Daily Sports Tips – Wednesday, May 23

Golden State will be out to ram home their advantage when they take on the Rockets at the Oracle Centre. A win for the Warriors would put them on the cusp of another NBA Finals appearance and the Rockets will be desperate to level the series, before heading back to Houston. Steph Curry was devastating in game three of the series, recording a game-high 35-points. I’m backing the Warriors to get the job done and continue their outstanding form at home with another victory in the postseason.

Sam Stosur will be looking for a win in her build-up to the French Open when she comes up against compatriot Daria Gavilova in the round of 16 in Strasbourg. Stosur has had an inconsistent season the clay circuit, dropping matches at the Rome and Madrid Masters Stosur has been impressive in this tournament and her experience gives her the edge against an opponent who is playing her second game inside of three days. I’m backing Stosur to get the win and challenge for the title before the main event in Paris.

The Red Sox have been in outstanding form, hitting 24 runs across their last four games. Boston have found some consistency and should prove to be too strong on the road for the Rays. In the IPL Finals series, the Knight Riders will be looking to dominate a Royals side who will be without Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes. Aussie Chris Lynn has been running hot at the top of the order and expect the Aussie to power the Knight Riders into the final for a shot at the title. The Nationals play host to the Padres and will be looking to build on their 10-2 victory in the opening game of the series with another dominant performance.
