Start Time: 7:30 PM (AEST)
Stadium: John Cain Arena, Melbourne

It doesn’t get much bigger than the Phoenix vs. United, who share the same home court at John Cain Arena. They have three losses from their last five games, so the Phoenix and United are desperate to regain their best form. United are the $1.69 favourites with NBL odds, so a close game is expected.

Best Bet

United -2.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

United looked good when beating Adelaide earlier this week, and although they made it close in the second half, their first-half performance was good enough to get them home.

Adelaide was a tricky team to beat, and although the Phoenix scored 113 points when beating Illawarra, they didn’t look as good on defence. They allowed 96 points, so if they play that level of defence on Saturday night, United will win easily.

We’re not surprised to see United open as the -2.5 favourites, and money could come for them on game day. They’re a popular betting team, and Cole Anthony could have another big scoring night to boost his MVP claims.

Take the current line before it moves to -3.5.

Same Game Multi

United -2.5, Josh Oduro 15+ Points, Joe Ingles 15+ Points, Total Points Over 187.5 @ $9.75

Bet Now

Josh Oduro had 16 points against the 36ers, and he could run it back with another 15+ game. He is a key player for United, and he also had totals of 22 and 21 points earlier this season. We’re happy with the odds available, so include him in NBL SGM picks.

Joe Ingles could show off his NBA experience with a big scoring night. He tends to focus on assists, but he dropped 18 points in a game last week. He can get firing from the three-point line, and the $3.40 odds give a big boost to multi odds.

Defence could take a back seat, so we’re including over 187.5 points in what should be an entertaining affair.

Best Value Bet

United 1-10 @ $3.10

Bet Now

We have United covering the -2.5 spread, but it should be a close game, and we have them winning by 5-7 points.

A United 1-10 win pays a healthy $3.10 with NBL odds, which is a fair price, and punters can maximise the value with the favourites.
