Melbourne United Vs. Illawarra Hawks (Thu 7:30pm)
Best Bet
Quentin Peterson
Over 24.5 PRA
Q.J has been coming off the bench for Illawarra, but that has not halted his production.
He has been in blistering form for the Hawks, averaging 21.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4 assists over his last five games. This includes the one time he went under this line, shooting just 12% and is clearly an outlier.
Peterson only had the 23 minutes last game which is my only concern, but still managed to get busy, finishing with 32PRA. Last game against United, Peterson had 22 points, and they will want a repeat of this, to stop Melbourne correcting their four-game slide.
Perth Wildcats Vs. S.E Melbourne Phoenix (Thu 9:30pm)
Next Best
Total Points
Over 183.5
The Wildcats got the win they desperately needed to stay in touch with the top four. It was only against Brisbane, so any other result would have been catastrophic.
Phoenix come into town and they are a whole different beast to the Bullets, leading the league in PPG. Perth are known for their defence, but they will need to keep the scoreboard ticking over to compete with South East. They do have the ability but can’t rely on just one scorer and will need Doolittle, JLA and Windler to get going.
92 each is all that’s required to clear this line, and I see Phoenix threatening 100, which should allow Perth any shortcomings of the mark. Last time they met, they combined for 183, but it was in no way a good shooting night.
Cairns Taipans Vs. New Zealand Breakers (Fri 7:30pm)
Value Bet
Jack McVeigh
25+ Points
McVeigh dropped 35 points against New Zealand only two games ago and gets another shot here, at home.
The blowout against Tassie, in round 12, saw him score only 24 points after back-to-back 30+. Although he is averaging 14 field goal attempts for the season, he has had taken 21 shots on average across his last three games.
It was a high scoring affair last time and I expect the same, the addition of Sam Waardenburg this time around should help space the floor even more for McVeigh.
