NBL Finals Game 4 Tips
—
Thursday 28th March
7.30pm Tasmania JackJumpers vs Melbourne United @ MyState Bank Arena
The JackJumpers have exceeded all expectations by taking a series lead against the table topping United.
After losing the first game in Melbourne, it would have been easy to pack it in. However, they bounced back from the 104-81 smashing to win at home 82-77. That win spurred them on, because they stole a game on the road when beating Melbourne 93-91 on Sunday.
That was a massive turnaround in the series, and it puts all the momentum with the JackJumpers, who are $1.80 favourites to win the title in front of their home fans.
The pressure is firmly on United to win. The JackJumpers have two chances to win the title, but United must call upon their regular season form to get the job done.
Punters get $2.00 for United to win, which is about the best price you’ll ever see United. However, after losing consecutive games, we’re worried about their lack of momentum.
Winning in Tasmania hasn’t been easy for any team in 2024, and the JackJumpers are a team that builds on confidence. That could be tough to overcome, so we’re backing Tasmania to bring the house down at MyState Bank Arena.
We’re happy with the $1.80 available, and that could firm closer to tip off.
Bet: Tasmania JackJumpers @ $1.80

NBL Finals Game 4 Props
—
If you want a bit more value with the JackJumpers, they are paying $1.92 to cover the –1.5 spread.
We expect them to win narrowly, but the chances of them winning by exactly one point are very slim. Therefore, taking the JackJumpers –1.5 should be a safe bet.
There is also excellent value with the over 178.5. Two of the three games so far during the NBL Finals have gone over 178.5, including the most recent game.
That had 184 points, so there is enough wiggle room for bettors to cash the total.
Our final NBL Finals Game 4 prop bet is backing Tasmania to win the first half. It should come out humming in front of its home crowd, and there is enough value with the $1.79 line at the sportsbook.
When the JackJumpers play their best, they play from in front. They should come out humming with momentum on their side, and they could attack United’s defence early in the first quarter.
It’s well worth including in your NBL selections for the all-important Game 4 on Thursday.
Bet: Over 178.5 @ $1.90
