Adelaide 36ers take on Cairns Taipans at Adelaide Entertainment Centre this Sunday. Here's everything you need to know before you bet. Adelaide's impressive opening-round victory over Melbourne United has raised expectations around what this team can achieve this season. They face Perth earlier in the week before this matchup, so fatigue could be a factor, but we're expecting the 36ers to come through that contest and then handle Cairns. The Taipans have spent much of the past few seasons near the bottom of the standings. There have been flashes of quality, but they haven't shown enough consistency to regularly compete…

Perth Wildcats take on New Zealand Breakers at RAC Arena this Saturday. Here's everything you need to know before you bet. The Breakers made an ideal start to the season, comfortably accounting for Illawarra at Spark Arena. This will be a tougher assignment with the trip to Perth, but the Wildcats didn't offer many positives in their Round 1 defeat. Until they find some consistency, winning games early in the season could prove difficult. That makes the Breakers an interesting option at what should be a good price away from home. They're one of the more attractive value plays with…

Brisbane Bullets take on Illawarra Hawks at Brisbane Entertainment Centre this Friday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet. Brisbane Bullets vs Illawarra Hawks Friday 25th September 2026 7:30 PM Illawarra Hawks to Win Illawarra couldn’t have asked for a much better start against the New Zealand Breakers, going down in a performance that left plenty to be desired. Even so, there’s enough quality throughout the Hawks’ roster to expect a response. A matchup with Brisbane provides an opportunity to put that opening-round result behind them. The Bullets don’t appear to have the depth to seriously challenge at…

Perth Wildcats vs Adelaide 36ers Thursday 24th September 2026 9:30 PM Adelaide @ $1.60 Adelaide heads into Round 2 with plenty of momentum after knocking off Melbourne United in the opening round. The 36ers looked composed in that victory and have given themselves a strong platform to build on early in the season. Perth didn’t fire in their opening game, and responding could be tough. The Wildcats are expected to add an import to their roster soon, although he isn’t…

Cairns Taipans take on Tasmania JackJumpers at Cairns Convention Centre this Wednesday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet. Cairns Taipans vs Tasmania JackJumpers Wednesday 23rd September 2026 7:35 PM JackJumpers -2.5 @ $1.90 The Tasmania JackJumpers produced a remarkable comeback on Monday night, turning around a double-digit halftime deficit to defeat the Phoenix and get their season off to a winning start. They had to do it without Josh Bannan, making the result even more impressive. After trailing for much of the contest, the JackJumpers found a way to get back into the game and finish strongly…

Sydney Kings take on Cairns Taipans at Qudos Bank Arena this Sunday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet. Sydney Kings vs Cairns Taipans Sunday 20th September 2026 5:00 PM Taipans +8.5 @ $1.85 It’s not easy to bet on the Cairns Taipans, especially on the road against the defending NBL champions, but we’re going with them.

Sydney might have a…

New Zealand Breakers take on Illawarra Hawks at Spark Arena this Sunday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet. New Zealand Breakers vs Illawarra Hawks Sunday 20th September 2026 3:00 PM Breakers @ $1.85 Our NBL Round 1 tips include the Breakers, who are never given much respect in betting markets despite being one of the most successful teams in history. They have had a couple of tough years, mostly due to injuries, but they are fully healthy, and their international players looked good at the recent FIBA World Cup Qualifiers when beating the likes of Iran. That…

Perth Wildcats take on South East Melbourne Phoenix at RAC Arena this Saturday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet. Perth Wildcats vs South East Melbourne Phoenix Saturday 19th September 2026 9:30 PM Wildcats @ $1.80 There hasn’t been much money for the Wildcats, but they are still favourites to win at RAC Arena, which is a tough venue to play for the opposition. Most of the early money has come for the Phoenix to make it close at $2, and although we like the Phoenix this season, they should find it tough to beat the Wildcats in…
