NBL Round 2 Predictions
—
Thursday 26/9/24
7:30pm S.E. Melbourne Phoenix vs Melbourne United @ John Cain Arena
United are the $1.35 favourites to beat the Phoenix, and we’re not surprised by the short odds for the all-Melbourne affair.
United kicked off their year with an 88-79 win over the Tasmania JackJumpers, and that’s a much better form guide than the Phoenix’s 106-98 loss to Perth.
It wasn’t an easy game for the Phoenix, but this won’t be any easier, so take United to win comfortably.
Betting tip: Melbourne United –6.5 @ $1.91

Friday 27/9/24
7:30pm Illawarra Hawks vs Brisbane Bullets @ Win Entertainment Centre
It was a good Round 1 performance from the Hawks, and they lived up to expectations with a 102-75 thrashing of the Taipans.
The same can’t be said about the Bullets, who didn’t fire a shot against the New Zealand Breakers, and there are already big concerns in their camp.
Getting a –5.5 line for the Hawks is too good to pass up for the home side.
Betting tip: Illawarra Hawks –5.5 @ $1.91

9:30pm Perth Wildcats vs Sydney Kings @ RAC Arena
NBL heavyweights meet on Friday night, and there’s not much between them with basketball betting markets.
The Kings are $1.78 favourites following a 102-94 win over the Adelaide 36ers, which was a solid win, but we think there’s much more to come for the title favourites.
Perth also looked good when beating the Phoenix at home, but this is a much harder task, despite having Bryce Cotton on the roster.
Betting tip: Sydney Kings @ $1.78

Saturday 28/9/24
5:30pm Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers @ Cairns Convention Centre
The Taipans couldn’t have played worse in the opening game, and although Adelaide also lost, it wasn’t a bad performance.
Montrez Harrell looked good as a former NBA player, and he could have some highlight reel moments against a terrible Taipans defence.
The line is 36ers –7.5 for a reason, and based on their showing last week, we’re not putting our hard-earned money on a team that doesn’t consistently show up.
Betting tip: Adelaide 36ers –7.5 @ $1.91

8:00pm Tasmania JackJumpers vs Melbourne United @ Mystate Bank Arena
It’s always hard to predict how a team will play their second game of the week. Melbourne plays on Thursday, so markets aren’t out yet, but we’re backing the JackJumpers.
They typically play well in their home opener, and they have enough talent across the board to handle Melbourne.
They come off a big 2023, and punters shouldn’t lose confidence.

Sunday 29/9/24
2:30pm Sydney Kings vs Illawarra Hawks @ Qudos Bank Arena
We’re excited for the Kings vs Hawks on Sunday, and they could enter this game with unbeaten records.
That remains to be seen, but the Kings looked more impressive in the opening week, and they’ll only get better with more time on the court.
The Hawks are dangerous, but in front of a big home crowd, Sydney is the best bet.
Betting tip: Sydney Kings

4:30pm New Zealand Breakers vs S.E. Melbourne Phoenix @ Spark Arena
It was a good performance from the Breakers to beat the Bullets last week, and a huge crowd will be on hand at Spark Arena in Auckland.
The Phoenix will be harder, but the Breakers play well against the Phoenix, and they’re getting good production from their American imports.
Parker Jackson-Cartwright has improved, and it should translate to a home win.
