No matter the discipline or region, All Star Games are show events where everybody is expecting to see a quality show.
The story will be told again tonight, when East and West will place creativity higher than rigurous defense and the result will be a triple digit final score.
However, the line set for tonight game by the bookmakers, 237 is a little to high for a European All Star Game. The directors of the show will be the guards, which will need some time to create the show. Admitting that there will be a high number of slam dunks, and counter attacks, we still have to consider that the guards will find them selves in the situation of 20 seconds attack, and 237 limit seems to high here.
We will go for a 230 points tops tonight.
Under 237 points 1.87 @ 10bet

Wachovia Center from Philadelphia will host tonight the clash between 76ers and Miami Heat.
The home team comes after a close 99-97 victory at Memphis, while Miami lost their 20th match of this season last night at Cleveland, becoming the worst team in the Eastern Conference with 0.286.
The good news for the Heatis that Wade is 100% back from injury problems, and is averaging in the last matches over 35 minutes per game, and mentains over 20 points per game. Another key player for tonight’s game will be Haslem, which is the main defense player since Alonso Mourning is out.
Phili on the other hand is at 0.400 this season, and even though Iguodala si averaging 18.2 ppg and Miller is above all expectations, 76ers without Allen Iverson seem like a team with no target
Miami needs a victory, and Wade can do it tonight. A little help from Shaq or Haslem, and Heat shouldn’t have a great problem here.
Our pick Miami 2.35 @ Bwin.

Liverpool will visit Marseilles on Tuesday evening, for a final attempt to qualify for the next Champions League stage.
After losing the game from Anfiled against OM, Liverpool are in a must win situation tonight. In the other match of the group Porto will host Besiktas, and no matter the result from that match, one of these two teams will go to the next round. If one place is booked, OM and Liverpool are fighting for the second place. OM needs 1 point, as they qualify over Liverpool in case of a draw thanks to the better results in H2H games (Liverpool - OM 0-1 in the first match).
The Reds have only one option for this game, and that is victory. I have no doubt that Rafa Benitez will prepare this match as he knows best, and Liverpool will pass this dark period, and get their well deserved place for the next stage.
My bet for this match: Liverpool 1.85 @ Ladbrokes
0-4 Pick Won

This is the 5th match for Miami from their Western trip, and they lost the first 4, and are on a total losing streak of 5 games. Two nights ago I backed them at Golden State, but the lack of concentration, made them lose the game in the final quarter, after they were leading for 3 quarters.
They have 2 more matches in the Western Conference, tonight at Clippers and tomorrow night at Phoenix. If Miami won’t get the victory tonight at Clippers, I see it much more difficult to win on Suns ground.
2 nights ago I laid my expectations on Cook and Hardaway, but none of them backed my expectation. Tonight I will try again, but I will go for Cook and Wade. DW really seems to be back on track with more than 20 ppg and 10 rebs in the last 3 matches.
As Miami does, the Clippers also pass a bad period, as they just managed to finish a 7 games losing streak with a victory in Sacramento last night. But unlike Miami, they play terrible lately, and can’t blame bad luck or strong opponents for their losing streak.
My pick for tonight - Miami -2.5, 1.97 @ Pinnacle
Pick won 94-100

MGM Grand from Las Vegas will host the most important event of the year - the great clash between Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather and Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton.
The Hitman from Manchester has 43 victories and 32 KO. Pretty boy has 38 victories and 24 KO, but by far the most important fight of his career was the one against Oscar de la Hoya earlier this year, which he won by a split decision, but was highly contested by many people.
However, on Saturday evening, the home crowd will be on Mayweather’s side, andeven though many see Hatton as a good rival, I doubt he will stand 12 rounds in front of Pretty Boy.
My pick for the Saturday match: Floyd Mayweather, 8 units, 1.57 @ PartyBets, Sportingbet, StanJames.
Pick won
