22:00 PHI 76ers @ BOS Celtics
BOS Celtics
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.24
Lose
-50
The Boston Celtics are currently top of the ECA with a 22-7 record and welcome the Philadelphia 76ers who are 10-17. The Celtics should win this one with home advantage.
19:30 MIN Timberwolves @ DAL Mavericks
DAL Mavericks
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.48
Lose
-50
The Dallas Mavericks had an easy win against the Portland Trail Blazers last game (132-108) and host the Minnesota Timberwolves, who lost 104-117 to the Atlanta Hawks. The Mavericks can strengthen their position, which is currently 19-10 in the WCS, with a win here.
17:00 SA Spurs @ NY Knicks
NY Knicks
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.26
Win
13
The New York Knicks are coming off a good win against the Raptors and should be too strong for the San Antonio Spurs. The Knicks are currently 19-10 with the Spurs at 15-14. The spread is also tempting at -9 at just below evens but will stick to the money line odds.

Thunder of the WCN are 22-5 and should really be winning this game against the Wizards of the ECS, who are struggling at 4-22.

Scott Williams to win a tight contest here against former champion Rob Cross. This could be an excellent game and hopefully both players turn up firing!

It really wouldn't surprise me if all the games tonight went to the wire. Scott Williams loves the big stage and he has a great opportunity here to cause yet another shock at the championship.

@2.00

This has the makings of a cracking match, and hopefully both players perform tonight. Scott Williams on his own has the capabilities of hitting more than 9.50 180s, so this looks like a decent bet.
20:45 Dave Chisnall vs Ricky Evans
Ricky Evans
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@3.00
Win

Dave Chisnall has not been in great form of late, but neither has Ricky Evans. At the odds, I think Rapid Ricky looks a decent bet, and if he gets a lead, he might be hard to peg back.
Ricky Evans to win 3-2

A night of good close games is expected and another shock on the cards here. Ricky Evans to take the win but he will be pushed all the way.

Rapid Ricky doesn't hang about and I think he has a decent chance of hitting more 180s than Dave Chisnall. At the odds he certainly looks more value.

@1.95

A game that could go all the way tonight, and both players are capable of firing in a few 180s. If it does go the distance, then I expect more than 8.50 180s.
20:00 Daryl Gurney vs Florian Hempel
Florian Hempel
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.50
Lose
-50
I think Hempel might just cause an upset here against a resurgent Daryl Gurney. Hempel won his first round match and that will fill him with confidence and another seed looks vulnerable.
Florian Hempel to win 3-2
Leg Betting

Florian Hempel to cause a mini shock and send another seed tumbling. This could be a decent match with Daryl Gurney back to playing something like his best over the past few months.
Over 8.50

@2.00
Win
50
I think we have seen lots of one-sided matches so far, but tonight I think we will see some close encounters of the darting kind. This could go all the way, and if that is the case, over 8.50 180s looks a decent wager.
19:15 Gian van Veen vs Ricardo Pietreczko
Gian van Veen to win 3-2
Leg Betting
50 WIN
@5.00
Lose
-50
Hopefully we will see a quality match here and I think Gian van Veen will take the victory but only after being pushed all the way. Ricardo Pietreczko did well last year but hasn't really been in the same kind of form this time.

This match has got the look of a good close game, and the same can be said about the most 180s. At the odds, I think the draw looks the value here.

If this game goes the distance like I think it might, then the over 7.5 x 180s looks to be the bet. Both players are capable of hitting a few 180s when they are on song.
15:00 Jonny Clayton vs Mickey Mansell
Jonny Clayton
Most 180s
50 WIN
@1.67
Win

Jonny Clayton is ranked 7th in the world and is usually good for a few 180s. He takes on Mickey Mansell today who only hit 1 x 180 in his first round 3-1 win.
14:15 Josh Rock vs Rhys Griffin
Josh Rock to win 3-1
Leg Betting
50 WIN
@3.25
Lose
-50
Rhys Griffin was allowed to dominate a poor performing Karel Sedlacek in their first round match. I don't see this being the case against Josh Rock who I believe will win this match but Griffin may make him work for it.
Over 8.50
Total 180s
50 WIN
@2.05

-50
This match could provide a load of 180s especially if it goes to 4 or even 5 sets. Rhys Griffin hit 8 x 180s in his first round 3-0 win and Josh Rock is more than capable of hitting his fair share.
13:30 Andrew Gilding vs Martin Lukeman

This looks like a match that could go all the way to a final set. While I favor Lukeman for the win, it could be down to who holds their nerve best.
Martin Lukeman to win 3-2
Leg Betting
50 WIN
@4.50
Lose
-50
This could be a close game and while Martin Lukeman was not very convincing in his first match he was under the weather. Hopefully he will have recovered now and can put in a better performance. Andrew Gilding is capable of a good game and he won't be a pushover in this at all but I can see Lukeman edging this in a deciding set.
Martin Lukeman
Most 180s

Martin Lukeman is more than capable on his day of hitting a few 180s, more so than Andrew Gilding. Therefore, at odds on, I think this is a worthwhile bet.

Alexis Toylo 2.50
Handicap 2-way

Alexis Toylo won his first round match against Richard Veenstra 3-0 and while he starts this game the underdog he's shown enough to suggest he can win at least a set here.

Krzysztof Ratajski starts this match a worthy favourite but from what we've seen so far in this tournament you shouldn't write off the underdog. Alexis Toylo has every chance of taking this to at least 4 sets.

Alexis Toylo hit 3 x 180s in his first match, which he won 3-0, and they were all in the first set. If he can replicate that in a match I expect to go to at least 4 sets, there is a good chance over 5.50 180s will be achieved.

Dimitri van den Bergh
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN

Dimitri van den Bergh looks the likely winner of this match against Dylan Slevin. The Irishman caused a mini upset when he beat his compatriot the other day but I don't see him beating the Belgian.
Dimitri van den Bergh -1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@2.00
Win

Dimitri van den Bergh can take this match and proceed to the next round where he would play the winner of Schindler v Rydz. Slevin will have all on to cause an upset here but he might well pick up a set.
Dimitri van den Bergh to win 3-1

@3.75

Dimitri to advance to the next round, but I feel that Dylan Slevin might well pick up a set. Still only 30 years old, he won the UK Open earlier this year, and he should be too strong for the Irishman.
20:45 Gary Anderson vs Jeffrey De Graaf
Gary Anderson
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN

Gary Anderson should take this match and proceed to the next round where he could face Ross Smith. Jeffrey de Graaf will need Anderson to be off his game in order to produce a shock.

Gary Anderson is a hot favorite to win this match, and De Graaf will have to improve massively on his first-round match to cause any problems. Gary to take this match 3-0 and march into the third round.

Gary Anderson is one of the favourites for the tournament and has been playing very well of late. Jeffrey De Graaf will have all on to stop The Flying Scotsman. I can see this match being a straight sets victory for Anderson.

The Flying Scotsman will be up for this game tonight and expect him to come 'flying out of the traps'. I expect a straight sets victory and therefore the first set win too.

Gary Anderson has been playing well this season and I expect him to come through this encounter without too much fuss. Jeffrey De Graaf is a decent player but made hard work of his win against Rashad Sweeting the other day.

Ross Smith is usually a big 180 hitter and I expect him to win this market quite comfortably. Paolo Nebrida only hit one maximum over 5 sets in his win against Jim Williams.

Callan Rydz
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.15

More of the same from Callan Rydz and he will win again. Rydz was very good the other day but Martin Schindler is a tougher cookie. This could be a good game but I think Rydz will take this.
Callan Rydz 1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@1.53
Win

Callan Rydz produced the best game of the championship so far in his win over Romeo Grbavac. More of the same and he should win this match comfortably but even a lesser performance might well be enough to see off Martin Schindler.
Callan Rydz to win 3-1
Leg Betting
50 WIN
@5.50

Callan Rydz produced the kind of game we saw from him back in 2022, and hopefully, he can repeat that again tonight. Martin Schindler is a good player, and don't expect him to go down without a fight.

17:00 Atalanta v Empoli
Atalanta
Atalanta can regain the top spot with a victory today against 10th placed Empoli. Winners of their last six matches, only Inter have scored more goals in Serie A.
15:00 Ritchie Edhouse vs Ian White
Ritchie Edhouse -1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@2.10
Lose
-50
Ritchie Edhouse has had a brilliant season and had a breakthrough victory at the European Championship. When he won that title, he beat Van Veen, Michael Smith, Anderson, Woodhouse, and Wattimena, so it was no gimme! Ian White is not the force of old and has never really looked convincing on the stage. That being said, he did beat MVG at the Players Championship Finals 6-1, recording a 102.69, but those performances from him are quite rare. It won't have helped him that he hasn't had the advantage of a first-round match, which was declared a walkover.

Leg Betting
50 WIN

-50
Ritchie Edhouse is in great form this season, and if he hits the ground running here, I can see a 3-0 victory. Diamond can play some good darts, but he has usually left his best game for the floor.
14:15 Joe Cullen vs Wessel Nijman
Joe Cullen 1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@2.10
Win
55
Joe Cullen usually plays some cracking darts at the Palace and although he's had a very quiet season you can't write him off entirely. I do think Nijman will win the match but I can see this being another nail biter for him and a 5 set thriller.

I was very impressed with Wessel Nijman's first round victory over Cameron Carolissen. Not many gave the South African any chance but he surprised and played extremely well. Nijman remained composed and threw a superb leg of darts against the throw to win in a final leg thriller. Today's match could be a cracker if the real Joe Cullen turns up which he usually does at the Palace.

I think these odds are too good to turn down knowing how good a player Joe Cullen is on his day. He might well have his work cut out to win the match but I think it could be game of the day.
14:00 Everton v Chelsea
Chelsea
Chelsea are serious challengers for the title this season. Although Everton shut out Arsenal last time, I think they will struggle to do the same today. Top scorers in the league with 37 goals from 16 games, Chelsea have won their last five matches on the bounce.
14:00 Fulham v Southampton
Fulham

-50
It's hard to see anything other than a home win here as Fulham host Southampton. The visitors have picked up one point in their last six matches and will struggle to get anything from this game.

Dirk van Duijvenbode to win 3-1
Leg Betting
50 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-50
It's good to see Dirk van Duijvenbode back on top form recently and his power scoring should be too much for Madars Razma. Razma beat Christian Kist in the first round 3-1 and he can hopefully pick up a set today.
Over 8.50
Total 180s

@2.05

Dirk van Duijvenbode is usually good for a few 180s and if Madars Razma can steal a set (or more) today then the over 8.50 180s looks good value.
12:45 Ryan Searle vs Matt Campbell
Ryan Searle to win 3-1
Leg Betting
50 WIN
@3.25
Lose
-50
Ryan Searle should win this game, but it might not be as straightforward as the odds suggest. Matt Campbell won his first match against Mensur Suljovic 3-2, recording a 93.31 average. Similar form here, and he should be winning at least a set.
Draw

This could well be a closer game than what the bookmakers' odds suggest. If there are 4 sets or more, then the over 6.5 180s looks like a decent bet.
12:00 Dundee Utd v Celtic
Celtic
Celtic will move 11 points clear with a win today as they march on towards yet another Scottish Premiership title. Dundee United currently sit 5th with just the one loss in their last six matches which was last time out.
11:15 Sparta Rotterdam v Ajax
Ajax
Ajax will keep the pressure on PSV at the top of the table with a victory away to Sparta Rotterdam today. With one loss in their last six matches, they will move to within 3 points of the lead with a win.
