NBL Round 14 Predictions
—
Thursday 4/1/24
7:30pm Sydney Kings vs Melbourne United @ Qudos Bank Arena
Melbourne continues to be the testing material at the top of the NBL leaderboard with 14 wins from 18 games.
Sydney hasn’t fared very well over the last couple of weeks, which has seen the Kings slip to third on the ladder.
Bookmakers have United at $1.78 to win, which isn’t surprising. They’re on the road, but given the Kings’ recent struggles, they could struggle to get back to winning form.
Betting tip: Melbourne Unted @ $1.78

Friday 5/1/24
7:30pm Illawarra Hawks vs S.E. Melbourne Phoenix @ WIN Entertainment Centre
Since the Illawarra Hawks changed their coach, they have been a completely different team.
It has been good to watch, and with another couple of wins, they would be in a playoff position, which is crazy to think about.
The Phoenix have been one of the worst teams over the last month, getting hammered by various teams. However, they always have potential to bounce back.
With home court advantage, we’re picking the Hawks to keep their run alive.
Betting tip: Illawarra Hawks @ $1.68

Saturday 6/1/24
5:30pm Tasmania JackJumpers vs Cairns Taipans @ MyState Bank Arena
There isn’t much separating the JackJumpers and Taipans on the ladder, but most of the betting money has come for the home team.
Tasmania looks the more explosive team, especially when the offence is playing well. It is the $1.43 favourite, and we think the JackJumpers can cover the –5.5 spread.
Given what’s at stake, which could be a top two position, we expect them to play with more gusto. Betting tip: Tasmania JackJumpers –5.5 @ $1.96
JackJumpers by 8
8:00pm Adelaide 36ers vs Melbourne United @ Adelaide Entertainment Centre
United plays its second game of the week, and regardless of how they perform against Sydney, they’ll be favourites to beat Adelaide.
The 36ers languish at the bottom of the NBL table with just five wins. It has been a fruitless season, and it might not get any better in 2024.
The odds will be short but take Melbourne and include it in multis.
Betting tip: Melbourne United
United by 10
Sunday 7/1/24
2:00pm New Zealand Breakers vs Perth Wildcats @ Spark Arena
We have always believed in the Breakers, and after a rough start, they’re starting to hit top gear.
The Kiwi-based team has rattled off three consecutive wins, all coming in fine fashion, so that’s a great form guide.
Perth will be a massive test, as they always are against New Zealand. The Wildcats are the slight favourites at $1.89 after finding their way to second on the ladder.
It will be a thriller, but we’re picking the locals.
Betting tip: New Zealand Breakers @ $1.91
Breakers by 3
4:00pm Sydney Kings vs Brisbane Bullets @ Qudos Bank Arena
The Kings should have the class advantage over the Bullets, despite some average recent form.
They are more impressive the Brisbane, which needs to start stringing wins together after posting just eight wins from 20 games.
We’re not massively confident in the Kings but playing at home could be enough to see them win.
Betting tip: Sydney Kings
