THE China Open snooker hits the quarter-final stage with two Scots leading the charge in this morning's action.
John Higgins, who hasn't won the title since 1999, steps up his glory bid and is just 1-4 (Unibet) to make it past Noppon Saengkham, the 10-3 outsider at Skybet.
Higgins' compatriot will fancy his chances against Alfie Burden and the other ties see world champ Stuart Bingham against Ricky Walden and Judd Trump versus Mark King.
On the Super League front there's a three-match card featuring a battle of the top two as leaders Warrington visit Wigan.
Other sporting highlights include Miami Open tennis and a busy night of NBA games.
As usual Jordan will post his top tips below and let's hear everyone else's sporting picks and chat.
In December 2020 we sadly 
Miami Heat -6.5 against the Kings tomorrow @ 5/6 @ Betway – 2.4 points
Kings will be without Cousins and Rondo who both received technical fouls and got themselves suspended last night.
Thunder -8.5 @ 1.83 (Stan James) – 2.5 Points. – *LOST*
Indiana Pacers -7 @ 1.86 (Bet 365) – 1.2 Points. – *LOST*
New Orleans Pelicans +7 @ 1.83 (Bet 365) – 1.2 Points. – *WON*
Thunder only managed to win by 2, which was undoubtedly a bit of a shock.
Betting at this stage of the season definitely feels a bit sketchy! Think I’ll be staking evenly from now.
First losing day for a while though.
19-12 (61.3%) last 31.
*correction
I did lose with Jazz yesterday too, so 2 days losing ?
Thought I’d correct myself as I always want to remain transparent and honest ✌
Bit of a wild one eh mate. Last year a few of us gave it a rest for a bit leading up to the playoffs then smashed it again when they started.

Well the prices on the Diaz-McGregor rematch are up on Bet365 & they both at 10/11 to win. Although I think the fact they’re having a rematch is absolutely stupid and I can’t stand Diaz, I’ll happily take the 10/11 on him to win all day!
Conor really shouldn’t try fighting at this weight class again and he couldn’t handle Diaz’s punches & obviously is no match for Nate on the ground. Diaz handled all Conor’s punching power and this time he has a full training camp. The fight is a long way away but I just can’t see past a Diaz win.
last bet b4 nba action , mba moscow -8.5
tenner
81 – 67 cover the -8.5 comfortably
tenner funbet – WINNER !!!
My Super Rugby tip for tomorrow are the Chiefs +11.5 and the Jaguares +15.5 at just over evens. Happy to take the handicap for both as they could sneak wins, especially the Chiefs. Having a little punt on them (Chiefs) to win outright at 17/10 (small stakes). Also having a little crack on Nemani Nadolo to score today against the Lions (23/20). Lad is a beast and is on fire!
Expectin a close game Wigan v Warrington straight after the Easter program all about squads and depth of squads 3 games in 8 days for rugby league is tough. St Helens 4/7 general Wigan 10/11 to a small double Leeds need to start winning and will tonight but 1/5 is short ..bet 1pt double st Helens and Wigan pays just over 2/1 ..
Minnesota Timberwolves +9 @ 1.90 (PP) – 1.5 Points.
Good luck.

Cycling: Tour of Flanders 2016 (Sunday)
The second monument in cycling this season is the 100th edition of the Tour of Flanders. Not all bookies have their match-ups out yet. But I already like the look of these and I think more will follow.
Match-ups:
Oss to beat Trentin
Boom to beat Rowe
Double @ 2.56 with 888
I got good prices on the singles, but they got cut very fast. But the odds for the double look decent.
Oss was 11th and 12th in his last 2 starts in this race. Trentin was 88th and 58th, that says it all really. Oss a very strong rider who should make the final cut and finish with the best. His team want him to stay with Van Avermaet as long as possible. Trentin’s team have so many options and I can’t see them going for Trentin and I certainly can’t see him finish with the very best.
Boom is the leader of his team and everybody will work for him, he got a 6th place last year and I think we will see another top 10 finish for him. His team expect a good finish from him. Rowe has said he will have a supporting role this race and I think he needs to do work for the team leaders Kwiatkowski and Thomas. He also will be joint leader in next Sunday’s Paris-Roubaix race, so after his work is done he might rest his legs.
Match-up:
Van Avermaet to beat Kwiatkowski @ 1.80 with WH
WH have a lot of match-ups, but you can’t make doubles. All match-ups look good going against Kristoff, but you will need the staking power. Van Avermaet to beat Kwiatkowksi is another one that stands out. For me Van Avermaet is one of the big favourites together with Sagan and Cancellara. The only way Kwiatkowski can beat Van Avermaet is when he finishes solo and I can’t see a moment in the race where he is going to shake of the 3 favourites.
