Hawks vs. Phoenix Predictions
—
Best Bet
It’s good to see the Phoenix playing well, and although they lost their most recent game to the Adelaide 36ers, they were right in the game until the final few minutes.
Nathan Sobey is playing well, and he’s leading this team to the playoffs, which is a good effort considering their roster. There aren’t as many American superstars as other teams, so they have done well.
Punters never know what to expect from the Hawks. They have JaVale McGee, who can dominate the game in the paint. However, the defending champions have been largely disappointing this season, and there is more consistency with the Phoenix.
Back the visitors to win and cover the –2.5 spread.

Same Game Multi
We’re backing Sobey to continue his fine run. He dropped 26 points in the loss to Adelaide, and he kept making buckets at the right time. He also scored 28 points five games ago against the JackJumpers, so scoring 25+ points is possible.
John Brown III has been good on the boards for the Phoenix. He has posted 6+ rebounds in four of his last five games, including 14 boards against Tasmania. That’s enough to include the American in our NBL same game multi picks.

Best Value Bet
Our NBL predictions have the Phoenix winning by 5-6 points, so the $3 odds for Phoenix 1-10 is a good price from bookmakers.
They can score a blowout victory, but we’re respecting the Hawks’ ability to play better at home, so it should be a close contest. We see the Phoenix starting well and keeping the Hawks at bay for most of the game.
We would have been happy with $2.60 for this option, and $3 comes as a surprise, so snap up the value available.
