11 games of NBA and a PGA event we actually get to watch – yep, we’ve died and gone to sporting/punting/dfs heaven!

It was a huge day at Club 20 yesterday with a 73% POT to start the NBA season, and that was with just two games to work with. Imagine how exponentially our awesomeness can expand with today’s eleven-game slate and a PGA event in Japan!

Fire when ready…

NBA DAY 2

BULLS @ HORNETS – ZACH LAVINE 20+ / BULLS WIN @ 2.40

The Bulls are eyeing a return to playoff basketball in 2019-20 and Zach Lavine has strengthened his hand as the go-to man on Chicago's offense. He will be looking to start the season strong and really he should smash past this 20+. I’m more worried about the Bulls choking down the stretch than Lavine’s 20+.

CELTICS @ 76ERS – 76ERS FIRST QUARTER -1.5 @ 1.90

Philly are legit this season and they'd want to start hot in their first home game of the season. Even though pre-season is nothing to read into, they've won every single first quarter and covered -1.5 in each. Markets still baking in a lot of Al Horford’s defence into the Celtics for mine, but he is playing on the other side this season and this looks as safe as it gets today.

PISTONS @ PACERS – MALCOLM BRODGON +21.5 PTS/ASSIST @ 1.90

Malcolm Brogdon joins the Pacers where he will look to be the #1 guy on the depth chart at point guard. A scorer at heart, he'll be looking to combine with big men Sabonis and Turner for career high assist numbers. Expect that to start on opening day with more freedom than at his time behind Giannis, and competing for minutes with Middleton & Bledsoe at the Bucks.

CAVS @ MAGIC – JONATHAN ISSAC – HEAPS OF SH*T!

• Isaac +17.5 Points & Rebounds – Overs @ 1.92
• Isaac 10pts, Magic win @ 1.90
• Isaac 15pts, Magic win @ 4.50

An athletic freak, Jonathan Isaac has cemented his starting role at SF for an exciting Orlando Magic team. Isaac showed flashes of his potential late last season as he earned more minutes and should continue to do so here as the starter. In preseason, he racked up 16/7 and 13/8 in the two games he played 25+ minutes.

WOLVES @ NETS – SPENCER DINWIDDIE +14.5PTS OVERS @ 1.90

Spencer Dinwiddie is nominally the Nets go-to bench scorer but will essentially play starter minutes as Coach Atkinson rotates between Kyrie Irving, Caris LeVert and Dinwiddie through the guard positions. Plenty at the front bar like pip sweet Lou for 6th Man of the Year. Dinwiddie averaged 16.1ppg last year and will continue to play big minutes as long as he’s scoring heavily - he scored 20 points on 6-14 shooting in the only game he played 24+ mins through the pre-season

GRIZZLIES @ HEAT – JIMMY BUTLER DD/WIN @ 7.00, TD/WIN @ 101

Few of the NBA guys wanting to take the conservative route first up with Jimmy Buckets at his new team, but pfffft to that! We’re going hard on the man who will run this team. Butler averaged a total of 27.5 across the three categories last season as the 3rd option in Philadelphia behind Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. This Miami Heat team is Butler's team and he will relish the opportunity to be 'the man' and the face of the franchise. It is, after all, why he left a title contending team for one projected to be in the lower half of a weak Eastern Conference. Hoping for a massive start to the season.

WIZARDS @ MAVS– KRISTAPS PORZINGIS 20+/W @ 2.40, 25+/W @ 4.50

He’s baaaaaack! Getting the Wizards first up with Doncic feeding, it doesn’t get any better in terms of matchup and game speed for Porzingis to return immediately to his 2017/18 form. He should absolutely eat the Wizards here.

WIZARDS @ MAVS – BRADLEY BEAL +26.5PTS OVERS @ 1.90

Take a look at the Wizard's "no John Wal' starting line-up! It is UGLY! No Sato either. Beal averaged 27.7 points last season without Wall and will certainly be responsible for scoring the bulk of the Wizard's points.

PGA ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIPS

For those having a punt on the Golf this weekend in Japan, know that the fairways are tight, the greens are quick and the rough is tough to stick close, so take those guys who can hit fairways and/or save themselves around the greens.

OUTRIGHT– PATRICK REED EW @ 31.00/7.00

If Reed can hit those stingers off the tee on the long Par 4’s and find the fairways he is in this up to his eyeballs on what will be lightning fast bent grass greens. Reed ranks #3 in this field in Putting and also in the top ten in Bogey/Double Avoidance which will be absolutely crucial here. Expect this course to go very close to defending par each day which brings say an eight or nine under par into contention.

There are five Par 3’s on this course too, four of which are between 170-195yards and Reed is ranked #19 in this field on the Par 3’s from that distance. He just needs to hit those fairways which can be his Achilles heel but his off the tee game looked solid to finish last season. T7 and T11 to start the new season last two years. No one talking about him but we’re very bullish about Reed this week.

OUTRIGHT– PAUL CASEY EW @ 29.00/6.00

No one rates out better here than Casey which seems a little weird given the fast greens, but he actually putts really well on bent greens when they are fast, which they absolutely will be here with not a lot of wind to protect the course. Accuracy is premium here off the tee and that gives Casey a huge advantage. His double edge is he can get to the long Par 4’s no problems because he hits his 3wd long and straight as well. He doesn’t even need the putts to drop, just no 3 putts and he will contend.

TOP USA PLAYER – PATRICK REED @ 15.00

There are plenty of Euro’s and Aussies with a big show this week but if JT doesn’t contend, the American field is wide open. Spieth, Finau and Woodland have their issues finding fairways whilst Tiger is fresh off a long spell. Thomas is not far behind in terms of fairways hit, which leaves Reed at amazing odds. When Reed’s long irons are on he has the ability to keep the ball low and stay on the short stuff and I expect him to work out really quick that that’s the way to play here. He is #3 in putting (bent, fast) in this field, #19 Par 3 Scoring 175-200yrds (there are 4 on this course!) and perhaps most importantly, ranks #11/#5 in Bogey/Double avoidance in this field.
