THERE'S a 10-game NBA card tonight and two table-topping sides go head to head as San Antonio Spurs travel to face Toronto Raptors.
Spurs, who lead the way in the Western Conference Southwest Division, have won nine of their last 10 games and are 10-21 for victory at Paddy Power.
Raptors, top of the Eastern Atlantic, have won five and lost four at home and are 7-4 at Paddy Power while over 188 points in the match pays 10-11 at Ladbrokes.
Other matches include Miami Heat at Charlotte Hornets and struggling LA Lakers – who have just three wins from 21 games – at Minnesota Timberwolves.
On the cricket front two Tests get under way Down Under as New Zealand host Sri Lanka and Australia entertain West Indies.
There's also Mosconi Cup pool from Vegas so let's hear all your sporting tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
Utah Jazz Over 102 Team Points @ 10/11 @ Bet Victor – 3.3 points **WIN**
Mark Gasol (Grizzlies) Over 27.5 Points/Rebounds & Assists @ 5/6 @ 362 – 2.2 points **LOSE**
Small profit better than no profit. Gave my reasoning for the Jazz game and thankfully paid off. Gasol left the game with an ankle sprain and only played 23 minutes and the Grizzlies were blown out by my Thunder.
Bet 1 – Nets +4 @ 1.95 (Bet 365). – *WON*
Indiana Pacers +6 @ 1.90 (Bet 365). – *LOST*
Seems to be the way at the moment, won 1 lost 1 haha.. Definitely the last time I bet on a point spread on a Warriors game, until they lose.
Going to make a few adjustments to my strategy and come back stronger… I’m still finding winners everyday so just a few tweaks needed.
Plenty of games to look at tonight :D
Dam Rockets let my 9/1 Acca down by 2 points. Twice the NY nets have stung me. Should of stuck with home advantage
Ah well onwards to tonight. Looks a tougher one but another cracker! Later folk ?
Wish id seen your post rauol duke…would of helped sway me towards NY ??
Yeah I posted a bit of a write up for the Rockets/Nets game. The public was all over Rockets, but I fancied an upset.
Big card tonight, plenty of opportunity to bounce back!
Same as above here, 2 – 2 on the night but the Challenge Bet 1 confortably in (Blazers really should have one it tho, but defense wasn’t good and that also killed the under).
What a game between Warriors and Pacers… Incredible skill level.
Anyways on to tonight and congrats to the winners. If I’m not mistaken Shotty had a good night with a 10/1 winner.

Eurocup Basketball Super Single
Saratov Avtodor @ PAOK (17:00GMT)
Good odds on Boylesport here, PAOK will host Avtodor in this Eurocup clash. I think we should see an easy win for Avtodor because they are far better team than PAOK. Avtodor are in scintillating form….they scored an incredible 131 points in their last match, I mean how is this even possible? 131 points in 40 minutes? I’m not sure if I’ve seen anything like this before. In addition to this amazing feat, Avtodor is in very good form , they are on 2nd place with 6 wins and 2 losses, they won in last 3 matches. PAOK are not in great shape for this, they lost last match in their National League and also lost this reverse fixture 90-68, granted, they were away from home but that is still a heavy loss and given todays odds I just cant resist backing Avtodor.
Point Spread: Avtodor -1.5 @ 20/23 Boyle Sports – 10pts Staked
Good luck!
Other bets worth considering…
Money Line: Avtodor @ 8/11 Boylesport
Total Avtodor Points: Over 82.5 @ 10/11 Paddy Power
On it Hunter!
Think I’ll go on a nice long tipping vacation to ‘Profit Losses Resort’ if this doesn’t land lol. Was tempted by the HT Spread -1.5 but after getting stung by Madrid, I just couldn’t it. Might be one for smaller stakes though. Fingers crossed!
U going ten . I’ll match u and its on the spurs tonight
Based on my form of late I’ll prob be joining you but for 20 ?
managed to get on Avtodor +2.5 at 1.90 inplay when they were getting beat. looks good the now :)
god I had to say something
Had them +4 at 1.3 and they couldn’t even cover that lol.
Posted these last night and wow what a night!!
**One bet I’m on tonight is a double of GSW over 111 team points and over 202.5 total points in the Rockets game, pays 2/1**
**Long shot at 10/1
Portland +9.5
Nets +5.5
Magic -2.5
GSW -5.5**
Well done on all the winners guys! Plenty more tonight too
? Fantastic @shotty cracking picks there. Keep it up!

Nice work shotty!

That’ll do
10 – 0 over 9.5 match goals

Matter of fact Hunter upon further inspection Chelsea most corners and Arsenal most corners is a better shout.For above evens.
Chelsea at home .Arsenal need the win.
I’ve gone with…
Barcelona win
Barcelona most corners
Byern win
Arsenal most corners
Fourfold @ 8/1
Barcelona look great value tonight, I’m going to wait for team news but if it’s full strengh or if they have there usual front 3 up top im going to take advantage of the price
Not often you get Barca @ 23/20. They must be resting players.

Oktyabr over 71.5 @ Evens

cleveland/portland over 199.5
Warriors/pacers over 215.5
3.5/1 *won*
GL guys!
well done to all the winners!
Locked this one in nice and early as totals always change, and I’m happy where it is..
LA Lakers @ Minnesota Timberwolves
Under 204 @ 1.90 (Bet 365)
I’ve analysed Lakers last 5 away games, and Twolves last 5 home.
Lakers scoring avg. is 94 and opponents scoring avg. 104.
Twolves scoring avg. 100.2 and opponents scoring avg. 101.
I’ve also looked at a data comparison for how many each team scored, in relation to their opponents defensive form… Lakers on average score 6.4 less than their opponents points conceded average.
Score prediction Lakers 96 – 104 Timberwolves.
Completely agree Raoul, I’ve noted it down as well.
Messi is playing for Barca.That is all I need to know. I believe in the corners more than the win.Barca love possession and Leverkusen would be daft to go gung-ho.
Daft/Genius Bet
Barca -2 corners.
Oh yeah the most important part 2/1.
Possible picks for tonight. Will wait on news of Marc Gasol for Memphis.
Pistons Over 98
Pistons -4
Jazz Over 98
Jazz/Knicks Over 191.5 Total
LA Clippers Over 104
LA Clippers -5
Suns Over 105
Suns -4
Will have a good look at team news later. Never know if somebody will be getting a rest.
Hi ,
Last night 2/6 NBA …. Lost ….
17:00 Volleyball bet365 –
– a bet from someone who knows the game – Greece League
– Ethikos Alexandroupolis – Pamvohaikos – he played Ethikos to win @ 13/8 , but i’ll go for Ethikos(+1.5 sets) @ 4/5 – a good one in my poit of view –
– H2H – http://www.flashscore.com/match/G0SEeTPP/#h2h;home – i’ll give a chance
– hope to bring us some money
– bet365
GL ;)
Is that Klay with a sparta beard for PAOK?
Boston – Chicago – Chicago(+4.5) @ 17/24 (NAP)
—————————————————————-
Toronto – San Antonio – Over 188.5 @ 15/19 (NB)
—————————————————————-
Washington – Houston – Under 217.5 @ 3/4
Detroit – Memphis – Detroit(-2.5) @ 18/25
Charlotte – Miami – Charlotte(+2.5) @ 77/100
Milwaukee – LA Clippers – Milwaukee(+7.5) @ 39/50
Phoenix – Orlando – Orlando(+5.5) @ 17/20
Going to take the Pistons bet regardless of Gasol playing for Memphis. By no means the best scoring team in the league, but with Reggie having an absolute stinker the other night, he should be fired up. Mike Conley also had a shocker for Memphis last night, so both point guards should be looking to make amends.
Detroit Pistons Over 98 Points @ 17/20 @ Bwin – 2.5 points
Add:
Utah Jazz Over 97.5 Points
1 points returns 3.42 @ Bwin
I’ve reverted back to keeping it simple, and all of my bets are staked at just over 1 point (for the moment).
LA Clippers @ Milwaukee Bucks.
Milwaukee Bucks +5.5 @ 1.90.
I always like looking out for a good value underdog, last night it was Nets and tonight I’m picking out Bucks.
Again I’m going against the public, Clippers are taking around 60% of the bets at -5.5. But my money is going on Bucks.
Buck’s home record is awesome, winning 4 of the last 5, Bucks are playing good ball and I rate Jason Kidd as a coach, he’s starting to get the best out the team.
Clippers on the other hand have been on and off this season, and this game is going to very tricky tonight… J.J Redick and Chris Paul?.. No problem! Bucks got this, win or cover.
other than winning inplay on footy , my bets ain`t going so well on the NBA.
TONIGHT CHANGES THAT…
BET 1 , UTAH -3 HOME 2 JAZZ
BET 2 , SPURS -6 AWAY 2 RAPTORS
BET 3, SPURS -3 HT SPREAD
BET 4, BUCKS OVER 97.5
BET 5, SUNS OVER 105
BET 6, CELTICS OVER 101.5
all 2.5 bets , total outlay 15
5 point double on the bucks/celtics totals.
thats my arse for tonight , now to sit back and watch `THE ARSENAL` exit europe…
Jazz home to Knicks ya dork :)
Come on Olympiakos! Haha, I actually think your arseholes might do it Huggy!
Haha oh yeah lol
Mate they got themselves to blame they blow it now
Last one from me..
Pistons ML
Hawks ML
Double @ 2.78 – 1 Point staked.
Good luck all.
Think it’s a really tough card tonight on the NBA going to have a proper look at the games soon and will post some thoughts
Gary Neville might have to sub himself on ;)
nick, not that the start he wanted or we expected.
Gutted for Gazza!
Barca most corners not a chance in hell
Barca to win unlikely
Bad day but the streak had to end sometime wish Barcelona could keep the ball for more than 20 seconds.
One ‘PROUD GOONER’ !!!!!
The boys did good :)
They certainly did mate … chuffed
Only barca , real or wolfsburg probably lol
Spurs V Raptors Over 188
LA V Wolves Under 204.5

Point Spread: Avtodor -1.5 @ 20/23 Boyle Sports – 10pts Staked ***LOST*** (Ouch)
Good luck!
——————–
Seems all my research has gone out the window of late. That’s three big 10 pointers in a row I’ve lost! Time to go back to level stakes for a while.
This was a great game to watch but not quite worth the 10 point hit. PAOK came out firing and were sinking 3-pointers for fun, and Avtador matched them all the way. Unfortunately, while PAOK were stretching the D, that big f@%king beast Schortsanitis was always on hand to take advantage under the basket. Lost count how many free-throws he had.
Apologies to those who followed. Gonna keep plugging away and hopefully get some form back sooner rather than later.
Apologies my arse .. everyone knows u place the bets ypu agree with.
Not many have posted 41/1 accas
Keep posting winners ( the odd loser too )
Thanks for the support Huggy. it’s tough keeping your confidence up after a losing streak but been doing this long enough to know that’s how things roll sometimes.
Mate i’m the same. Cant string a pair together .
Did have a big night the other night and got 4 figures if gsw retain…
Im cooling it after tonight . My postie xmas bonus in the hat.
So their money..
