NBL Betting Tips - NBL Round 6

Injuries are starting to play a part in this NBL season, with more teams being hit hard. Will Brisbane have enough firepower in their remaining stars to compete with the inform Tasmania JackJumpers?

The Kings stumbled twice in five days with losses to Adelaide and New Zealand, before steadying the ship with a win over Perth.

Craig has averaged 31.5 minutes per game over his last four and looks to have answered Coach Goorjans call for more offence. Three games above twenty points for the season and an average of 16.6PPG. The night to forget against Adelaide hurts his numbers, shooting 18% and struggling from deep. I’ll back the 27PPG average over the last two games, and Craig to continue this red-hot form.

The Kings beat Illawarra convincingly in the opening round, with Craig finishing that game scoring 20 points.

Tasmania JackJumpers Vs. Brisbane Bullets (Wed 7:30pm)

Next Best

Jaylin Williams

6+ Rebounds

Brisbane has had their tall timber stocks restricted this week with injuries to both Tyrell Harrison and Jacob Holt. Harrison is a game time decision, but I’d be shocked if we see him in this Ignite Cup match.

Add to that, Brisbane will not have Arnas Velicka or Raul Neto and all of a sudden, they are thin. Williams will have a lot more to do; between him and Nate Hinton they will share the majority of possession for this game.

Williams started the season slowly but has adapted to the Australian game, averaging 6.25RPG over his last four games. If Williams ever needed a chance to showcase his abilities, this is it.

Perth Wildcats Vs. Melbourne United (Fri 9:30pm)

Value Bet

Sam Waardenburg

6+ Rebounds

The minutes were trending up before last games seventeen-minute performance against Illawarra. The good news with Sam is that at 6’10, he doesn’t need huge minutes to threaten 6+ rebounds.

Across his last five games, Waardenburg has cleared this line three times including one game of 8 boards.

When Melbourne played Perth in the preseason Blitz, Waardenburg had five boards in twenty-two minutes. Perth potentially get Jo Lual-Acuil and Kristian Doolittle back, which should force Melbourne to play a bigger lineup.
