ANDY MURRAY'S back in action at the Australian Open this morning as he faces big-hitting Russian Andrey Rublev.
Murray is no bigger than 1-41 at Marathonbet and should win 3-0 which pays 2-7 with the same firm.
Holder Novak Djokovic started with a 3-0 win against Fernando Verdasco but the 3-1 tip nearly came up as he forced into a second-set tiebreak.
I tipped a treble on Gilles Muller, Kyle Edmund and Dominic Thiem and they won at 7-5. My next treble is Stan Wawrinka, Garbine Muguruza and Marin Cilic. Pays evens at Marathonbet.
In the Masters snooker there was another shock when Marco Fu beat Judd Trump in a final-frame thriller and Wednesday's games are Mark Selby v Mark Williams and Shaun Murphy v Barry Hawkins.
Jordan's the man for the US sports so watch out for his tips and chat.
Really like the way Denver are playing as of late. They’ve had a bit of help with the London game, and have only played 3 games since the 8th. LA on the other hand have played 5 in the same span, 6 if you count the game on the 7th. Both teams giving up a lot of points, but Denver have been a force offensively since starting Jokic at Center. Rank 4th in PPG on the season, and 1st in their last three. Clarkson and Black are set to play for LA, but they are still a young side learning under new coach Luke Walton.
Denver Nuggets ML @ EVS @ Sporting Bet – 5 points
Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Over 34.5 PR&A @ 5/6 @ 365 – 3 points

Rockets again! That’s my last three bets on them lost.
No wonder they are 25/1!
Unlucky man.
But losing the odd regular season game means 0 come the play offs.
James Harden NBA Regular Season MVP @ 6/5 @ Betway – 10 points
Just recorded his 4th 40 point triple-double of the season in their loss to the Heat and it probably won’t be the last. He is the only player to do this in the last 30 years. While second favourite Russell Westbrook is also having a triple-double season to remember, OKC aren’t going to finish higher than the Rockets in the seeding in my opinion. After that you have LeBron James who gets help from Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving. The word valuable in MVP, like my Matt Ryan NFL pick, generally means that the team wouldn’t be where they were without that specific player, and Harden is taking the load. Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni is the lead runner for coach of the year, and his NBA all star is helping him achieve that.
Big lean for Hornets -4.5.
Portland have allowed 115 and 120 points their previous 2 games, are ranked 26th in opponent points per game, and have a poor road record 7-16 (30.4%) and 3-11 (21.4%) as road underdog.
The Hornets are on a 5 game losing streak, and have dropped to 9th in the East, 1 game behind Chicago Bulls (who lost last night).
I think its time that the ship was steadied, and if the Hornets can get it going at the defensive end tonight, they’ll cover this spread no problem.
Again this is just a lean at the moment, I’ll be back later to confirm my bet.

——————————
Was very confident on both these bets but always a risk taking on high totals and spreads. Nozgorod have been hitting 90+ most games and although Rytas hit 97 points, Nozgorod only managed a pitiful 67.
Tarvas led the 4th by 20 points but ended up with a 16 point win.

Double @ Evens, Skybet – 3.5pts staked.✔
Good luck!
———————————-
Raptors game finished with 218 points which was somewhere in between their last two H2H and where I expected it to be.
I expected a double digit win for the Spurs but was more than happy to see the Timberwolves once again fade away in the 4th and giving the Spurs an 8 point win.
Well done to all winners?
Snooker Masters Day 4 bets:
Selby/Williams – o1.5 centuries – 7/4 PP
Hawkins/Murphy – o9.5 frames – 5/4 Sporting Bet
The dominant man in world snooker at the moment takes to the table at 1pm v Mark Williams. In only 2 games since the start of November has Selby failed to make at least one century. Williams whilst not as prolific Selby in the century making department, he is no mug at contributing high scores. There has been 15 centuries in 6 games so far with at least 2 in 5/6 which shows the table is playing very well. This is a line Selby could cover by himself if Williams is off as he likes to go for his shots which could play into Selby’s hands but if Williams is on, don’t be surprised to see him contribute to the centuries tally.
Murphy v Hawkins sees two players who have had mixed seasons at best. Murphy has reached 2 QFs and 2 SFs which by his usual high standard is poor but having seen some of the games he has lost, he has been unfortunate at times to run into players who couldn’t miss a ball against him. Hawkins has 1 SF appearance at the English Open and a final appearance at the NI Open, both of which are over the shorter format of best of 7 until the QF stage. Murphy has a dominant 9-2 H2H record v Hawkins but they have only met once since early 2014. I expect this one to be close with both winning at least 4 frames.
Nice one hunter on the NBA double I missed the early ones in Europe and backed the NBA one ..?
Wish I missed my own euro bets! ?
Denver Nuggets ML @ EVS @ Sporting Bet – 5 points **WIN**
Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Over 34.5 PR&A @ 5/6 @ 365 – 3 points **WIN**
Jokic is quietly becoming a beast!
Yes defo Jordan glad I got on last night when I saw ur post – missed the night before when he got 30+ then he does the same next day ?
Golden State Warriors -7
Sacramento Kings/Indiana Pacers Over 205.5 Total Points
97/100 @ Skybet – 2.5 points
Odds on the Warriors have been smashed so the double down to 75/100. Could add Atlanta Hawks Over 95.5 Team Points to make a nice 13/10 Treble.
May also have a prop but waiting for injury news.
Outwith the unpredictable EuroCup & EuroChallenge games there’s not much I fancy so will try a longshot fourfold for some interest. Landed quite a few of these in the past so you never know!

Crvena Zvezda @ Maccabi Tel Aviv (Thursday)
Money Line: Zvezda
Fourfold @ 46/1, Skybet – 1pt staked.
Food for thought arguably the four best QB are in the championship games on Sunday .Brady,Rodgers,Big Ben and poss MVP Ryan.
The NFL has become a totally QB driven game with pass the main weapon .An elite signal caller is paramount to success.
The two upcoming games I think will be classics the with plenty of twists and turns .
Any thoughts
Yep. The Pack are going to Houston to meet the Pats ;)
Lean Sacramento -1
Pacers have won 6 of their last 7 games.. Kings have been in bad form lately, only won 1 of the last 6 home games.
Yet the line opens at -1…? Says a lot to me.
Kings is my 2nd lean for tonight.
Will confirm later.

Nice one Jordan got the Steelers and the pack backed at fancy prices think time to cover with a lump on the pats at 2.42 on betfair ..
Pats @ 2.42? That can’t be right?
Indiana Pacers @ Sacramento Kings
Pick – Kings -1 @ 1.90 (PP).
I’ve given my reasons for this bet above.
Lines have drifted to -2 in places.
Good luck bro..I like this choice..think it’s time for kings to break their losing streak tonight…?
Still waiting on cousins PA&R lines as I feel he will have a monster again tonight…
Yea that’s what I’m hoping too man!
Good luck with your double.
Total that in old money just over 11/8 or 1.42/1 I suppose I have wrote 2.42 it on exchange for my oner 242. It the way I have written it ?
I like the price on the Grizzlies tonight, few disappointing games but I like the match ups tonight especially Tomy Allen on Beal. Wall is also probable with a hand issue .
I’m going to double with raouls Kings and Grizzlies double
Double stake
Best of luck
Grizzlies @ 11/10
Kings @
Good luck man, I like the Grizzlies too.
Snooker Masters Day 4 bets:
Selby/Williams – o1.5 centuries – 7/4 PP *winner*
Hawkins/Murphy – o9.5 frames – 5/4 Sporting Bet *loser*
One winner and one loser but a nice 7/4 winner for a bit of profit. Selby got the job done after 4 frames which was lucky as it turned quite scrappy after the break. Didn’t see the evening game but it appears Murphy basically didn’t turn up. 127 points in 7 frames, only getting more than 11 in 2 frames looks like he didn’t play very well.
3-3 for the week
Grizzlies @ Wizards
Pick – Grizzlies +2 @ 1.90 (PP)
Don’t have time for a proper write up.
I like Grizzlies to end Wizards winning streak of 12 at home.
That’s it from me tonight. Hornets is a no bet now, they can’t be trusted at the moment.
