NBL Round 14 Predictions
—
Thursday 26/12/24
7:30pm Cairns Taipans vs Melbourne United @ Cairns Convention Centre
Punters get a good price for United at $1.43, especially when facing the hapless Cairns Taipans, who are riding a long losing streak.
United has also lost four on the bounce, but they are a much better team than Cairns, and that should be evident on Thursday night.
The current line is –5.5, and we envision Melbourne winning by double digits.
Betting tip: Melbourne United –5.5 @ $1.90

Friday 27/12/24
7:30pm Brisbane Bullets vs Illawarra Hawks @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre
The Hawks are the hottest team in the NBL after posting four consecutive wins, but they meet a tough opponent in the Bullets.
They have also won four of their last five games, and playing at home helps. However, the Hawks are playing too well to lose this game.
There is a sense of confidence with the favourites and we can’t leave them out of NBL picks.
Betting tip: Illawarra Hawks

Saturday 28/12/24
8:00pm Adelaide 36ers vs Perth Wildcats @ Adelaide Entertainment Centre
Any momentum the 36ers had at one point is gone following four losses from their last five games, and the signs aren’t good.
Looking to take advantage are the Wildcats, who have been wildly inconsistent, but they just need Bryce Cotton to perform to win.
He leads the NBL in scoring and we expect a big performance in leading the ‘Cats to victory.
Betting tip: Perth Wildcats

Sunday 29/12/24
2:30pm Tasmania JackJumpers vs Brisbane Bullets @ MyState Bank Arena
One of the hottest teams in the NBL are the JackJumpers, who played on Christmas Day against the New Zealand Breakers, scoring a one-sided victory.
We’re picking their winning run to continue against the Bullets. It won’t be an easy victory for the home side, but given their winning run, they’re good enough to win.
Bookmakers are likely to have a close betting market.

Monday 30/12/24
7:30pm Sydney Kings vs Adelaide 36ers @ Qudos Bank Arena
The Kings might have lost their most recent game, but a bounce back is on the cards against the struggling 36ers.
Despite some struggles for the pre-season NBL favourites, the Kings are good enough to hand the 36ers another loss, and it could be a tough week for the visitors.
Money will be with the home side on Monday night.

Tuesday 31/12/24
5:30pm Illawarra Hawks vs S.E. Melbourne Phoenix @ WIN Entertainment Centre
In-form teams battle on Tuesday as the Hawks look to continue their fine run of form against the Phoenix, who have won four of their last five.
Despite the Phoenix playing better than expected in 2024, we expect the Hawks to get the better of them here. They have more scoring depth, and they are confident.
Punters should get a –5.5 line with bookmakers.
Betting tip: Illawarra Hawks
Hawks by 7
7:30pm Cairns Taipans vs New Zealand Breakers @ Cairns Convention Centre
It will be good to see one of these teams break their losing streak, and we’re picking the Breakers to prevail.
Before going on a terrible losing streak, which wasn’t helped by injuries, the Breakers were second on the table. The Taipans haven’t been close to performing well in 2024, so we can’t put our money on them to win.
Punters should expect the Breakers to show they’re still worth a playoff spot.
Betting tip: New Zealand Breakers
