Predictions and Betting Preview for Milwaukee Bucks VS San Antonio Spurs NBA Regular Season Game  Venue: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin When: Thursday, March 22nd, 2023 Time: 17:00 GMT Teams to play: Milwaukee Bucks and San Antonio Spurs NBA Expert Picks: SPREAD -17.5 Odds by BetMGM and 1XBet. Betting On Milwaukee Bucks Regular Season Record: 51-20 1XBet Spread: -17.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.075 1XBet Over/Under: Over 238.5 BetMGM Spread: -17.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.04 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 237.5 The Milwaukee Bucks reaffirmed their stance as being one of the best teams in the NBA. Even with their star players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton out due to physical challenges, they enter tonight’s game as the Eastern Conference leaders. Holding a narrow lead over the Boston Celtics. Milwaukee defeated the Toronto Raptors 111-118 in their last game, thanks to an incredible performance in the last quarter, where they won  16-29. In that match, Anetokounmpo and Middleton were the best players with 22 and 20 points scored respectively. Giannis registered a triple-double by contributing 10 assists and 13 rebounds. Betting On The San Antonio Spurs Regular Season Record: 18-52 1XBet Spread: +17.5 1XBet Moneyline: 10.05 1XBet Over/Under: Under 238.5 BetMGM Spread: +17.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 11.00 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 237.5 The San Antonio Spurs are still a disaster, wearing the third-worst record in the NBA like a medal while ranking second to last in the Western Conference. But, they have brought some relief to their followers, like a surprising home 118-126 win over the Atlanta Hawks on March 19, a record that gave them some hope about ending on the right note this season. Doing this will be the only good way for the Spurs to thrive in a campaign where they have one of the worst offenses in the NBA, at 112.8 points scored per game, and in which they have the worst defensive record in the NBA, allowing opposing teams shoot 50.4% from the field and conceding an average of 122.1 points against per game. MatchPlug Prediction  In spite of San Antonio’s efforts to be a more competitive team, they remain flawed, ridden with an unreliable offense and a defense that is lax. It doesn’t help their case that they would be facing Milwaukee which is one of the best teams in the league. The Bucks have a whopping 29-7 record at home and an average of 119.6 points scored per match. Due to this record, experts expect the Bucks to dominate the game from the beginning, putting the Spurs’ defense up for destruction, and Milwaukee winning an easy victory in tonight’s game. Final Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks Spread.

don't'a hightower patriots linebacker retires

Dont’a Hightower, Patriots linebacker, three-time Super Bowl champion announces retirement

Dont’a Hightower has officially announced his retirement from National Football League, after playing for 9 seasons on the field; he wrote a retirement letter to The Players’ Tribune on Tuesday. “Today, I am officially retiring from the NFL,” Hightower wrote. “I know these announcements always feel bittersweet, but I can’t think of a better story than the one I wrote in New England. A decade, three Super Bowls, two Pro Bowls, and the birth of my son — all playing for one franchise. How many guys have a story like that? “So this is a happy day for me, and I just wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate you embracing a Southern kid from Lewisburg, Tennessee.” Hightower has been an essential tackler for the Patriots’ defense, he earned two Pro Bowls to further solidify his ring and generated 569 total tackles, 27 sacks and one career interception. He won two national championships in college at Alabama too. Read Aaron Rodgers; My intention is to play for New York Jets; exit from Green Bay Packers ‘a matter of time’ Before his Pro Bowl 2019 campaign, Hightower opted to sit out the 2020 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He came back in 2021, playing 15 games, and earning 64 tackles and 1.5 sacks. In 2022, he did not play. In Hightower’s first Super Bowl victory over the Seattle Seahawks, as a player for the Patriots, he made of the most unsung plays of the game, tripping Marshawn Lynch at the 1-yard line. The play set up Malcolm Butler’s famous interception to seal the Lombardi Trophy for New England. If not for his tackle, that match would have ended differently. “When I look at that first ring, I think about the Marshawn tackle,” Hightower wrote of the play. “When I saw Seattle line up in that I-form, I knew Beast Mode was getting it, and I knew they’d been gashing us with that strong-side lead all game. I knew he was going to walk through a huge hole if I didn’t take a risk. It’s funny how things come full circle because when I was at Alabama, Kirby Smart used to always tell us, ‘Never ever go behind a block unless you’re sure you’re going to make a play.’ “Well, I wasn’t sure. But I figured we had nothing to lose. So I ripped up under Okung and shot my shot. All I saw was Marshawn’s two legs churning, and I just prayed to God that I could clip him up or something. I reached out … and you already know what happened next.” What happened next was that Dont’a Hightower went ahead to secure the first of the three Super Bowls which he would win later on.  Hightower now joins the Patriots’ all-time greats.

NHL Expert Picks; Detroit Red Wings VS Florida Panthers Predictions Today

Detroit Red Wings VS Florida Panthers maybe thanks to the NHL,  but it was a 6-game point streak and 5 victories that led the Panthers (4th in Atlantic Division)  to Detroit, where Red Wings (7th in Atlantic) will be waiting to secure their 3rd victory in the last 12 matches. If you’re betting on this game, use these NHL Predictions Today by MatchPlug for Detroit and Florida. Find the picks, and odds too carefully laid out by experts. Detroit Red Wings VS Florida Panthers Preview NHL Regular Season Venue: Little Caesars Arena, Detroit Date: Monday, March 20th, 2023 Time: 16:00 GMT Teams to play: Red Wings and Panthers NHL Picks: SPREAD -1.5 Odds as provided by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On The Detroit Red Wings Season Record: 30-29-9 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Total: Over 6.5 1XBet Moneyline: 3.24 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Total: Under 6.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.55 The Detroit Red Wings lost for the second consecutive time, for the third match in their past four games (1-3-0) and for the ninth time in their last 11 (2-8-1) after a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on their home ice on Saturday. Pius Suter (12 goals, 20 points this year) delivered a tie at 1-1 at 6:55 of the opening minutes, before Colorado scored two markers in the following two periods, plus a power-play strike and a shorty.  The Red Wings who forfeited a league-high 12 short-handed tallies this season, now place nine points behind the Pittsburgh Penguins for the 2nd Wild Card spot of the Eastern Conference, with one game in hand. Goaltender Ville Husso (25-18-6 this season, with a 2.97 GAA and a. 901 save percentage) conceded five goals on 21 shots in 45:16 of play on Saturday before being replaced with Magnus Hellberg (3-7-1 on the season with a 3.04 GAA and a .917 save percentage), who turned aside two shots. Hellberg has never played the Panthers before, while Husso has already posted a 0-1-1 career total against them with a 3.04 GAA and a .917 save percentage. The Red Wings are 10th in the least goals netted per game in 2022 -23 (2.93), 15th in most goals allowed on average (3.25), 18th in power play (20.9%) and 19th in penalty kill (78.2%).

Florida gave up two snipes in the second period to go 2-0 down before burying four unanswered markers in the last frame, plus three in a span of 2:30 to take a 3-2 lead ahead of an empty-netter 21 seconds from time. Sam Reinhart (26 goals, 51 points this year) tallied twice for the Panthers, now trailing the Pittsburgh Penguins for the 2nd Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference by a single point. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky dispelled 33 shots last Saturday, registering a 23-17-3 total for the season with a 3.00 GAA and a .904 save percentage. He picked up a 23-6-1 past record against Detroit with a 1.87 GAA and a .938 save percentage. Alex Lyon on the other hand (3-2-1 on the season with a 3.89 GAA and a .892 save percentage) is historically  0-0-1 against the Red Wings. Lyon has a 1.73 GAA and a .917 save percentage.  The Panthers are 4th in most goals scored per game this campaign (3.48), 10th in most goals forfeited on average (3.36), 13th in power play (22.2%) and 27th in penalty kill (74.2%). MatchPlug Prediction On the records, the Red Wings may stand a chance to reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season, trailing behind the 2nd-Wild Card seed, the Pittsburgh Penguins by nine points with a game in hand. However, the points, in reality, are completely different. The Red Wings dropped 9 out of its 11 decisions, losing by a margin of two tallies in 6 of them. The Florida Panthers are presently riding a four-game winning streak against opponents in the Eastern Conference, and are 12-5-1 in their most recent 18 fixtures, winning by over one strike in 7 of them.

japan vs mexico match preview

MLB BEST BETS TODAY; Japan VS Mexico World Baseball Classic Expert Picks

The winner of Japan VS Mexico will face Team USA for the World Baseball Classic title on Tuesday. So, in this preview, we will be examining the strengths of these two countries and the possibility of one of them winning tonight’s matchup. Mexico for one part has the power of Randy Arozarena and Julio Urías, but Joey Meneses and Rowdy Tellez stealing the WBC spotlight and getting labelled “Team of Destiny” seems to check out.  But, the most challenging match Mexico will play in this tournament will happen tonight in Miami which is the quarterfinal between them and present favourite Japan. There is no team with a higher OPS (.996) or a lower ERA (1.80). MatchPlug discusses this semi-final while examining how bettors should bet. We also laid out some MLB Predictions Today to help you get started on your wagering. Predictions and Betting Preview for Japan VS Mexico Pirates WBC Playoffs Venue: LoanDepot, Park, Miami When: Monday, March 20th, 2023 Time: 16:00 GMT Teams to play: Japan and Mexico MLB Expert Picks: MONEYLINE 1.4 Odds as seen on 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On Team Japan 1XBet Spread:  -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.4 1XBet Over/Under: Over 8.5 BetMGM Spread: 1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.40 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 8.5 Shohei Ohtani may have appeared for the last time for Team Japan on the mound in the WBC. This is due to him being scheduled to play in the Los Angeles Opening Day starter on March 30th. Ohtani pitching in the semis or finals would be too close to this game, so he would be the starter for the quarterfinal instead. Roki Sasaki will be starting for Team Japan in place of Ohtani. To put Sasaki’s past WBC starting in perspective; out of 66 pitches, 21 clocked at over 100 mph.  Masataka Yoshida hit a couple of hard-hit balls against Italy, Kensuke Kondoh has been shelling out extra-base hits and walks, while the star himself, Ohtani has been delivering greatness with an OBP of .625. The fine mix of MLB talent and young stars from Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball league has made Team Japan patient enough to wait till they can destroy another unsuspecting team in the WBC. Betting On Team Mexico 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 3.032 1XBet Over/Under: Under 8.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 3.00 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 8.5 Team Mexico hasn’t been tested against the kind of destruction Japan will bring for them in this tournament, except that time they played against Colombia in the opening. Guillermo Zuniga reached 102 mph, going for two strong innings, striking out four and allowing only one hit. That was the only game Mexico lost in this competition (5-4). Patrick Sandoval will begin the pitching for Mexico, he is a Los Angeles Angels left who depends on a sinker that placed top 20 in run value last season (-8), and he is a magician whose curveball spin ranked in the 87th percentile in the league last season. Sandoval is second in the Angels rotation for a good reason, behind Ohtani (this will make today’s game sensational). But, even if Sandoval can muster three or four innings, Japan has shown that there’s nothing they can’t handle. Japan has a pool of talent in a great blend of other outstanding talents who are dangerous in the field, not to mention Shohei Ohtani who has sacked many other countries in the WBC. MatchPlug Prediction Backing the favourite which is Japan, would be the smart thing to do for Japan VS Mexico. One good reason for this is Yu Darvish a world-renowned pitcher on their squad, who emerged in the quarterfinals.  Japan wanted to ensure that Italy couldn’t make a serious comeback. They deployed Darvish who is one of the most dangerous hurlers in MLB this season. He was effective of course, allowing one earned run in two innings of work. Mexico has done well in making it this far in the WBC. However, having Japan as the favourite doesn’t mean this country shouldn’t be given flowers. It only remains to be seen how they’ll fair against Japan.

Washington (15.2 points) and Dennis Smith Jr. (8.7 points, 4.7 assists) are solid contributors on the offensive end of the court. Nick Richards (7.8 points, 5.9 rebounds), LaMelo Ball (23.3 points, 8.4 assists), Theo Maledon, Cody Martin, James Bouknight and Bryce McGowens are expected to provide rotational depth for Charlotte.  The Hornets rank 28th in threes per game with 10.6 per contest and 30th in three-point field goal percentage by shooting 32.7% from beyond the arc. Martin played only 7 games this season: because he had knee surgery in November and the last time he played was on January 14th: he is still out presently. Ball had an ankle injury on February 27th while playing against the Detroit Pistons and is said to be done for the year. Bouknight also had an ankle injury played only one game since January 4th and missed the last 22 games. Williams hurt his thumb and missed four games since getting injured against Detroit.

They trailed by 11 at the half and couldn’t get closer than five in the second half before Philadelphia broke away.  Indiana scored 51.7% from the field, including 12 of 31 from a three-point range, and won the rebounding battle 41-30, while allowing the 76ers to trash them to 61.4% shooting in the contest. The Pacers were led by Aaron Nesmith with 25 points and 6 rebounds in the loss. This year, the Pacers are 11th in the league in scoring offence with 115.9 points per game for the season. They are 24th in rebounding with an average of 41.5 boards a night, and 6th in assists by giving 26.8 dimes per contest.

Betting On FC Dallas 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.06 FC Dallas secured a priceless point during their visit to face the Whitecaps in Vancouver, thanks to the goal by Nigeria’s Sebastien Ibeagha, one of the team’s major powerhouses the current season. Ibeagha joined Dallas after playing for LAFC, the team won the league and cup last campaign. He is now just 3 games away from completing 100 games in his MLS career. In the two home games they’ve played, FC Dallas scored one win and one loss, with 3 goals scored and two given up.

Betting On Sporting Kansas City 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 3.5 Sporting Kansas City will be playing today’s game after two successive scoreless draws against LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids, which indicates that the defense works perfectly, but their offensive power is lacking. To worsen the situation, some Kansas City players are wounded and exhausted. Tim Melia, Logan Ndenbe, Kortne Ford, Johnny Russel, Gadi Kinda, and Alan Pulido are the players having physical challenges. In two road games, Sporting had one draw and one loss, no goals scored and one conceded. Possible Lineup (4-4-2): John Pulskamp, Ben Sweat, Andreu Fontas, Robert Voloder, Graham Zusi; Daniel Salloi, Remi Walter, Roger Espinoza, Marinos Tzinos; Erik Thommy, William Agada. MatchPlug Prediction October 9 of the previous season was the last time these clubs met; during that match, FC Dallas won by a score of 2-1, with Sebastian Lletget, and Paul Arriola scoring goals for them, Graham Zusi scored a goal for Sporting Kansas City. Due to Kansas City’s offensive problems and likely player absences in this game, some experts are gravitating towards a win-by-minimum difference for FC Dallas.

MLS Matchday 4 Prediction: Houston Dynamo VS Austin FC Predictions

A unique matchup is scheduled between Houston Dynamo VS Austin FC; two Texan rivals. When compared to the past season, nothing much has changed for these clubs. While Austin’s confidence continues to improve, Houston began the season on the wrong footing and hasn’t won a game. Austin secured victories in the past 3 games against this team, so this is Dynmo’s shot to reap from this dominance. MatchPlug brings the Best Betting Tips Today and MLS Predictions for Houston and Austin, including possible lineups, predictions, and odds too.

Betting On Houston Dynamo 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.23 Houston Dynamo has been tagged as the Western Conference’s worst team after appearing for two games in this campaign. Besides CF Montreal and Charlotte, Dynamo is the other club that has lost every match it has played so far, making them the only ones without points on their record. Last season, they ended with a 1-3 loss to LA Galaxy, and now have three consecutive losses in all competitions; doomed to repeat the past. But, on the upside, Houston will have a chance this matchup to make its home debut. Their last home game was in five months and it’s been six months since their previous win, but maybe playing on their home field can boost their confidence. Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Steve Clark, Griffin Dorsey, Ethan Bartlow, Teenage Hadebe, Tate Schmitt, Héctor Herrera, Adalberto Carrasquilla, Artur; Corey Baird,  Porleifur Úlfarsson, Iván Franco. Betting On Austin FC 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 3.03 Austin FC had a fantastic season in 2022 and is maintaining that same performance this campaign. In spite of a 3-2 loss to St. Louis City, they have scaled through the subsequent matches, so they are entering this game with two successive victories. However, Austin has been dealt an emotional blow that could affect them for Houston Dynamo VS Austin FC, because while they won 2-0 against Violette in the CONCACAF Champions League, they were expelled in the round of 16 by a 3-2 aggregate score. That defeat they didn’t bargain for, but now, that loss will keep them focused on the local tournament. In the 3 MLS games, Austin FC has played, they’ve scored at least one goal in every match; with a total of 5 goals, the team has the 4th most goals in the Western Conference. Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Brad Stuver; Jon Gallagher, Alexander Ring, Leo Väisänen, Zan Kolmanic; Owen Wolff, Daniel Pereira Gil; Emiliano Rigoni, Sebastián Driussi, Ethan Finlay; Gyasi Zardes. MatchPlug Prediction As the home team, Houston Dynamo will be extended the courtesy of being the team expected to get its first win of the season in this game.  However, the head-to-head record reinforces an Austin supremacy of four wins in five games. No matter the winner, there is a chance that an Over will be covered. More From The MLS: MLS Matchday 4 Prediction: FC Dallas VS Sporting Kansas City Predictions

No doubt, that loss dampened their spirits, as it was the first time they played against a strong team and emerged from the game as losers. However, losing to Los Angeles wasn’t the most embarrassing part of the game: they shot just once and didn’t come up with any threatening moves. Furthermore, their defense failed the team, as New England was attacked at goal 18 times and, if not for the intervention of Dorde Petrovice, who made some great saves, they would have suffered a bigger loss. Possible Lineup (4-3-2-1): Dorde Petrovic; Brandon Bye, Henry Kessler, Dave Romney, DeJuan Jones; Latif Blessing, Matt Polster, Noel Buck; Gustavo Bou; Dylan Borrero, Bobby Wood. Betting On Nashville FC: 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.965 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 2.5 Bet MGM Moneyline: 2.95 Nashville FC remains unbeaten this season, spotting two wins and one draw against the New York Red Bulls. The team has a great performance and is practical because they make things easy for everyone. Nashville is described as cold and meticulous, with two victories that mirror each other. When playing NYFC, Nashville won 2-0, and they scored in the first half, dictating the pace of the game. Additionally, New York FC’s desperation to equalize the scores, caused Nashville to score the second goal in the 80th minute. The last game with Montreal was similar: they scored in the 37th minute and didn’t score a second goal until the 89th minute. Whenever Nashville FC is in the lead, it is difficult to stop them. Possible Lineup: (4-2-3-1): Joe Willis; Shaq Moore, Walker Zimmerman, Jack Maher, Daniel Lovitz; San Davis, Dax McCarthy, Fafa Picault, Hany Mukhtar, Jacob Shaffelburg, Teal Bunbury. MatchPlug Prediction New England is a little shaken up, while their opponent Nashville stays pragmatic and confident.  Experts believe that Nashville FC will win the New England Revolution in a way, New England won’t recover from or equalize.  More From MLS: MLS Matchday 4 Prediction: FC Dallas VS Sporting Kansas City Predictions

Predictions and Betting Preview for Denver Nuggets Vs New York Knicks NBA Regular Season Game  Venue: Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, New York When: Saturday, March 18th, 2023 Time: 10:00 GMT Teams to play: Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks NBA Expert Picks: MONEYLINE 1.83 Odds by BetMGM and 1XBet. Betting On The Denver Nuggets Regular Season Record: 47-23 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.83 1XBet Over/Under: Under 228.5 BetMGM Spread: -1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: Over 230.5 BetMGM Over/Under: 1.78 The Denver Nuggets are now in first position in the Western Conference, but a series of adverse results could jeopardize their position. After four successive losses, the Nuggets went back to being winners in a match against the Detroit Pistons, who are last in the division. They are recovering from a difficult loss suffered at the hands of the Toronto Raptors, by a 110-125 score. On road, Denver’s streak is also adverse. In the last five games they played, the Nuggets lost three of them. Additionally, they have a negative 16-17 record playing away from home. These numbers encourage you to wager on the home team in this Nuggets VS Knicks game. Nikola Jokić is the team’s standard-bearer, and the high-scoring players in the Nuggets squad are their best weapons. So, with an average of 116.8 points per game, Denver has the seventh-best offense in the NBA. Although, their defense has increasing problems, as they have given up over 113 units per game, the 13th-best record in this category. Betting On The New York Knicks Regular Season Record: 41-30 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.22 1XBet Over/Under: Over 228.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: Under 230.5 BetMGM Over/Under: 2.05 The New York Knicks got back on track after giving three poor performances. The team is on a two-game winning streak, after scoring victories against the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers. The game against the Trail Blazers featured Immanuel Quickley as the top scorer with 26 points and 10 rebounds. Tom Thibodeau and his squad’s unfinished business going into today’s game, is their 19-6 home record in Manhattan. But, in the last five games they played on their court, they won all four of them. New York only lost 105-112 against the Charlotte Hornets, a game they wasted a 16-unit lead at the end of the first half. MatchPlug Prediction  While the Nuggets and Knicks are in two different situations, the quality of players on the Denver squad can turn the match in their favour. But, the leverage New York has is in the consistency they’ve demonstrated this season. Although they are not one of the 10 best offenses in the NBA and are only the 9th most relevant defense in the campaign, the Knicks won 12 out of their last 15 matches. Furthermore, the best performance the New Yorkers ever gave, was on the road. The difficulties sinking the Denver Nuggets are why experts have predicted a close win for the Knicks. But what do the sportsbooks say? Check out the odds for each team, to find out who they’ve favoured for this matchup.
