    MrXYZ's NBL thread

    With the NBA on hold I'll be making few picks for the Australian Basketball League, the NBL. It's fun to watch & I like picking my spots in small markets like this one. These guys play hard but there's plenty of lol moments in this league that make me wonder how they'd fare against a WNBA team.

    Friday 14 October
    Townsville Crocodiles vs Cairns Taipans
    Game total over 153.0 @1.90

    I'm expecting both teams to shoot better this week & a total of at least 158 points.

    With 90 points scored in the 1st half, this was headed for the bank, but we had some anxious moments with the Taipans unable to get scoring! It could've been a tough beat but the Crocs came through to push it over with a final score of 95-67(162 total).

    1-0

    Sydney Kings vs New Zealand Breakers
    Game total over 169.5 @1.85

    Juiced line but the Breakers should have another 90+ total & the Kings a better shooting effort after last week's collapse.

    Breakers steamrolled the kings, who could only manage 27% shooting. Their worst performance in franchise history sank any hopes of the over.

    1-1

    Hawks rallied to cover the spread after the 36ers came very close to spoiling it. A higher scoring game killed the under but grateful to start the day with a 1-1 result. Then the books proved just as clueless as NBL punters when the Taipans toppled the Blaze in a huge 91-82 upset to cash the play.

    Today: 2-1
    NBL season so far: 3-2 60%

    Going with both overs today. A couple of tough games though & I wouldn't be surprised to scrape home by 1-2 points.

    Good luck today.

    Like GC game over.

    Hard to know how Sydney will go. last week they looked like they hadn't played the game before.

    Thanks & BOL tonight. I'm expecting Sydney to score at least 80 tonight but still lose to Adelaide. I think this will be a higher scoring round.

    Blaze dominated the Hawks, who could only manage 58 points. Another one sided game with the kings easy winners & this one was headed under too. But a combination of fouls and the 36ers rush of 3 point bombs in the dying stages of the 4th quarter got us home.

    1-1

    Harsh words in the lead up means this one could get spiteful with plenty of fouls. NZ will have their usual 80+ game but it'LL be another close call like Sydney last night.

    Thanks & good luck tonight. I'm leaning under on Perth/Adelaide. I think Australia wins easily against NZ but wouldn't take -13.5 points considering the unfamiliar ground & conditions.

    Thanks & same to you. The Wildcats should run away with it so its up to the 36ers to score enough to get you home. I think the defense will be too much, but who knows in this league. A crap start to the round for me, 0-2.

    I found -13.5 at CentreBet.

    Going with the Tigers tonight. They're +1.5 dogs but I think they'll knock off the home team in a close one.

    My apologies for anyone who tailed last week. This league is a joke but hopefully we cash some winners this round. Good luck.

    Easy money! Tigers cashed both plays in a classy 94-76 win over the dreadful Kings.

    A big 2nd quarter had me worried, but Perth turned up the intensity, shutting down the Hawks in the final stretch to cash the total. Final score: 87-71.

    Round 5: 3-0

    My only play for this round. Going with the Breakers - after last week's disaster, they'll be looking to strike some form & should take this one by 8 to 10 points. Cairns are desperate to avoid a 3rd straight loss so they'll put up a decent fight.

    Cairns with an upset 80-78. This stupid league does it again. But no excuses, I was dead wrong.

    If another home dog covers & this play doesn't hit I'm through with the NBL.

    Friday 25 November
    MELBOURNE TIGERS vs SYDNEY KINGS
    SYDNEY +3.5 @1.91

    Patty Mills was class above the NBL but he's gone & the Tigers also have an injury concern over their centre. It's always a risk taking the garbage Kings, but this is a good spot for them to get a road win.

    Saturday 26 November
    ADELAIDE 36ers vs GOLD COAST BLAZE
    GOLD COAST -1.5 @1.91

    Game opened at PK with both teams @1.91. The play has lost some value, with money pounding the Blazers into 1.85 before settling at -1.5 @1.91.

    The 36ers toppling the Melbourne Tigers last week has everyone expecting a close game, and another upset is possible. However the Blaze are serious title contenders & should prove too strong today, winning by at least 4.
