Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (Series)

A rematch of last year’s Western Conference Finals comes with a twist: Luka Dončić is now in purple and gold. His pairing with LeBron James makes the Lakers a serious title threat. But the Timberwolves, led by Anthony Edwards and newly reinforced with Julius Randle, are chasing redemption. The regular season ended in a 2-2 split, and this series could go the distance.

Everton vs. Manchester City (April 20, 2025)

Everton hosts Manchester City in a must-win for both sides—Everton in their fight for survival, and City in their push to stay in the title race. City’s depth and attacking power make them favorites, but Everton’s desperation at home could make things interesting. Expect pressure from the first whistle.

Why bet on this? City will likely control the match, but Everton’s intensity could open up value in alternative markets.

Saudi Arabian Grand Prix (April 20, 2025)

The F1 grid heads to Jeddah for one of the fastest street circuits in the world. After a strong start from McLaren in Bahrain, all eyes are on Piastri and Norris to keep the momentum. Red Bull’s Verstappen is also out to reclaim his dominance on a track he’s thrived on before.

Why bet on this? Jeddah tends to shake up the grid—look for surprise podiums or bold head-to-head picks.
