Sydney Kings host Brisbane Bullets in Round 3 of the 2026 NBL season at Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday. Read on for our full match preview, betting tips, and best odds. Our NBL predictions this week include the Kings to score a convincing win over the Bullets, with both teams looking to conserve their unbeaten records. The Bullets looked good in their two wins, but playing on the road against the defending champions is a big difference, and with the Kings scoring big totals so far this season, we don’t see their offence slowing down. It has been an impressive…

New Zealand Breakers host Cairns Taipans in Round 3 of the 2026 NBL season at Spark Arena on Wednesday. Read on for our full match preview, betting tips, and best odds. The -3.5 line is generous, and it’s one of our best NBL tips this week. We have the Breakers being far too good for the Taipans, who didn’t fire a shot in their most recent game against Adelaide. We have been more impressed by the Breakers, who won their first game at home before losing on the road to the Bullets and Wildcats. They were close games, and being…

Adelaide 36ers host Cairns Taipans in Round 2 of the 2026 NBL season at Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Sunday. Read on for our full match preview, betting tips, and best odds.

Brisbane Bullets vs Illawarra Hawks Friday 25th September 2026 7:30 PM Illawarra Hawks to Win It wasn’t a good opening performance for the Illawarra Hawks, who lost to the New Zealand Breakers in a poor effort.
