NBL Round 9 Predictions
—
Friday 15/11/24
7:30pm Tasmania JackJumpers vs Brisbane Bullets @ Mystate Bank Arena
The JackJumpers got back to their 2023 form with a win over the New Zealand Breakers last week, and it should spark them back into action.
It was a one-sided affair and it broke a three-game losing streak, and now they look to take care of the Bullets, who have two losses from their last three games.
Tasmania is blessed with natural scorers, and with the benefit of playing at home, it should be too hard to beat. Bookmakers have the home side at $1.48 and –4.5, and we’re backing it to win and cover the spread.
Betting tip: Tasmania JackJumpers –4.5 @ $1.90
JackJumpers by 8
9:30pm Perth Wildcats vs S.E. Melbourne Phoenix @ RAC Arena
There is some trepidation in betting markets surrounding the Wildcats, who are the $1.57 favourites, but bookmakers aren’t letting the Phoenix out of their sights.
Perth has lost two of its last three games, and it appears that if Bryce Cotton doesn’t have a big scoring game, the Wildcats don’t win.
Looking to apply pressure are the Phoenix, who have kicked back to win three of their last four. They look much better now after starting poorly, and despite playing on the road, they could cause a minor upset at RAC Arena.
Betting tip: S.E. Melbourne Phoenix @ $2.42

5:30pm Cairns Taipans vs New Zealand Breakers @ Cairns Convention Centre
Nothing is going well for the Taipans, who are riding a lengthy losing streak and we can’t see that streak ending on Saturday afternoon.
The Breakers haven’t been the most consistent team in 2024, especially after losing heavily to the JackJumpers last week. However, they have more talent than the Taipans, and that could be telling.
We expect them to get back to winning form as the $1.49 favourites. They are –4.5 with spread betting markets, and although that’s not easy to cover on the road, the Taipans are there for the taking.
Betting tip: New Zealand Breakers –4.5 @ $1.90
Breakers by 8
8:00pm Illawarra Hawks vs Sydney Kings @ Win Entertainment Centre
Looking to continue their momentum are the Kings, who bounced back to winning form with consecutive wins.
They are once again showing their NBL Premiership credentials, and they could take advantage of the suddenly struggling Hawks, who come off consecutive losses.
Everything was looking good for the Hawks, who once led the competition. However, they have regressed to their pre-season expectations, and that’s not a good sign. They are now the $1.96 underdogs at home against the Kings, so there isn’t much betting confidence.
We’re backing the Kings to keep their winning run going.
Betting tip: Sydney Kings @ $1.85

Sunday 17/11/24
2:30pm Melbourne United vs Adelaide 36ers @ John Cain Arena
United are the current NBL Premiership favourites following four wins from their last five games, including their last two games.
They face a tough ask against the in-form Adelaide 36ers, who have won three of their last four, and they look to score an upset on Sunday afternoon.
There is more consistency with United, who play at home, and they have always been tough to beat at John Cain Arena. That could be the biggest difference, which is why United is a $1.50 favourite.
We’re happy to include them in multis at the price.
Betting tip: Melbourne United @ $1.50
United by 5
4:30pm Brisbane Bullets vs Perth Wildcats @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre
The odds for this game will be dependent on how the Bullets and Wildcats play earlier in the week, but we’re picking the Wildcats to win.
It could be a more important game for the Wildcats, especially if they lose to the Phoenix earlier in the week, and they won’t want to lose touch of the leaders.
Brisbane has played better recently, but we don’t rate it as a premier team.
Betting tip: Perth Wildcats
