We have Breakers vs. Kings predictions for Round 11 of the NBL on Wednesday, December 3 at 5:30 PM at Claudelands Arena.
It’s an interesting NBL betting market for the first game back from the international break, with the Kings only slight $1.70 favourites.
Breakers vs. Kings Predictions

Best Bet
It wasn’t an easy decision to back the Kings, but the Breakers have struggled to win home games that are played outside of Auckland.
The Kings also have four wins from their last five games, and they’re looking like a potential NBL title contender, and the Breakers are just trying to avoid being near the bottom of the ladder.
We are slightly worried by the respect coming for the Breakers in betting markets. We priced them at around $2.35, so the $2.15 odds are shorter than expected. However, that means better odds for the Kings, so include them in NBL multis.

Same Game Multi
We’re backing Sydney’s best scorers to come up trumps on Wednesday night. Kendric Davis is playing well, and he comes off a 20-point game against the JackJumpers. He is due to have another 20+ point game, so include him in NBL picks.
More is expected from Xavier Cooks, who was touted as NBA quality at one stage. He has just 18 points from his last two games, and his free throw struggles continue. However, he is a classy player, and getting $2.12 for 15+ points is generous.
It should be a high-scoring contest, so include over 179.5 points. They combined for only 151 points last month, but the shooting figures have improved since.

Best Value Bet
The Kings are a tough team to beat when they get off to a fast start, and they should start faster than the Breakers to open Round 11.
It all depends on how well Davis and Cooks shoot in the first quarter, but they know they need to play better than what they showed against Tasmania, and the Breakers are merely standing in their way.
We’re happy with the odds for the Kings to lead at halftime and fulltime. Take the odds before money comes for it late.
