We have the latest NBL tips this week for all seven games of Round 4, starting with the 36ers vs. United on Wednesday.
Punters can get the latest NBL odds at Ladbrokes, which are available for every game of the season.
There has been money for United to win on the road, but we have found better value with the 36ers.
They look to end a two-game losing run, but if their best players step up to the mark, they should win at home. We’re looking at Bryce Cotton to get back to his scoring best after posting totals of only 15 and 19 points.
If he doesn’t live up to expectations, Adelaide could find it hard to win. However, he’s a reliable player, and we think he’ll rise to the occasion against United, as he’ll want to show Cole Anthony that this is his league.
Our NBL predictions this week include the Cairns Taipans to account for the Bullets at home, and the $1.85 odds should drop on game day.
The Taipans couldn’t have been any more impressive when beating United last week, and that should give them enough confidence to keep producing wins, especially against teams like Brisbane.
The Bullets got off to a hot start, but after consecutive losses, there is a danger of them falling back to their struggling ways. Based on form, we can’t look away from the Taipans at home.
Our NBL Round 4 tips include the Hawks, and we’re giving them one more chance to show us something.
It has been a rough start for the Hawks at 1-4, and the signs weren’t good last Sunday when losing to the Phoenix. However, they looked better earlier in the week when beating Adelaide, which was a sign of life.
The JackJumpers have been a much more consistent team this season, but winning on the road isn’t easy, and they’re still not the finished product. Therefore, the Hawks could pull off an upset at home, and the $1.95 odds are a good price.
It’s hard to leave the Breakers out of our NBL tips this week. They looked good when scoring back-to-back wins, and they look to turn the tables on the Wildcats.
They lost 97-93 earlier this season, but it was a close game, and winning the first game of a long road trip could band the Breakers together, and we’re not convinced the Wildcats are a premier team.
Perth has had the benefit of playing every game at home, so the Wildcats are yet to be fully tested. It’s another home game for them, but the Breakers could spoil the party as +4.5 underdogs.
We have picked against United in their first match of the week, but we can’t see them going 0-4 over the last two weeks.
That would be a tragic run for a team who were favoured to win the title at one point, and despite having Anthony in their team, they haven’t been able to produce the goods. Anthony scored 40 points in defeat last week, which is tough to do.
They struggle to score outside of Anthony, but against a Phoenix team that likes to get out and running, they should get plenty of scoring opportunities, and their NBA experience will turn up sooner or later.
The Kings only play one game this week, and they get plenty of time off to prepare for the 36ers, who have a busy week.
That plays into the hands of the Kings, who have made a positive start to their season with three consecutive wins, and they have firmed into favouritism to win consecutive NBL titles, which was inevitable.
They should come out humming, and our NBL Round 4 predictions make them one of the best bets this week.
We predict the Taipans going 2-0 this week, which will see them make a solid rise up the NBL rankings.
We have the Hawks going 1-1 at best, so we’re taking the $2.30 odds for the Taipans to win on the road, and they will be buoyed by their recent win over United, and they could beat the Bullets earlier in the week.
A close game is expected, but the Taipans could bite the Hawks on Sunday.
