Best Bet

Phoenix @ $2.08

Bet Now

We thought the Phoenix would be paying slightly better than $2.08, but we think they’re the better team in this series.

Adelaide played well during the season, and they earned a week off. However, the Phoenix have momentum after beating Perth 111-94 in the seeding round, and that could make it tough for Adelaide to slow them down.

The 36ers didn’t fire in the last week of the regular season when losing to Perth and New Zealand, with the latter coming in the Ignite Cup. They scored only 74 points in the loss to Perth, so there are some worrying signs for the favourites.

Ride the team entering this game with momentum and take the underdog odds for the Phoenix.

Same Game Multi

Phoenix H2H, Nathan Sobey 20+ Points, Owen Foxwell 4+ Rebounds, Under 183.5 Points @ $11.50

Bet Now

Nathan Sobey is an electric player on offence for the Phoenix, and he should spearhead their attack. He’s paying only $1.50 to score 20+ points, but he should come through for punters. The odds are worth including in NBL same game multis.

Punters get better odds for Owen Foxwell 4+ rebounds. He’s a $2.35 chance to hit the number, and with four rebounds in four of his last five games, we’re following NBL betting trends for this pick.

Under 183.5 points is included in our NBL multi picks based on Adelaide’s lack of offence. They rely heavily on Bryce Cotton, but they need other scorers to produce a big total. The final score should be around 93-85, so include the under.

Best Value Bet

Phoenix 11+ @ $5.10

Bet Now

There is a good chance of the Phoenix scoring a one-sided win. Despite the game being played in Adelaide, the Phoenix are a team packed with explosive offensive talent.

If they get on a roll, they can build a double-digit lead without much fuss, and the $5.10 available with bookmakers is worth taking.

Look for them to start well and force Adelaide into making poor shots.
