Best Bet

Breakers +8.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Breakers aren’t getting the breaks they need to make the NBL finals, but they are good enough to push the Phoenix close.

They looked good when beating United last week when honouring Thomas Abercrombie, but the two-point loss to the JackJumpers was a huge setback for the Kiwi team. However, their scoring has improved, and that’s why we’re backing them.

If the Breakers can score buckets, they’re just as good as most teams in the comp. Their scoring average has increased significantly recently, and although the Phoenix have a deadly offence, we have them slipping up on the road.

Back the Breakers to cover the +8.5 spread, which is a healthy line from bookmakers. We expected a +5.5 line, so take the current offering.

Same Game Multi

Breakers +8.5, Parker Jackson-Cartwright 20+ Points, Nathan Sobey 20 Points, Over 194.5 Points @ $8.75

Bet Now

The Breakers need Parker Jackson-Cartwright to have a big game, and he has stepped up to the mark lately. He had 23 points against United, and although he wasn’t as impressive against the JackJumpers, not everything went his way. Punters get $1.85 for a 20+ point performance.

Nathan Sobey has been mixing his form, but he was playing at MVP levels a couple of weeks ago. He should fancy himself scoring 20+ points, which is why he’s the $1.43 favourite. He’s a good NBL same game multi bet inclusion.

It should be an open and high-scoring contest, which is why the line is 194.5 points. That’s about as high as you’ll see for an NBL game, and the final score could be around 105-100.

Best Value Bet

Breakers First Half Winner @ $2.90

Bet Now

Punters cashed in with the Breakers last week. We tipped them at $2.63 to beat United, and they’re paying generous odds again.

Getting off to a fast start is what they need, and they’re a tough team to run down. Punters get $2.90 for New Zealand to hold a halftime lead, which is much better than expected.
