The Chesapeake Energy Arena sees home team Oklahoma City Thunder meet the San Antonio Spurs for the fourth game in the NBA's Western Conference final tonight (1:30am UK time). Oklahoma was put in a tight spot with the series beginning when the Spurs had a 2-0 lead back in their court, but one thing that was attributed to the Spurs' successes was the absence of Oklahoma center, Serge Ibaka, who was out due to a calf injury. The last game on Sunday night saw Ibaka making a heroic comeback as he was the difference maker in Sunday's game which saw OKC beat the Spurs 106 to 97. Despite still being in the danger zone, Ibaka gave his team 30 minutes of play time in which he managed to squeeze in 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks. If OKC builds on their success on Sunday and on the home crowd and if Ibaka keeps on with his performance - the series might just be tied tonight. On the other side of the court, Spurs didn't make a great impression on Sunday when compared to the first two games at their home court. They had it good in offense with Ibaka's absence but now Coach Gregg Popovich must quickly re-arrange his offense to deal with OKC's power center. Whatever happens, we're sure to have a close game tonight. Bet Live Winner Sports will be offering live betting on tonight's exciting game. In Head to Head bets, Winner is offering 6/5 on San Antonio Spurs and 7/10 on Oklahoma City Thunder. Punters can wager on other betting markets like Handicap (inc OT), Total Points and Odd/Even.

A new agreement has been struck to expand the delivery of Amaya gaming content. The software licensing deal with PlayCherry, a subsidiary of Swedish operator Cherry, will globalize content and adapt it to a larger and more diverse global usership. The arrangement enables Amaya to expand its Casino Gaming System platform to Europe through gaming portals such as Euroslots, CherryCasino, and Spilleautomater. More Games to a Wider European Audience The array of games runs the gamut from online and mobile slots to video poker to table games to branded content to games from other suppliers that will be integrated into the platform according to user preference data and Amaya's gaming quality standards, such as the newly added desktop and mobile games from 3D slot developer BetSoftGaming. To adapt the games to diversified European audience, the games will be made in a diversified range of languages and currencies. Short Term Sacrifice, Long Term Gains Business-wise, Amaya is sacrificing short term gains for longer term benefits. Financial reports reveal that in the first quarter of 2014, Amaya actually experienced a 29 per cent drop in software licensing fees to CAD $9.6m. This should not be seen as cause for concern, because it is part of the greater globalization strategy that Amaya is implementing, as the company revealed that it had signed multiple new operator agreements during the same period; the Cherry agreement is only the first of this new "healthy pipeline" of agreements, details of which Amaya will release in Q2. Internal Strategy Amaya's internal expansion in Q1 included six new games, including two popular DC comics-themed slots: Superman and Wonder Woman. Six more games will be released in the second quarter as well, as Amaya maintains its steady internal portfolio expansion to go along with its external diversification.

If they win tonight, they will see themselves at the NBA finals for the fourth time in a row. The team will be energized after their steamrolling of the Pacers 102 to 90 in game 4 at the AmericanAirlines Arena Monday night. Given the Heat's performance, most of the weight will be upon their competitors' shoulders tonight. Last Station for Pacers?
