Best Betting Tips 36ers vs Phoenix
Over Game Total
This matchup screams offence. Adelaide rank among the league’s most efficient shooting teams, while South East Melbourne lead the NBL in scoring and three-point volume. Both sides have struggled to contain opponents defensively in recent weeks, creating the perfect storm for a shootout.
Adelaide have conceded 100 or more points in three of their last four games, while the Phoenix have allowed an average of 103.75 points per game since the turn of the year. With tempo high and shot volume enormous, the over shapes as the safest angle.
South East Melbourne Phoenix Money Line
While defence is optional at times for both teams, South East Melbourne’s ability to generate scoring runs from the perimeter gives them a clear edge in games that turn into shootouts. They have already proven that against Adelaide this season, winning 108–89 on January 18 and controlling all four quarters.
If the game opens up as expected, the Phoenix’s three-point firepower should be decisive late.
John Brown III Rebounds
Missed shots mean rebound opportunities, and this matchup will generate plenty of them. John Brown III has been dominant on the glass, coming off a 14-rebound performance against Perth and consistently crashing the offensive boards.
With both teams happy to fire early in the shot clock, Brown should again find himself around the ball all night.
Key Matchup to Watch
Phoenix Pace vs Adelaide Defensive Discipline
South East Melbourne push the pace relentlessly, taking more three-point attempts than any team in the league. Adelaide will need to slow the game and control possessions, but recent defensive slippage suggests that may be difficult. If the Phoenix dictate tempo early, this contest could quickly turn into a scoreboard battle.
Verdict
Everything points to a fast, open contest loaded with scoring. Defensive resistance is unlikely to hold for long, and the Phoenix’s perimeter firepower gives them the edge in a game that should be decided by who hits from deep more often.
