It’s an important game for the Phoenix and Bullets, as they look to rebound from losing performances. The Phoenix are firm favourites despite playing on the road, and their scoring prowess is expected to be too strong for the Bullets at Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

Best Bet

Phoenix -7.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

With only one win from their last five games, the Phoenix have drifted big-time in NBL Premiership markets. However, they’re a dangerous team, and bouncing back with a win over the Bullets is on the cards.

Brisbane started the year on a positive note with two wins, but after three straight losses to Sydney, Tasmania, and Cairns, they’re struggling to produce the goods. It’s a big worry for a team that needs everything to go their way, and they might need more time to gel as a unit.

Covering a -7.5 line won’t be easy for the Phoenix, but they’re a streaky team. They got off to a hot start against United last week before choking it away in the second half, but if they can shoot well in the first quarter, the Bullets aren’t well-equipped to make a comeback.

We recommend taking the -7.5 line before late money comes for them. They’re a popular team with punters, so they should attract attention.

Same Game Multi

Phoenix -7.5, Nathan Sobey 20+ Points, Skylar Mays 15+ Points, Total Points Under 187.5 @ $8.75

Bet Now

Nathan Sobey is the best scoring option for the Phoenix, and he has bounced back with consecutive games of 24 points. When he starts seeing the ball go through the hoop, the Phoenix are tough to slow down, and we’re picking him to have a big scoring night.

Skylar Mays got cooking early against Adelaide last week before struggling in the second half. However, he still had 15 points, and the American import is good enough to produce a similar effort. The $1.88 odds are better than expected, so include him in NBL picks.

We can’t see Brisbane putting up a big total, so we’re including under 187.5 points.

Best Value Bet

Angus Glover 20+ Points @ $7.50

Bet Now

Angus Glover is a player who can get hot from behind the three-point line, and he could score 20+ points on Thursday.

He scored 21 points in their first game of the season, so he’s good enough to put up a big tally, and the $7.50 odds are generous.

Include him in NBL picks this week as a value bet.
