NHL 

Chicago VS Toronto - Toronto is second in their division and Chicago is 8th in their division, Toronto at home has a 20-6-4 record and in their last 10 games are 6-3-1. Chicago is 6-15-2 when they are the visiting team and in their last 10 matches or 4-5-1. Chicago cant score and Toronto doesn't allow many goals as it is. The last match was 5-4 for Toronto. Both teams are coming off a loss here so Toronto will turn it up as they need to keep a distance from Tampa Bay whom is in third by on 3 games.

Prediction is Toronto to win and under 5.5 for 3.00

The knock out stages of the Europa League start up again tomorrow and there are some really good looking matches. Barca V's Man U is the pick of them by far and Man Utd will have a tough job getting anything out of that game, I won't be betting on that one. I am going for the Sevilla V's PSV match and PSV are not the same team they were a few years ago as they have sold a lot of their big players. I think Sevilla will take the home advantage and turn it into victory even though they are not doing great in La Liga. My prediction is Sevilla win @2.20 on Bet 365

The New York Knicks will be looking for their fifth win in six games when they travel to play the Atlanta Hawks , the team directly behind them in the Eastern Conference, on Wednesday in the final game before the All-Star break.

The Knicks are seventh in the Eastern Conference and have a 2½-game lead over the Hawks. But Atlanta has won two of three meetings against the Knicks this season and could clinch the tiebreaker against New York with a victory. A New York win would further distance Hawks and bring them closer to avoiding the playoff picture.

The Knicks defeated the Brooklyn Nets 124-106 on Monday and have won seven of their last 11 games. The Hawks are coming off a disappointing 144-138 loss at Charlotte on Monday. Charlotte, which had lost seven in a row and has just 16 wins, beat Atlanta for the third time.

A very moving game for the interests of both, we will bet again on the number of points and they will be the one with the higher odds.

Over 236 x. 2.18

Prediction for Monte vs IKLA:
Monte are very good against really top teams, but not so much against underdogs. We will assume that according to the statistics, which in this case I can rely on, and based on it, we can say with confidence that the IKLA team here are obvious outsiders who can show themselves well in this tournament, these two teams met only 3 times and it was in January, December and November. Twice in a row of the times they've met on the pro scene, MONTE took IKLA 2-0, giving them absolutely no chance of winning. At the same time as IKLA took Monte with a score of 2:0 in January, the situation repeats itself. But since this match is very uneven, we can say here that absolutely any of these teams can win, but we still take a chance and bet on the IKLA team, I think they can be given a second chance.

Sporting could not get out of far from the most difficult group in the Champions League. He took third place, losing not only to Tottenham, but also to Eintracht. In the Portuguese championship, the team takes only the fourth place. Moreover, she is quite far behind not only the leader. Last weekend, the guys had the opportunity to get closer to Porto in the standings, but they lost 1:2 on their own field, which should be taken into account when predicting Sporting in the upcoming meeting.

Midtjylland miraculously took second place in the Europa League group. So, all the teams scored eight points, but it is the team from Denmark that will continue to compete at the tournament. In the national championship, she performs extremely poorly, taking only seventh place. But now the tournament is on pause, and the players are holding training camps. Moreover, they held the last friendly matches in Portugal, so there will be no problems with adaptation, which is important for the prediction for Midtjylland in the upcoming meeting.

 My bet: Both teams to score with 2.030 odds

My betting pick for competition today is...

It will be an NBA game between The Dallas Mavericks (31-28) verses The Denver Nuggets (40-18).

I have an over/more than total combined score between both teams of 234 points at 2.10 on Bet 365.

The Dallas Mavericks are currently ranked 6th in the Western Conference, they have lost their past two games against Sacramento Kings (133-128), and Minnesota Timberwolves (124-121). Mavericks are averaging 113.1 points per game this season. Dallas just recently acquired All-Star Kyrie Irving on a trade with Brooklyn Nets for two players, and three future Draft Picks. Thus far Kyrie Irving has only played two Dallas Mavericks games officially with Superstar Luka Doncic, both games have been loses. There is very high expectations with this highly talented duo, will this finally be their first winning game on the road? We shall see...

The Denver Nuggets are currently sitting atop of the mountain in first place in the Western Conference, at home they have NBA's highest winning percentage with a glorious 86.7%, this game will be at Denver's Ball Arena. Nuggets are averaging at the moment 117.1 points per game. They have just won their two past games against Charlotte Hornets (119-105), and Miami Heat (112-108).

Yes, I'm aware it's spelled 'versus', and not 'verses' as I did here. Just noticed the mistake on my lunch break, which is now.

I'm at work still, at times I have to use automatic voice, words that sound the same at moments get spelled incorrectly depending on the sentence(s) being used. 

I apologize in advance for the confusion for whom reads the previous text.

Barcelona vs Manchester United is a big match in Europe. Although they do not meet in the finals of the tournament and not in the most important European Cup. Only in the first game of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League will the oppo meet. I think the Catalans have a better chance of success here. Barcelona can now rightfully be considered the strongest team in Spain. For a long time in the season, they and Real Madrid walked next to each other in La Liga. However, Madrid began to make many mistakes.
In addition to leadership, the Xavi team is also on a series of victories in the tournament. Also not so long ago, Barcelona won the Spanish Super Cup, just beating Real Madrid in the final. Manchester United, like Barcelona last season, is undergoing a makeover with a new manager. But the British have not yet managed to win in any tournaments with Ten Hag. Although the "red devils" are clearly moving in the right direction. The club often wins and is now seriously fighting for getting into the Champions League next season.
Manchester United are on a six-match unbeaten streak. And the last loss to Ten Hag's team was caused by Arsenal - the current leader of the Premier League. So the level of them must also be considered. 
 

This match is also interesting because it takes place in the Europa League. I'm not completely sure that this tournament is 100% interesting for both opponents. Although an extra trophy, especially during the restructuring, will not hurt the clubs. At home, I think Barcelona will have a lot of possession. Yes, the British have players capable of implementing fast attacks. However, I still think that the Catalans will dominate and be able to succeed at the Camp Nou.

My betting pick will be Barcelona win and total over 2.5 goals 2.75 odds.

Unfortunately, I just caught an 'L'.

118+109= 227 combined total points, not enough.

Kyrie Irving didn't play, if he had...I'm confident the total points, or more would've been accounted for.

That's the problem with sports betting, injuries within a game, starting lineups that we aren't aware of, players for whatever reason aren't playing at least their average selves, amongst many other notable reasons.

=> Total over 5.5 goals 1.813 odds.

Yesterday Mogilev said some miracle that they would never happen again, or rather, probably Lokomotiv did it by scoring 3 goals without moments in 8 minutes, because of the removal of gestures in the Alress of Mogilev was received by the player Orsha 10 minutes of fine (not burned) of such athletes for professionals!!! Gomel scored 6 yesterday, don't understand how Vitebsk, Mogilev made 22 shots on goal, there are no better snipers, and I don't believe that Gomel will play through the sleeves. Both can score goals here and it can be total over
