This one could turn out to be a great advertisement for the NBL and the uncanny trend of overs this season. Two teams lacking on the defensive end with offensive weapons galore, slugging it out in a good old fashion score fest. We already know that Illawarra are know for their scoring especially in the sandpit with the softest rims in the league. The Sixers are also fond of the offensive end and have let in some big scores this season including 2 over 100 in their last 3. A combined score in the 190+ area is what I expect.
May have a line play tomorrow also.
NBL: Illawarra/Adelaide total over 180.5

GL Freddie. Do you know if Penney is in tonight? Lisch tried to do too much last week vs the Cats without Penney and they didn't have many scoring options..

Easy money for you Freddie.. Great call mate. I was stupid for playing and under with these 2 teams. You going to play the over again on Saturday?
I'd say we'd see another high scoring contest but I can see the books setting the total near 190 which will make things a little more interesting. A Sixers revenge play might be in order

It's literally do or die for the home team here. They must win to keep their slim playoff hopes alive and they won't get a better chance than against the bottom feeding Crocs in Auckland. To top it all off Townsville will be minus Young and Djeric making them a little exposed especially in the big man department. I'm comfortable backing in NZ also given the Crocs have one of the worst loss averages in away games.
NBL: NZ Breakers 1H -4.5 and FG -8.5

No reason to doubt Perth tonight. I'm sure the Tiges will believe they can compete versus the Wildcats but all we need to do is look at the numbers. The Wildcats are money at home, period. It wasn't that long ago that they put a 30 point smack down on Melbourne in the jungle. In Perths last 5 home games, which includes wins over the other 3 top 4 sides, the Wildcats have won by an average margin of 21.6 points. I can see Damien Martin shutting Goulding down tonight and I just can't see the Tigers getting enough points from others to compete.
NBL: Perth -5.5

Man this last few weeks has been brutal, still I see a good pick tonight. I'm with ADU on this one, I saw enough the other night to convince me that Adelaide will be a very difficult proposition on their home court. That plus the revenge angle means they are pretty good value to beat the spread tonight. The total could also be in play again with the books playing a tempting 185.5 at the moment. That's enough for me o bite.
NBL: 36-20
NBL: Adelaide -2.5 plus total over 185.5
