NBL Betting Tips - NBL Round 9

Blink and you will miss it, the NBL season is already up to Round 9 and the standings are starting to take shape.

Adelaide 36ers Vs. Melbourne United (Thurs 7:30pm)

Best Bet

Josh Oduro

15+ Points

Bet Now

$1.28

At this price, its probably more of a multi builder but Josh Oduro has become a monster of the NBL competition. A clear push in his scoring production and he is grabbing rebounds like a man playing against children.

Adelaide has managed to contain him twice this season, but he played ten less minutes per game then, than what he is averaging now.

Ten games for the season above this number and his twenty-eight points against Brisbane, was the eighth in a row. If this is too short for your liking, have a look at the 20+ paying $1.98, or the 8+ rebounds at $1.56. With an average of 16.5RPG over his last two efforts it would be concerning if he couldn’t muster half that here, against Rakocevic.

Perth Wildcats Vs. Tasmania JackJumpers (Thurs 9:30pm)

Next Best

Tasmania JackJumpers

WIN

$1.82

Four of the last five games have resulted in Tassie wins, when over the same period the Perth Wildcats have only managed to produce the one victory.

The Wildcats season has hit the skids after what was a promising start. Gutsy one-point wins over Adelaide and Melbourne have made their current season record a bit shinier than it should be. They currently sit at five wins and six losses, currently placed outside the play-in tournament standings.

Brandon Knight should return to point guard after missing with general soreness, but the return of JLA remains a few weeks away. Tassie are not without injury with both Hamilton and Johnson missing, but the next man up mentality has been strong, and the Jackies are sneakily deep rostered.

SEM Phoenix Vs. Illawarra Hawks (Wed 7:30pm)

Value Bet

Nathan Sobey

6+ Rebounds

Bet Now

$3.00

It was looking like my best bet with $1.50 for Sobey to grab four rebounds, something he has done now five games in a row. But the $3 value option is juicy odds for something he has managed three times since the start of October.

We saw the slow start for Sobey and after assessing his minutes per game, it’s been a clear ramp up period. He came into the season carrying injury and avoided some of the brutal opening schedule where SEM travelled to Perth and then Tasmania in just three days.

In his last three performances, he has pushed his minutes average up to thirty minutes, which has allowed him to push his rebounding averaging up to 5RPG. It’s a simple play as his game time increases so does his rebounds. Sobey to put on a show at the State Basketball Centre.
