NBL Round 12 Predictions

Friday 22/12/23

5:30pm New Zealand Breakers vs Sydney Kings @ Spark Arena

It’s a Grand Final replay as the Breakers host the Kings, and we’re backing the home side to get it done.

They lost to the JackJumpers in their most recent game at Spark Arena, but they bounced back with a massive win over S.E. Melbourne.

Sydney is playing solidly, but with home court advantage, take the Breakers at value odds.

Betting tip: New Zealand Breakers @ $2.08

Breakers by 4

7:30pm Cairns Taipans vs S.E. Melbourne Phoenix @ Cairns Convention Centre

The Phoenix aren’t playing well right now, especially after getting hammered by the Breakers last week.

We’re backing the Taipans, who are always tough to beat at home, and we thought they might be shorter than $1.48.

The current line is –4.5, and we’re including that in our NBL picks this week.

Betting tip: Cairns Taipans –4.5 @ $1.90

Taipans by 8

Saturday 23/12/23

5:30pm Illawarra Hawks vs Tasmania JackJumpers @ WIN Entertainment Centre

It was hard not to be impressed by the JackJumpers’ performance against the Breakers two weeks ago, and that sticks in our minds.

They have progressed up the NBL ladder, and although the Hawks have shown glimpses of good form, they’re not consistent enough.

Take the visitors to win and cover the spread.

Betting tip: Tasmania JackJumpers –5.5 @ $1.90 (BET NOW)

JackJumpers by 7

8:00pm Melbourne United vs Perth Wildcats @ John Cain Arena

United leads the NBL with 13 wins from 16 games, and that record is tough to overlook.

Perth isn’t far away, but the Wildcats are a touch below their best, despite Bryce Cotton leading MVP betting markets.

Bookmakers have United at $1.33, which isn’t a surprising line given home court advantage. Betting tip: Melbourne United –6.5

United by 8

Sunday 24/12/23

2:00pm Adelaide 36ers vs Brisbane Bullets @ Adelaide Entertainment Centre

Brisbane is the better team than Adelaide, and although the Bullets often underperform, they should win on Sunday.

They are the $1.73 favourites on the road, and we’re happy to include that price in our NBL multis for Round 12.

Adelaide is always tough to trust, so we can’t back it.

Betting tip: Brisbane Bullets @ $1.73

Bullets by 4

Monday 25/12/23

5:30pm Tasmania JackJumpers vs S.E. Melbourne Phoenix @ MyState Bank Arena

The JackJumpers should have far too much class for the Phoenix, who are trending in a negative direction.

The home side has been shooting excellently, and if they’re anywhere near their best, they should win with ease.

We expect bookmakers to have them around $1.40.

Betting tip: Tasmania JackJumpers

JackJumpers by 9

7:30pm Sydney Kings vs Illawarra Hawks @ Qudos Bank Arena

The Kings have a busy schedule this week, but they should return home from New Zealand with confidence of beating the Hawks.

There isn’t much consistency with the Hawks, who have played better since changing coaches, but it’s not quite good enough.

Class is with the Kings, who should win comfortably.

Betting tip: Sydney Kings

Kings by 8

Tuesday 26/12/23

7:30pm Cairns Taipans vs Perth Wildcats @ Cairns Convention Centre

We expect a close game between the Taipans and Wildcats, who are evenly matched.

We’re backing the Wildcats, because we can’t see them losing two games in a week with the playoffs approaching.

Value could be with the Wildcats on the road.

Betting tip: Perth Wildcats

Wildcats by 4

Wednesday 27/12/23

7:30pm Brisbane Bullets vs New Zealand Breakers @ Nissan Arena

The Bullets could be tough to beat at home against the Breakers, who haven’t played overly well on the road.

The Breakers have looked good at times, but Brisbane needs to make a winning run, and this is a good situation for them.

We’re locking in the Bullets to win.

Betting tip: Brisbane Bullets

Bullets by 4
