The biggest movers
- Sydney Kings went from $4.50 to $3.50 after starting 3-0.
- Melbourne United drifted from $3.25 to $4.50 after losses to Tasmania and Cairns.
- Tasmania JackJumpers firmed from $10.00 to $6.00 after beating Melbourne and Brisbane.
- Perth Wildcats shortened from $12.00 to $7.00.
- New Zealand Breakers went from $21.00 to $15.00 after wins over Cairns and Adelaide.
- Adelaide 36ers drifted from $4.20 to $7.00, and Brisbane Bullets doubled from $17.00 to $34.00 after a tough round.
Our best bet
New Zealand Breakers at $15.00. The Breakers are the defending champions and are still the seventh favourite. They have won their last two, beating Cairns and Adelaide, which is why they have already shortened from $21.00. For a team that knows how to win in the finals, $15.00 is a big price.
The solid option: Tasmania JackJumpers at $6.00. They have firmed after beating both Melbourne and Brisbane, and $6.00 is a fair price for a team in form.
Sydney at $3.50 is a fair price for the favourite, but it leaves very little value this early in the season.
How we’d play it
- Value: a small stake on the Breakers at $15.00.
- Safer: the JackJumpers at $6.00.
- Wait and see: futures prices on the NBL move every round, so there is no rush on the favourites. We will update this page as the market changes.
