Rod's NBL Finals Week 1

Overall YTD (87-60-1) +78.77 units

Getting on this one now, the away team have covered in each of the 3 games in the series this season. Momentum is obviously a key factor coming into a playoff series and the Taipans definitely have that but the Breakers didn't wait so many years to finally make the playoffs to put in a stinker. Add to that the Taipans have the least impressive home record of all the teams in the playoffs I like the Breakers to keep this one close.

Breakers +7.5 over Taipans (7)

Small lean on the over especially with the Taipans seemingly rediscovering their offense late in the season. Will think about it a bit more.

Breakers have shown all season that they thrive when they play uptempo and take the opponent away from playing halfcourt basketball. It's their only chance tonight to win IMO because you know the Snakes will win if this becomes a grind. Hoping for a similar 3 point shooting display by the Breakers in Cairns tonight

o194.5 Taipans v Breakers (3)

Breakers win SU but the total goes under. Still ok with a +ve night.

Should have a play for Friday...

 

[rod_steel]

No over analysing for tonight. Taking the better team who have unfinished business after being in the same position as last season but losing the playoff game against the Taipans.

Wildcats -8.5 over Crocs (5)

The NBL playoff format is a bit of a joke, brutal schedule for the Crocs having to play on Wednesday and then back up and play on Friday on the other side of the country.

Just a small one for tonight as I am not having much success with the totals


o215.5 Bullets v Breakers (3)

 

[yeasty]

ok. Sure. This game looks more on d over 220. I think so. No problem! Thx, bro.

 

[rod_steel]

No dice with the over tonight. Unders went 4-0 this weekend in the first week of the playoffs and looking ahead it's probably going to be more of the same especially in the semi final between Kings and Cats
