THE first Masters tennis event of the year gets under way in Indian Wells today with Andy Murray heading a stellar field.
The world No.1 doesn't have a great record at the event – making the final in 2009 is his best effort – but he's 2-1 at 888sport to win it for the first time.
Novak Djokovic has won the last three and he's 5-2 at 888sport while the man who beat the Serb last week, Nick Kyrgios, is an outside chance at 17-1 and other contenders include Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer both at 6-1 and Stan Wawrinka at 15-1.
The snooker Players Championship reaches the quarter-final stage today with ties including John Higgins versus Ding Junui and Mark Selby against Marco Fu.
Let's hear all your sporting tips and thoughts and Jordan will add his NBA picks below.
Mavs -4.5
Okc/blazers over 215.5 points

Utah Jazz @ Houston Rockets
Rockets -6.5 @ 1.90

Going with a new system that has worked well for me recently only backing evens/odds against chances where I think the bookies have priced up the wrong favourite or that the odds should be much closer.
Today’s picks

“LaMarcus Aldridge (rest) and Kawhi Leonard (rest) will not play Wednesday vs. the Kings.”
There we go, I did say that Pop was likely to rest some guys against the Kings… preparation for OKC on a b2b and Warriors at the weekend.
I’ve been crazy busy today so not had much time to post my write up for the Rockets.
I’ll summarise
– Jazz playing a 3rd game in 4 nights
– A number of players are questionable or out indefinitely, Favors is 100% out.
– Revenge game for the Rockets
– Bounce back from losing against Spurs
– Rockets want to hold onto the #3 spot.
Plenty of reasons I like the Rockets tonight. Lines have drifted to -7.5 in places, but can still get -7 @ Paddy Power.
Good luck all.
@raoul-duke like It bro I’m on..just got home from work so I don’t think I have time to research any player props..but defo taking the -6.5 and double it with pacers ML since the lines for rockets is -8.5 now ?.. good luck dude

Pacers ML
1.49/1 PP

NBA Bet For Tonight
Treble @ 4/1 (£10)
Pacers ML
Pelicans ML
Wizards ML
Player prop single
Celtics vs GSW
I see a very high scoring game here.
Isiah thomas having a explosive season and in matches like this he has the ability to trouble the best…
Over 29.5 points 5/6 PP..looks good to me.. I think he will get 30+ points against gsw..and that’s my main single tonight..
Good luck all..
I’m undecided between Isaiah at 29.5 and Steph at 28.5, I like Steph because he is playing at home, where his scoring is far better, but Isaiah is just so much more consistent and would definitely fancy him to get 30 in what would seem a high scoring game.
Hello NBA tipsters, hope you are all keeping well.

Ello mate been wondering where u gone lol:.good ol night shift Ey hahaa..good luck tonight..the Celtic gsw game should be a cracker..???..
Knicks/Bucks finished on 197, really poor 2nd half scoring
Rockets beat again when i bet on them!
Two bets lost, both were looking really good as well. Don’t have anything going into BT’s game, will need to sit back and enjoy hopefully a cracker.
That game was painful in the 3rd and not much better in the 4th I had o197.5 :D
