NBL Round 2 Predictions

Thursday 5/10/23

5:30pm New Zealand Breakers vs Brisbane Bullets @ Spark Arena

The Breakers got off to a winning start last week, and playing consecutive games at home is a bonus.

They scored an easy win over the Cairns Taipans, and although the Bullets looked good when beating the 36ers, the Breakers looked better.

Covering –6.5 won’t be easy, but punters get nice odds.

Betting tip: New Zealand Breakers –6.5 @ $1.95

Breakers by 10

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

The Phoenix lost to United to open their account, but they bounced back with a 110-99 win over Perth.

It was a good performance, but playing Cairns on the road isn’t an ideal situation, and punters get value odds for the home side.

The current odds of $2.15 are worth snapping up before late money comes.

Betting tip: Cairns Taipans @ $2.15

Taipans by 4

Friday 6/10/23

7:30pm Tasmania JackJumpers vs Sydney Kings @ MyState Bank Arena

The JackJumpers are always tough to beat at home, but we can’t look past the Kings.

They won 96-81 against the Illawarra Hawks on the road, so they know all about winning on the road in the NBL.

Punters get a value price with $1.80, so we’re jumping on that, forgive the pun, and backing the Kings to start 2-0.

Betting tip: Sydney Kings @ $1.80

Kings by 5

9:30pm Perth Wildcats vs Adelaide 36ers @ RAC Arena

Most of the money is with the Perth Wildcats, and it’s not hard to see why.

They went 1-1 after beating Tasmania and then losing to the Phoenix, which wasn’t a bad split in the opening week.

There isn’t much going for the 36ers, so we think they’ll struggle to get wins on the board in the early stages of the year.

Perth can score at home, so taking the –9.5 line is fair.

Betting tip: Perth Wildcats –9.5 @ $1.90

Wildcats by 13

Saturday 7/10/23

5:30pm Illawarra Hawks vs S.E. Melbourne Phoenix @ WIN Entertainment Centre

We expect a close game between the Hawks and Phoenix, and it largely depends on how well the Phoenix plays earlier in the week.

However, we think they have a chance of winning the title this season, and we don’t have the same thoughts about the Hawks.

Home court advantage is big but, take the Phoenix to prevail.

Betting tip: S.E. Melbourne Phoenix

Phoenix by 3

8:00pm Brisbane Bullets vs Cairns Taipans @ Nissan Arena

There is an air of confidence with the Brisbane Bullets, so they could win the battle of the Queensland teams.

They have plenty of scoring power, especially with the new imports, and we didn’t see enough from the Taipans against New Zealand.

Cairns is always tough to predict but take the Bullets to score in a close game.

Betting tip: Brisbane Bullet

Bullets by 5

Sunday 8/10/23

2:00pm Melbourne United vs Tasmania JackJumpers @ John Cain Arena

United should take care of the JackJumpers on Sunday, and although we respect both teams, the home side has home court advantage.

Playing in Melbourne always helps United, who have a strong fan base. Therefore, they should account for the visitors in fine style.

We expect the line to be around –5.5.

Betting tip: Melbourne United

United by 7

4:00pm Sydney Kings vs Adelaide 36ers @ Qudos Bank Arena

The Kings shouldn’t have too many problems dispatching the 36ers.

Our NBL title favourites made a good start to the year, and we can’t see them being dethroned by the lowly 36ers.

Punters should expect short odds for the home side on Sunday afternoon.

Betting tip: Sydney Kings

Kings by 10
