Max Holloway (-160) vs. Calvin Kattar (+140): Holloway by decision
This should be a five-round striking battle and I don't see either guy having a game plan in which they look to wrestle. Holloway has a lot more five-round experience, and he is more of a volume striker. I would think he is the one who will be throwing and landing more each round. Kattar has good volume as well and has more power, so I give him the better shot at a knock out, even though Holloway has never been knocked out. Kattar is a stud and I think he will keep every round close. He might land the harder shots and have the judges giving him rounds for that. But I think he will be behind in strikes, so I agree with Holloway being the favorite and he is my pick based on volume.
Carlos Condit (-155) vs. Matt Brown (+135): Condit inside the distance
This would have been an epic fight five years ago. I still think it will be a fun striking battle, but we are getting both guys toward the end of their careers. Brown could come in with more of a wrestling-based game plan, which will take away from the excitement but will give him a better chance of winning. I think Condit is the better striker and, if this is the fun, striking fight that we all want, I favor him. It's hard to trust either of these guys with your money at this stage in their careers so maybe this is one to stay away from on betting and just hope for a fun brawl.
Santiago Ponzinibbio (-280) vs. Li Jinglang (+240): Ponzinibbio by decision
Ponzinibbio hasn't fought in over two years but he was on the verge of a title shot before he ran into health issues. Lucky for him, the last Jingliang we saw was the worst performance I have seen from him. Even with the unknowns, I have to pick Ponzinibbio. He has the better hands and I think he will clip Li's chin at least once and possibly put him away. Li is solid as well when he shows up and he could look to land takedowns. On the feet, he can keep the fight close with volume and has never been finished.
Joaquin Buckley (-270) vs. Alessio Di Chirico (+230): Buckley by TKO
Buckley is coming off the Knockout of the Year for 2020 two fights ago and landed another impressive stoppage in his last fight. The hype is starting to show in the betting line, but I think this is another good spot for him. Di Chirico can keep this fight close on the feet and maybe win rounds if he can mix in his wrestling. Buckley can stuff takedowns and he should be the one landing more volume as well as the harder shots.
Dusko Todrovic (-160) vs. Punahele Soriano (+140): Soriano by TKO
This is a good fight between two solid prospects. I think it is a super close fight between two similar fighters. Both guys are solid offensive strikers, and they are good at raining down shots in top control as well. This is close to a 50-50 fight for me, so I will lean with the underdog as my pick. I think Dusko can be a bit too sloppy on the feet when he walks forward throwing looping punches, so I could see Soriano landing a big shot to put him away.
Phil Hawes (-135) vs. Nassourdine Imavov (+115): Hawes by TKO
Hawes is going to be the bully in this fight, especially early. He is a powerful striker who can land a knockout and also has good wrestling that he can dominate with. His issue is cardio, and wrestling and big shots are what fatigue fighters the most. His best path to victory is going to be a first-round finish. Imavov is the more technical striker and could get a late finish of his own. I will lean with Hawes to get a ground-and-pound finish early.
Wu Yanan (-125) vs. Joselyne Edwards (+105): Yanan by decision
This is a close fight but Yanan looks like the more technical striker and she has more higher-level experience as well. Edwards might have the edge on the ground, but it is very close and either fighter could pull off a submission. I think this fight mainly plays out on the feet and I like Yanan there because Edwards has looked a bit too sloppy at times. Yanan should be the one landing more volume as well as the harder shots.
Tom Breese (-140) vs. Omari Akhmedov (+120): Breese by decision
Breese is the much better athlete and the fight will favor him as long as it stays on the feet. He is also the better grappler and maybe he can lock up a submission off his back. He struggles with wrestlers and that is what Akhmedov is going to look to do. I think Akhmedov is live to win a decision, but I would just bet that decision prop if you are taking him. I think Breese has more ways to get the win, so he will be the pick.
Carlos Felipe (-180) vs. Justin Tafa (+160): Tafa by TKO
Felipe looks like the better boxer but Tafa is a more powerful puncher. Felipe doesn't produce big volume, so I think Tafa can hang in there for a decision and he can slow Felipe down with calf kicks. I think Felipe is more likely to win a decision, but these are big boys, so I will take Tafa to land something big and get a stoppage.
Ramazan Emeev (-260) vs. David Zawada (+220): Emeev by decision
Emeev is the better striker and wrestler. Zawada can hang on the feet volume-wise because Emeev isn't a high-paced fighter, but Emeev is going to be the one pushing forward and landing the cleaner shots. I think Zawada needs a knockout or choke to win or else Emeev is going to out-point him for a clear decision.
Sarah Moras (-240) vs. Vanessa Melo (+200): Melo by decision
I think Moras is probably the better fighter, especially on the mat. She is not a good wrestler and on the feet this fight is close. However, Moras is a 6-6 fighter with a 70-percent win probability based on the odds and this is just too steep. I agree with her being the favorite, but this line has me leaning with the underdog in a close fight.
Austin Lingo (-210) vs. Jacob Kilburn (+180): Lingo by TKO
Lingo is an aggressive boxer who is going to be pushing forward and looking for the finish. Kilburn likes to work in space, so I don't think this matchup is a good one for him. But he does have power in his hands and kicks. He likely needs a knockout to win and I think Lingo is more likely to get the stoppage himself, and I like him if it goes the distance as well

ANALYSIS: The Kings blew a 3-1 lead in the third period against the Wild on Thursday. Minnesota won 4-3 in OT despite getting outshot 34-27. The Kings' defense made silly mistakes that should not happen again. The Kings won 61 percent of the face-offs and love the value here on Saturday night.

The Raptors have been awful against the spread this season, which includes them posting a 1-3 record ATS at home. Also, they are 2-6 ATS as favorites. Gordon Hayward (hip) is listed as questionable, and if he returns, he would provide a big boost for the Hornets. With that being said, they lost to the Raptors by only three points even without him Thursday. Given this large number, I like taking a chance on the points.
