We have Bullets vs. Breakers predictions for Round 9 of the NBL on Wednesday, November 12 at 7:30 PM at Gold Coast Sport & Leisure Stadium.
The Bullets are the $1.61 favourites to win, but we expect shorter odds, so there has been support for the visiting Kiwis.
Bullets vs. Breakers Predictions

Best Bet
It was heartbreak for the Breakers when they last played the Bullets. They gave up an 18-point halftime lead at home to lose by one point, and things haven’t improved much for them since.
With only one win from their last five games, the Breakers are struggling to show their best, and they were unable to hold a lead against Sydney on Sunday. That’s why we’re backing the Bullets at –3.5, and they bounced back with a tough win over Tasmania.
It hasn’t been top-level basketball from either team, but with the Bullets playing at home and coming off a tough win, they should be ready to show their best to open Round 9 of NBL action.

Same Game Multi
Casey Prather is the best scoring option for the Bullets. He comes off a 28-point performance against Tasmania, and NBL defences haven’t been able to stop him. Considering his recent form, we expect him to score 25+ points against the Breakers.
We also like Tyrell Harrison 10+ rebounds for the Bullets. He has double-digit rebounding numbers in two of his last five games, and he had nine boards against Tassie. With the Breakers likely to put up plenty of misses, his average could skyrocket.
They combined for 167 points in their first meeting, so under 179.5 points is an obvious NBL same game multi pick.

Best Value Bet
The Breakers have been starting most of their games well, but the third quarter has long been the bane of their existence.
They’re unable to hold onto leads, as they didn’t against Brisbane in Round 6, and lightning could strike twice on Wednesday.
The $6 odds for the Breakers to lead at halftime and the Bullets to win at fulltime is too attractive to turn down.
