Not a nice weekend last time out.. Went 1-2 as it was only WNBL. Kriscar, my bad I didn't get back to you mate regarding those 2 blockbuster games. I am glad I didn't because I did lean Townsville in the 1st game and Melbourne in the 2nd game but was happy I just watched because both would have been losses..
Now this week starts in less than 24 hours with 2 WNBL games and carries right through to Monday with a sole NBL game. So a nice 6 day schedule across both leagues.
Will start the research and hopefully have a good weekend

Flames laying -7.5 to the Lightning and then the Fire -8.5 on the road to Dandenong.. They would have stayed in Melbourne this week after that Sunday game no doubt so both teams rested. Flames are on fire when it comes to shooting, nailing 3's and the Lightning are playing well but I feel as though they may struggle against the big teams like Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Townsville..
Thanks Ramanujan.
We have lines and some big lines...

Agree Kriscar... The league is tough now that all the teams have settled in and we are almost towards the end of the season but what the hell happened to Townsville tonight? To only score 19 points in 20 mins of the 1H is just not basketball. This team is just crazy.
The coaches have said this season is the toughest and closest season they can remember for a long time and thats evident with some big dogs getting up..
Tomorrow with have Perth vs Canberra. That line will be around -10 I think..

I will most likely be on the over tomorrow in the WNBL game.. I am just waiting for some better lines.. One book I have opened at 157.5 and shot up to 159.5 in literally 2 minutes.. Hopefully we can get a better total because the books have been quite sharp lately with totals in both leagues so every point is vital. At worst case, I will grab it at 159.5 but would rather wait it out.
None of the other books I have have lines out on the total but I am waiting and watching that total line. Lynx are built to run and gun, they are coming off an over game vs Fire last weekend and seeing that the Capitals love to allow 80+ points, I have to take the over once again. The Lynx played 5-6 straight unders, I think its time they go on a little "over" run to finish out the reg season in style.

Cairns just don't like scoring, but they will get a chance for the first time this season to face the worst defense in the league. First meeting this season, they play again on Sunday up in Cairns. As long as Randle is running the show, I just have to take the over when its in the 160's. This is what the Taipans have had so far in their last 7 games.
18th Nov: 153 points total (total was 163.5)
12th Nov: 156 points total (total was 164.5)
9th Nov: 161 points (total was 163.5)
4th Nov: 143 points (total was 160
2nd Nov: 152 points (total was 166)
27th Oct: 164 points scored (total was 174.5)
22nd Oct: 159 points scored (total was 163.5)
One thing I would love to point out is.. When Randle was a 36er last season, the 36ers vs Taipans had some high scoring games.
They played on 21st October 2016, that game went under and the total hit just 150 but thanks to Cairns shooting just 34.8% from the floor. Randle hit 23 points.
The next game hit 179, and Cairns shot the ball a lot better, hitting 41.9%. Randle scored 18 points.
Next game, the score line hit 174 points and they played 2 days after that and the score line hit 187. My point is, Randle was the PG for all those games and he knows how to play Cairns. I do like the fact that the Kings are poor on defense as well because I think Cairns will be able to score over 80 points on the road for the first time since their opening weekend win in NZ (82-71).
Cairns Taipans @ Sydney Kings: Over 166.5

The 36ers are 400% at home, yet they are laying the same amount of points NZ did against the Bullets before the break. Something tells me that the books know more than is for this game and the 36ers TT is unusually high at 96.5 so I will take them to beat the Bullets by double digits on a great Friday night in Adelaide
Brisbane Bullets @ Adelaide 36ers: 36ers -8.5

Lynx looks much better so i decided to play Perth.Any thoughts? I dont believe that Adelaide will play the third such a good game in a row.Revenge game for Lynx and game fot the first place for them.Such comebacks as last time strengthen them mentally.

Kriscar, I don't feel to confident on these leagues right now mate.. It seems as though the dogs are really starting to close the gap on the favs. Sydney has owned the Fire in recent times and the Fire were absolutely shocking last weekend vs Dandenong. Flames were much better against Adelaide either. At first glance, i would take Sydney to beat Dandenong. Adelaide are playing with a lot of confidence and that 2H survival from Perth the other night vs Bendigo would have gassed them big time. I would take Adelaide in that game as I am skeptical of taking Perth on the road against 500+ teams.

There is one line that doesnt make sense to me and thats the Boomers playing Canberra. Total is at 152.5. Canberra will be buggered. They have flown over 4,000kms from Canberra to Perth and now Perth to Melbourne and they play again in less than 48 hours since playing in Perth. Melbourne allowed 101 points last weekend vs the Flames, I expect them to lock down on D tonight and the Capitals might be in for a very long night..
Canberra Capitals @ Melbourne Boomers: Under 153.5
