Best Bet

Melbourne United –11.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The perfect season is still intact for Melbourne United, who don’t seem to have any weaknesses. They have proven too strong across all areas of the court, and we can’t see the Taipans coming close to them in Round 6.

It has been a tough start for the Taipans, who don’t have the same depth as United. They struggle to put points on the board, and although they have lost a few games this season by small margins, that’s unlikely to be the case here.

Punters should back United with confidence. They are unbeaten for a reason, and playing on the road won’t worry them. It’s a pure numbers game, and United should get out to a big lead and never look back.

Same Game Multi

Melbourne United –11.5, Tanner Krebs 15+ Points, Milton Doyle 4+ Rebounds, Under 179.5 Points @ $18.00

Bet Now

There are some star players on the floor, and although Tanner Krebs isn’t one of them, he’s good enough to score 15+ points for United. Krebs comes off a 17-point game, and he could continue to find his shot against the Taipans.

We also like Milton Doyle to grab four rebounds. He has recent totals of 3, 4, 4, and 5, so he’s always around the number. With the Taipans likely to miss many shots, Doyle should be there to clean up the boards, and he’s also a threat with offensive rebounding.

We’re including under 179.5 points because the Titans could struggle to score. The final score could be 96-80, so include it in NBL multis for value.

Best Value Bet

Tanner Krebs 3+ Three Pointers @ $2.55

Bet Now

We are Krebs heavy with our picks for this game, and with good reason. He landed five three pointers in his most recent game, and he’s a tough player to stop when he finds his rhythm.

He has seven made threes from his last two games, so we recommend taking the $2.55 for the United sharpshooter to keep that run going.
