Dirk o19.5 Winner 20
?
Hawks ML ✔
118-114
Just posted but it’s not showing up I’m not writing it all out again. But anyway…
3:00AM INDIAN WELLS
DOMINIC THIEM WIN @ 5/6 bet365 NAP/NB DOUBLE STAKE
The devastating Dominic is a fitting name for this young prodigy at 22 years old he is ranked 22nd in the world in red hot form winning 2 TITLES and a semi final already this year, winning 22 losing only 4 one due to a retirement. TSONGA isn’t playing great despite being ranked 9th has only just found form and is to reliant on serve and forehand. Not good enough to beat thiem who has a field day in these conditions, My tip of the tournament thiem to beat TSONGA, the only worry with thiem is his fitness after already playing alot this year apart from that I see a Dominic win.
Also I’m on DOMINIC THIEM TO WIN THE FRENCH OPEN 40/1 – 5 POINTS STAKED.
Call me crazy but after already dispatching of Nadal on clay this year odds of 40/1 are way to high you can not have Nadal at 7/2 and thiem at 40/1 the bookies have been napping I’m snapping it up.
