Cairns Taipans Vs Adelaide 36ers (Thurs 7:30pm)

Best Bet

Jack McVeigh
Over 23.5 Points and Assists

The million-dollar man is going to be earning every dollar this season, with game time so far being 37 minutes on average. Cairns need him to contribute across the board and so far, he’s delivered.

A lot of people wrote off Cairns after they lost import Ashton Hagans before the season and then Sam Waardenburg to injury for a big chunk of the start of this season. They have proved a few wrong, with 2 early wins this season, both albeit by small margins.

McVeigh has been great averaging over 20 points a game. He has the ability to score from deep but also isn’t afraid to get to the free throw line. The addition of Andrew Andrews has helped Cairns spread the floor and McVeigh should almost clear this with points alone.

Perth Wildcats Vs Illawarra Hawks (Thurs 9:30pm)

Next Best

Javale McGee
Over 32.5 PRA

A huge first game from the 3-time NBA champion, putting his name firmly into early MVP conversations.

He comes up against another high profile centre here for Perth, in Jo Lual -Acuil Jr. Although last game was by no means a reflection of a lack of defence, as McGee went off against defensive powerhouse Will Magnay.

It’s hard to argue with a PRA line that he almost cleared on points alone last start. With the roof open for an ‘open air’ game in Perth, there might be an abundance of rebounds on offer, and I expect Javale to produce something like 20 and 15 with some assists for good measure.

Perth Wildcats Vs Illawarra Hawks (Thurs 9:30pm)

Value Bet

Tyler Harvey
Over 3.5 Assists

Anyone who has watched Hawks basketball is aware Harvey much prefers to shoot than pass to teammates, but he also doesn’t usually have an ex NBA centre at the 5.

Illawarra had glimpses of what they might be capable of this season in their first game, but were unable to come away with the win. They will be desperate to get one in the winner’s column, and I think they are actually a great chance here, against Perth (Hawks Win $2.39). Harvey and McGee will develop a decent chemistry and should be a lethal pick and roll combination all season.
