NBL Round 20 Predictions

—

Wednesday 5/2/25

5:30pm New Zealand Breakers vs Illawarra Hawks @ Spark Arena

The Breakers got back to winning form last week, but as the odds suggest, that’s unlikely to continue against the Hawks on Wednesday.

Illawarra is one of the best teams in the NBL, and after winning three of its last four games, it should have no problems handling the Breakers.

Beating the Breakers in Auckland isn’t easy but the line is 10.5 points, which is significant, and we can’t see the Breakers putting up much of a fight.

Betting tip: Illawarra Hawks –10.5 @ $1.90

Thursday 6/2/25

7:30pm Cairns Taipans vs Brisbane Bullets @ Cairns Convention Centre

The Taipans have turned their poor season around with three wins from their last five games, and now they’re favourites to beat the Bullets at home.

Bookmakers have the Taipans at $1.81 to beat the Bullets, who have two wins from their last three games, but we’re backing the Bullets to get the job done against their Queensland rivals.

Getting $2 for the Bullets is a good price, so lock in the value odds.

Betting tip: Brisbane Bullets @ $2.00

Friday 7/2/25

7:30pm Illawarra Hawks vs Sydney Kings @ WIN Entertainment Centre

It’s not an easy start to the week for the Hawks, who have to travel from New Zealand and play the Kings two days later.

The Hawks are the $1.64 favourites to beat the suddenly-struggling Kings, who come off consecutive losses, but we’re taking the value odds with the visitors, who will be the fresher team on Friday night.

Sydney needs to stop the bleeding, so punters should expect a good performance as a $2.27 underdog. It’s a fair price from bookmakers for one of the title contenders.

Betting tip: Sydney Kings @ $2.27

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

These teams are going in different directions with the Wildcats winning their last two games and the 36ers dropping theirs.

Perth has made it to third on the NBL ladder, and we expect it to have the edge at home against a 36ers team struggling to stay in the hunt.

Adelaide sits in sixth place and needed a win, but the Wildcats should be too strong at home as a $1.43 favourite, and we’re backing them to cover the –5.5 spread.

Betting tip: Perth Wildcats –5.5 @ $1.90

Saturday 8/2/25

5:30pm Tasmania JackJumpers vs Cairns Taipans @ MyState Bank Arena

The JackJumpers are riding a long losing streak, and we’re not sure what has gone wrong with last year’s finalists.

They aren’t playing anywhere close to their ability, but they are favourites to beat the Taipans, who still sit in last place with seven wins and 20 losses.

It won’t be the most watched game of Round 20, but we’re picking the JackJumpers to return to winning form and give them some hope of making a playoff run.

Betting tip: Tasmania JackJumpers @ $1.71

8:00pm Melbourne United vs S.E. Melbourne Phoenix @ John Cain Arena

It’s the marquee match of the week as United look to win their fourth consecutive game when facing the Phoenix on Sunday.

The Phoenix have traded wins and losses over their last five games, and although they’re a talented team, we think the experience with United bodes well at this stage of the year.

Getting $1.79 is a good price for United, so we’re including them in NBL multis.

Betting tip: Melbourne United @ $1.79
