ANDY MURRAY only needs to win a set today against Stan Wawrinka to guarantee himself a place in the semis of the ATP Tour Finals.
The world No.1 leads 9-7 in the head-to-head but Stan the Man has won three of the last four meetings, including a straight-sets romp at the same event 12 months ago.
Murray is favourite for this one at 3-10 with Stan James while Wawrinka is 31-10 at Marathonbet for victory and 11-10 at Ladbrokes to win a set – which he has achieved in nine of the last 10 meetings.
In the other match Kei Nishikori has impressed so far and looks decent value at 4-6 with Ladbrokes to beat Marin Cilic (19-13, Marathonbet).
The Friday night NBA action features Golden State Warriors – who have their sights on top spot in the Western Conference when they face Boston Celtics in one of the night's nine matches.
There's also the likes of snooker, darts and cricket worth a flutter so as usual let's hear all your tips and chat.
Minnesota Timberwolves -11.5 @ 1.90 (Bet 365). – *WON*
Blowout win for the Timberwolves as expected.
I said Philly wouldnt make 100 points, well they didnt even make it to 90…finished with 86 and we’re 37.3% from the field. Flat.
They are now 0-21 on road games ?
Updated record
Wins – 16
Lost – 11
Nice call mate..the wins just keep racking up ?..
Cheers man ?

Allen u2.5 50+ breaks – 4/5 PP
No joy last night in the US across the NFL and NBA. The total came one score away from landing in the NFL with Hayward playing very poorly for Utah shooting 3-15 and only getting 23 of his 32.5 PR&A’s needed.
Gordon Hayward (Utah Jazz) Over 32.5 PR&A @ 5/6 @ PP – 3.6 points **LOSE**
Saints/Panthers Over 51 Total Points @ 4/5 @ 365 – 5 points **LOSE**
Tonight I’m taking what I think is a low total between New Orleans and Portland. Anthony Davis is questionable for the Pelicans after missing their game against Orlando so that is obviously a big player in doubt, but the Pelicans despite their poor record have the best bench in the NBA with a league high of 40.8 points per game. Both teams are running quick tempo offense in the top 10, with Portland giving up 114 points per game over their last three and 112 on the season which is second worst behind the Suns.
New Orleans Pelicans/Portland Trail Blazers Over 199 @ 5/6 @ Skybet – 6 points
NFL Week 11
Tennessee Titans 21+ Team Points
Detroit Lions ML
41/50 @ Skybet – 10 points
A few tough games to call in the Rugby tomorrow but going to give it a crack. Main bet will be a double of Ireland +22.5 and Fiji +44.5 at just above evens (Bet365). Although the Kiwi backlash does worry me I’m willing to risk it and reckon both should be able to cover their spreads.
I’ll also be on a Scotland +4.5 and Italy +24.5 at 5/6. SA should beat the Italians but I reckon they’ll give the Boks a fight and Scotland/Arg game could go either way. Having a small punt on this treble too: France ML, New Zealand over 29.5 points, and South Africa over 22.5 points at just under 2/1.
Couple small bets I like too:
Ireland over 9.5 1st half points 5/6
Italy over 10.5 total points 5/6
Billy Vunipola (Eng) anytime tryscorer 9/10
NZ/Ireland game should be a cracker! Enjoy!
Thought that total was strange even with Davis questionable who has now said he will play. Bumped up to 214.5 which I still think could be an over play but obviously much more risk from what I’ve previously posted.
Think I’ll have at least 2 bets tonight, its quite a decent looking card.
NBA Bet.
Toronto Raptors @ Denver Nuggets
Pick – Toronto Raptors – 3.5 @ 1.90 (PP)
I like the Raptors to bounce back after 2 straight losses against the Cavs and Warriors.
Nuggets have a few injury concerns at the moment, with Harris and Barton out.
Denver is generally a pretty tough place to come, but I’ll take my chances on Raptors bouncing back with a relatively low line.
Good luck.

Friday Night Rugger
Exeter Chiefs under 22.5 team points
1.83 @ bet365
Newcastle Falcons are a much tougher prospect this season especially at home. They have only conceeded over this total once so far this season and that was 24 points. Could be a sell out crowd and Exeter Coach Rob Baxter has already mentioned the long trip from Exeter as a factor. Exeter have onlygone over this total once away from home this season but that was to whipping boys Bristol.
GL if you follow
