NBL & WNBL

Sydney Uni Flames @ Dandenong Rangers: Over 151.5 (Sportsbet).

Either Sportsbet are really slow or just couldn't care. Other books have this total at 155.5 and I expect this game to go over 160 as both teams love to push the pace and don't play defense too often. Rangers at home this season have scored 94, 92, 85, 70, 82, 78 and 77. Both teams are rested so far this weekend and I expect a good quick pace game with plenty of points. 

YTD:

WNBL: 8-3

Adelaide at home vs the injured and decimated Wildcats. Knight is out once again for the Wildcats. 

last meeting was in Perth and the Wildcats won 106-103 after blowing a massive lead that game. The 36ers have been a great road team this season but poor at home but I cannot back the Wildcats in this game because they are missing so many players. Its either 36ers or the over.. Need to make a decision soon..

Perth Wildcats @ Adelaide 36ers: Jerome Randle over 21.5

This guy runs the offense for the 36ers. The last time they played, he dropped 40 on Perth and that was when they had Damian Martin who is by far one of the best guard defenders in the league. Martin did only play 12 mins in that game so it just shows you how poor the defending was on Randle that game after Martin came off. Without Martin, I see no one stopping Randle tonight. 

Happening again tonight @ Dandenong.. Asia Taylor, Sydney's dominant big gets ruled out an hour before the game and instead of easing, the Flames get hammered from +3.5 into +1.5 by tip off ... And sure enough, the Flames are unstoppable

Still, very odd indeed to see this trend of big money coming late for teams after news that a key player is out. 

Definitely Jive, I remember several times before when you have pointed this out. I didn't even see that Taylor was out of this game at all.
