Best Bet

JackJumpers @ $2.06

Bet Now

The JackJumpers put some space on the New Zealand Breakers when beating the Phoenix on Monday night, and another win over the Hawks could do their playoff chances a big help.

After winning two of their last three games, Tasmania has hit form at the right time of the year, and the same can’t be said for Illawarra. The Hawks come off three consecutive losses, and their playoff chances are all but gone.

It has been a disappointing year for the defending NBL champions, and with the JackJumpers riding the wave of momentum after beating the Phoenix, we’re picking them to win at underdog odds. Take the $2.06 available with the latest NBL odds.

Same Game Multi

JackJumpers H2H, Bryce Hamilton 20+ Points, Majok Deng 10+ Points, Over 176.5 Points @ $9.75

Bet Now

Bryce Hamilton had only 17 points on Monday, but his teammates picked up the slack. The dynamic point guard is having a big year, and he should get back to his scoring best on New Year’s Eve against a moderate Hawks’ defence.

Majok Deng was massive on Monday, scoring 21 points. He had previous scoring totals of 9, 4, 2, and 3, so it was a big form reversal. With his confidence levels rising, he has a good chance of scoring 10+ points.

We expect the final score to be around the 95-83 region, so include the over in NBL same game multis.

Best Value Bet

Bryce Hamilton 25+ Points @ $3.60

Bet Now

Hamilton scored 25 points four games ago against the Wildcats, and he’s due for another big scoring performance.

The American import followed up that effort with totals of 18, 23, and 17 points, so he hasn’t been too far away from posting a big score since.

Getting $3.60 for Hamilton 25+ points is a good price. We priced him at around $2.60, so lock in the value with NBL odds.
