NBL Futures Tips & Predictions
—
NBL Championship Winner – Sydney Kings
It’s tough to bet against the Kings, who are the $3.30 favourites and rightfully so after looking at their roster.
They have recruited well in the offseason, and although he had some overseas interest, it’s good to see Xavier Cooks stay with Sydney.
Cooks is one of the best players in the NBL, and he has the likes of Jaylen Adams and Cameron Oliver in the team, so it’s a power-packed roster for the championship favourites.
There are some rising stars in the team, but having the likes of Shaun Bruce and Izayah Le’Afa adds experience, and Le’Afa has been an excellent player for the New Zealand Breakers over the last few years.
The odds are short, but there is a reason why money has come for the Kings.
Bet: Sydney Kings @ $3.30
NBL Championship Value Pick – Perth Wildcats
Rule out the Perth Wildcats at your peril, and there is good value with the $6.50 odds available with bookmakers.
Led by Bryce Cotton, who has been one of the best players in the league for many years, the Wildcats are always a threat of winning.
Cotton has been given some help in 2024, including Keanu Pinder and Tai Webster. Those three players are good enough to take the Wildcats to the promised land, and they have some emerging talent to build up as well.
Defence is always a key reason why the Wildcats have so much success, and we expect them to play well throughout the year and make a deep run in the playoffs.
Bet: Perth Wildcats @ $6.50
NBL Championship Best Roughie – Adelaide 36ers
Signing Montrezl Harrell is huge for the Adelaide 36ers, and he was playing at an All-Star level in the NBA just a couple of seasons ago.
We’re not sure why he’s coming down under, but the big American could see the 36ers become a threat in the NBL.
They also signed some quality players on the rise, and although their roster hasn’t played much ball together, the raw talent is there.
Ben Griscti and Alex Starling are good signings, and having the experience of Isaac Humphries and Dejan Vasiljevic only helps their chances of pulling off an upset.
Bookmakers are giving the 36ers some respect at $9.00, and they’re worth backing as an upset chance.
Bet: Adelaide 36ers @ $9.00
NBL To Make the Playoffs – New Zealand Breakers
We always love backing the Breakers, and although they have struggled at times, they lose a lot of close games.
They have a solid team in 2024, and although NBL legend Thomas Abercrombie has retired, he makes way for some emerging talent.
Freddie Gillespie has been physical in the pre-season tournament, and it’s good to see some passion coming out with the American imports.
It’s a new-look Breakers outfit, with Parker Jackson-Cartwright the only notable name from last year sticking around. However, Mitch McCarron Alex McNaught are good signings, so it could see the Breakers make the playoffs.
The multiple NBL champions are a $2.63 chance to make the playoffs, and those odds are worth including in multis.
Bet: New Zealand Breakers @ $2.63
