Red-hot Warriors take on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden! With Steph shining and their defense locked in, Golden State looks unstoppable. Can New York rise to the challenge? The red-hot Golden State Warriors head to the mecca of basketball, Madison Square Garden, for an exciting showcase against the New York Knicks. It’s almost impossible to fade the Warriors with the way they’re playing right now. They’re going out there and just dominating each and every game. The Warriors are 8-1 in the games Jimmy has played for them this season with their only loss coming to the Mavericks. Their defensive intensity has picked up with Draymond, Podziemzki and Butler playing together and Steph is just doing Steph things on the other end of the floor. The Knicks on the other hand have finally gotten their groove as of late - winning three straight games. Prior to this win streak, the Knicks were struggling due to the number of injuries they had to their key players.  With the Knicks finding their groove again and playing at home, I expect them to slow down the Golden State Warriors tomorrow. I believe Towns will cause all sorts of problems for the Warriors defense and New York’s elite perimeter defenders in OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges will make sure to limit the Warriors’ perimeter guys. Sanjay’s Pick: New York Knicks -4.5 Hot Trends: The Knicks are 5-1 SU against a Western Conference opponent in their last six games. Current Odds: Spread: Golden State Warriors+4.5 | New York Knicks -4.5 Moneyline: Golden State Warriors 2.31  | New York Knicks 1.60 Total: Over 231.5 | Under 231.5 Odds via Arena Plus.

Betting preview: The Kings, riding a 3-game win streak, take on the Mavericks, who are struggling without their frontcourt depth. Can Sacramento capitalize on Dallas’ rebounding woes? Running score: 13-11 The Sacramento Kings are heading to downtown Dallas for a showdown with both teams missing their key frontcourt stars - No Anthony Davis for Dallas and no Domatas Sabonis for Sacramento. The Kings have finally picked up some momentum winning three straight games. Although, in their last match-up, they lost their center Domatas Sabonis early in the game. They were still able to outduel the Houston Rockets with back-up center Jonas Valanciunas filling the void scoring 15 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. The star-duo of Derozan and Lavine contributed 21 and 20 points respectively. The Mavericks on the other hand are coming off a tough home loss to the Bucks. Outside of Kyrie Irving’s consistent effort, the rest of the Mavericks have yet to find their groove. Klay Thompson has picked it up averaging 19 points per game in their last three outings, but their front court is absolutely depleted and as a result they were outrebounded 52-33 in their last game. With the Kings riding their 3 game winning streak, seemingly finding their rhythm at the perfect time, I love the Kings in tomorrow’s match-up. I feel like the loss of the Mavericks’ frontcourt will be too difficult to overcome whereas for the Kings, Jonas can somewhat produce atleast half of Domas’ output. Sanjay’s Pick: Sacramento Kings+1.5 Hot Trends: The Kings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Kings are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games against Dallas. Current Odds: Spread: Sacramento Kings+1.5 | Dallas Mavericks -1.5 Moneyline: Sacramento Kings 1.94  | Dallas Mavericks 1.86 Over/Under: Over 231.5 | Under 231.5 Odds via Arena Plus.

Clippers vs. Suns: Get the latest odds, betting lines, and expert predictions for this Western Conference showdown. Can Phoenix's Big 3 overcome the Kawhi-led Clippers? A western conference showdown between two heavyweights as the Los Angeles Clippers visit the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, January 28. The Clippers have been a surprise this season, being able to stay afloat in the Western Conference standings despite not having their best player, Kawhi Leonard. With the recent return of Kawhi, they have been 6-1 with their only loss coming to the Timberwolves. The Suns started their season 8-2 and since then have been hit by one injury after another struggling to find any consistency. Although, entering this match-up both teams are almost at full strength. The trio of Beal, Booker and Durant have proven that they can win when playing together. However, their biggest challenge has been injuries, with the 3 of them playing in less than half of the Suns games. Phoenix has gone 7-3 in their last 10 games and seems like they’ve found a big man to compliment their star-studded scoring threats. The addition of Nick Richards has been great for the Suns as he’s been controlling the boards. In his four games with the Suns, Richards has averaged 13.3 pts/game and 12.3 rebs/game. With all that being said, I do love the Suns in this match-up tomorrow. With them playing at home, I see them matching-up really well with the Clippers. Richards should match-up with Zubac and the big-three of Durant, Booker and Beal should be able to outduel the Clippers’ trio of Leonard, Powell and Harden. Odds: Spread: Phoenix +1.0 | Clippers -1.0 Moneyline: Phoenix 1.98 | Los Angeles 1.82 Over/Under: Over 223.5 | Under 223.5 Odds from Arena Plus. Hot trends: The Suns are 7-3 straight up (SU) in their Last 10 match-ups against the Clippers. The Suns are 4-0 straight up (SU) in their last 4 home games The Clippers are 1-4 straight up (SU) in their last 5 home games. Sanjay’s pick:  Phoenix Suns +1.0 Read related article: Pelicans vs. Raptors Prediction, Picks & Odds - January 28, 2025

Macau gaming operator lays off local employees without explanation, sparking concerns over job security, corporate responsibility, and government oversight. Six local workers from a Macau casino company's office staff asked lawmakers for help after getting fired without warning on February 28th, according to a Chinese language report by   allinmedia .   The company did not tell them why they lost their jobs, nor did they offer other positions, lawmaker Lam U Tou claimed.  The fired workers said other departments in the company are also cutting jobs. Rumors that the government secretly allowed casino companies to cut staff also spread. Five of Macau's six casino companies have started firing non-gaming workers, with only one company not yet making cuts. For Lam, the company broke its duty to support local jobs. He also urged the government to look into the matter and help get the workers their jobs back. How are Macau’s casinos currently faring out? Macau's casino earnings have fallen recently. In December 2024, casinos made PHP 131.7 billion (MOP 18.2 billion, USD 2.28 billion). This was 2% less than the same month last year.  The drop got worse in January 2025. Earnings fell to PHP 132.1 billion (MOP 18.25 billion, USD 2.286 billion), which was 5.6% lower than January 2024. Two main things caused these drops. First, Macau made stricter rules for big-spending VIP gamblers, cutting a major source of money. Second, money problems in mainland China meant fewer visitors came to Macau, and those who did spent less. Macau’s government earlier noted that their tourists have become more diverse , especially during the holiday season.  While this is the case, analysts are projecting a recovery amid the Lunar New Year celebrations.  Jobs Shrinking Despite Casino Recovery Lam pointed out that while tourists and gamblers are coming back to Macau after COVID, the rest of the local economy is still having problems. Small businesses are struggling, and jobs for local people are getting harder to find. Casino companies are making money again, yet they still had over 27,000 non-resident workers as of June 2024. Lam believes it's wrong for these companies to fire local workers while keeping so many foreign staff. Lam says these firings set a bad example and make Macau's job market even worse. He wants the government to step in right away, study what's happening, and explain why casino companies can fire local workers without finding them new roles.

SBC Summit Rio 2025 will take place from February 25-27, 2025 at Riocentro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. SBC is raising the bar with Brazilian DJ megastar Alok headlining the unmissable INFINITY Rio party on February 27, 2025 at SBC Summit Rio 2025. The sports betting and iGaming event will take place from February 25-27, 2025 at Riocentro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Building on the incredible success of the first INFINITY edition in Lisbon, Alok’s world-class talent, global fame, and electrifying sets will ensure yet another unforgettable night of high-energy music, creating an extraordinary closing experience as the industry’s biggest party, INFINITY, makes its Brazilian debut in Rio. Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, said: "Having Alok, one of the most listened-to Brazilian artists and one of the most followed electronic stars, headlining INFINITY Rio demonstrates the size and scale of SBC Summit Rio. Our delegates are in for a true Tomorrowland experience, blending business networking with genuine world-class entertainment." The Riocentro Super Stage, a fresh addition to SBC Summit Rio, will shed its conference atmosphere to host the party, with Alok setting the tone for the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, starting the next day on the 28th of February.  “We’ve timed SBC Summit Rio 2025 perfectly so attendees can dive into business and then roll straight into the Carnival. And with Alok’s performance, there’s no better way to kick off the party,” Sojmark added. Alok has roots in a family of musical pioneers—his parents, Ekanta and Swarup, are psytrance legends—which has helped him become a global name through the combination of Brazilian rhythms with innovative electronic dance music (EDM). His breakout single ‘Hear Me Now’, created alongside Bruno Martini and Zeeba, has racked up nearly 800 million streams on Spotify alone. Recognized as a leading force in the Brazilian Bass genre, Alok’s powerful basslines and infectious beats have earned him consistent recognition as one of the world’s top DJs. Ranked 4th in DJ Mag’s Top 100 for three consecutive years (2021-2023), he remains a major force in the EDM world. The DJ’s success goes beyond just his chart-topping music. With nearly 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 30 million Instagram followers, he has become a worldwide phenomenon. He has headlined some of the biggest festivals, including Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, and Lollapalooza, and has collaborated with renowned artists such as Dua Lipa, Jason Derulo and Ed Sheeran.  In addition to his music, Alok has left his mark on popular culture by becoming a character in the popular battle royale game, Garena Free Fire. His impact on the industry has earned him spots on several prestigious charts, including Billboard’s Dance 100, Forbes Brazil’s 30 Most Influential Brazilians, and Spotify’s Top 100 Global. Aside from his career, Alok is deeply committed to philanthropy. He founded the Alok Institute, which focuses on supporting education, environmental conservation, and social causes in Brazil. As Alok himself said: "Giving is the very purpose of life, and what makes me the happiest." His efforts to give back extend to the music industry as well—he founded Controversia Records, a sub-label of Spinnin' Records, and UP Club Records to promote emerging talent.  Sojmark believes that Alok is the perfect act to headline SBC’s second INFINITY: "The INFINITY brand was born in Lisbon, where we hosted our very first EDM-style festival concert featuring big names like Don Diablo, Miss Monique and Darude and the energy that night proved we had created something special. That success confirmed we’re on track, and now INFINITY Rio is taking it to the next level, with star talent like Alok leading the charge and setting a new standard for industry events." SBC Summit Rio has quickly established itself as the must-attend event for Brazil and has moved to Riocentro, one of Latin America’s largest convention centers, for its 2025 edition. February’s event is projected to attract more than 15,000 attendees. Alongside this growth, the introduction of the Super Stage will elevate the attendee experience, while the Affiliate Leaders Summit and Payment Expert Summit brands—both of which debuted in Lisbon—are set to make their Rio debut.

Scheduled for February 25-27, 2025 , the summit is strategically timed to flow into Rio’s iconic carnival, providing international attendees with an extraordinary cultural experience. The expanded venue enabled SBC to increase its exhibitor and sponsor count to 400 while introducing two new concurrent events. After debuting at this year’s SBC Summit in Lisbon, the Affiliate Leaders Summit and Payment Expert Summit will also be featured at SBC Summit Rio, this time with a sharper geographic focus. Each summit will have its own dedicated space on the exhibition floor and conference stages, ensuring a more focused and efficient experience. Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, said: "SBC Summit Rio will be the most significant and largest event in Brazil’s gaming and sports betting industry.  "It's the first major event following Brazil’s new licensing and regulation changes, and only in its second year of running, it's relocating to Latin America's largest convention center, with attendance expected to triple. The possibilities here are endless, and if you want a piece of the pie, you really cannot afford to miss it." Relocating SBC Summit Rio to Riocentro was a decision influenced not only by the need for additional space but also by the venue's outstanding facilities and its legacy as a host of prestigious events like the Olympics. The summit will occupy 70,000 square meters, featuring the renowned Amphitheatre for the Super Stage, which will host keynote sessions, and a festival-style closing party, INFINITY Rio, along with a sprawling 40,000-square-meter exhibition floor. Nestled in the Barra da Tijuca district, known for its beaches, shopping hubs, and exceptional dining, Riocentro combines premier facilities with an inviting setting.

Several prominent industry leaders are set to appear at the event, including Alex Fonseca, CEO Brazil at Superbet; Andre Gelfi, Managing Partner Brazil at Betsson and President of the Instituto Brasileiro de Jogo Responsável (IBJR); Bruno Guilherme, CEO of Viradabet; Fernando Garita, CEO of Betsul; Fellipe Fraga, Chief Business Officer at Estrelabet; Iuri Castro, a specialist in lottery and betting regulation; Ludovico Calvi, Honorary President of United Lotteries for Integrity in Sports (ULIS); Livia Troise, CEO of Betmais; Marcos Sabiá, CEO of Galera.bet ; Monara Shainny, CEO of Segurobet; and Paula Braytne, Chief Compliance Officer at Galera.bet . Attendees will engage with the most pressing topic—regulation—as they explore the latest gambling laws and the strategic moves reshaping the market. The conference will also cover how AI (artificial intelligence) can strengthen brands, the importance of ethical and localized marketing, and the evolving payment systems critical to success.  Offering a perfect mix of business and entertainment, the evening networking events will be hosted in iconic locations. A key highlight is the exclusive party at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos, Botafogo’s legendary home, providing guests the opportunity to network while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of a world-class football stadium. "This event is all about bringing together top executives from Brazil and beyond to shape the future of the industry in this amazing country. Our gatherings are famous for attracting key decision-makers, and with the market still in its early stages, the opportunity to connect with these leaders can be a real game changer," Sojmark added.
