NBL Round 3 Predictions
—
Thursday 12/10/23
7:30pm Tasmania JackJumpers vs Illawarra Hawks @ MyState Bank Arena
The JackJumpers have made a good start to their season with two wins from three games, including a win over Sydney last week.
We expect them to have too much class at home against the Hawks, who have one of their better players out injured.
We’re not surprised to see bookmakers open them at $1.25, and although money has come for the Hawks at +8.5, we’re taking Tasmania to win comfortably.
Betting tip: Tasmania JackJumpers –8.5 @ $1.98
JackJumpers by 12
Friday 13/10/23
7:30pm Brisbane Bullets vs Sydney Kings @ Nissan Arena
There isn’t much between the Bullets and Kings with betting markets, who are near the top of the leaderboard.
The Bullets have a slight edge due to points differential, and we have been surprised by the Bullets so far, who weren’t expected to play well.
Playing at home helps the Bullets, who have two wins from three games, and confidence is king for the Queensland team.
Take the $2.08 available.
Betting tip: Brisbane Bullets @ $2.08
Bullets by 3
9:30pm Perth Wildcats vs Melbourne United @ RAC Arena
Melbourne United leads the NBL, but they have the same number of wins as Perth.
There isn’t much between these teams, and Perth is always tough to beat at RAC Arena, so we give it the edge.
Bryce Cotton has been playing well, and although he’s not the incredible scorer he once was, he leads the NBL in assists per game.
United has been softened up by the JackJumpers, so take the Wildcats to win.
Betting tip: Perth Wildcats @ $1.61
Wildcats by 5
Saturday 14/10/23
5:30pm Adelaide 36ers vs Illawarra Hawks @ Adelaide Entertainment Centre
Adelaide is languishing in bottom place on the NBL ladder after four losses, and we’re unsure if they’ll get off the mark here.
Illawarra hasn’t been overly impressive, but Adelaide has been much worse, so it would take a brave punter to back them.
Playing at home is the only positive for the 36ers.
Betting tip: Illawarra Hawks
Hawks by 7
8:00pm S.E. Melbourne Phoenix vs Tasmania JackJumpers @ John Cain Arena
With one win and three losses, the Phoenix aren’t playing as well as most thought they would.
That puts a lot of pressure on them to perform against a tough JackJumpers outfit, and we’re happy to go with the visitors.
Pressure and the Phoenix don’t mix well, so take whatever value odds bookmakers dish up.
Betting tip: Tasmania JackJumpers

Sunday 15/10/23
2:00pm Melbourne United vs Brisbane Bullets @ John Cain Arena
The Bullets and United have another tough matchup in Week 3, but we give the edge to United.
They are always one of the hardest teams to beat every week, and although the Bullets are playing well, they have exceeded expectations.
Given they have home court advantage, back United to get it done and stay near the top of the ladder.
Betting tip: Melbourne United
United by 5
4:00pm Sydney Kings vs Perth Wildcats @ Qudos Bank Arena
We love backing the Kings at home, so we’re not going to stop now.
The pre-season NBL favourites have played well enough so far, and they have the star players to get the job done.
We expect bookmakers to have the Kings around $1.60, which is worth including in selections.
Betting tip: Sydney Kings
