United vs. JackJumpers Predictions
—
Best Bet
United has lost four of their last five games, with their only recent win coming against the Bullets. However, after sliding down the NBL ladder from the top spot, they could bounce back with a big performance.
In terms of their roster, United matches up well against the JackJumpers. They have Chris Goulding, Milton Doyle, and Tyson Walker, who can all score. However, Doyle has been the biggest disappointment, and they need more from their American import.
If Doyle can get back to his best, the $2.37 odds for United is good value. They lost their last two games by a combined margin of four points, and they will look to get revenge over Tasmania after losing to them in Round 15.

Same Game Multi
We predict big games from Goulding and Doyle, and Goulding has turned his poor shooting form around recently. He scored 27 points against the Taipans before dropping 21 against the Kings, so 15+ points is a good bet.
Doyle is a $1.88 chance to score 15+ points, which would have been a sure thing earlier in the year. Despite his recent struggles, we’re sticking with the ship. He’s a talented scorer, so take the value odds with NBL betting markets.
It should be a high-scoring contest, and the 176.5-point line is worth including in NBL same game multi picks.

Best Value Bet
The odds are overly generous for Goulding to score 20+ points considering he scored over 20 points in his last two games.
He’s a legend of the NBL, and he’s good enough to lead United back to the playoffs. We expect him to have a big game at RAC Arena, where he often shoots well, and the $2.80 odds are much better than expected.
Punters should expect CG13 to lift off with a big performance.
