Best Betting Tips Kings vs 36ers
Sydney Kings to Cover the Line
Sydney come into this matchup on a four-game winning streak and have already beaten Adelaide twice this season. While the 36ers remain the competition benchmark overall, their defence has slipped recently, conceding over 100 points in regulation across their last two matches.
The Kings’ ability to disrupt Bryce Cotton and force scoring responsibility elsewhere has been decisive in previous meetings, and playing at home gives Sydney a slight but meaningful edge.
Game Total Over Looks Strong
Games between these sides consistently produce points. Two of the three meetings this season have cleared the 178.5 mark, and Adelaide’s recent defensive dip further supports a high total.
Sydney’s offensive efficiency combined with Adelaide’s scoring power should again push this matchup into shootout territory.
Kendric Davis Points the Key Angle
Kendric Davis continues to elevate his game against elite opposition. He is averaging 25 points per game against Adelaide this season and enters this clash off a dominant 40-point performance against Tasmania.
With Sydney leaning heavily on Davis as their primary scorer, another 25-plus outing is firmly in play.
Bryce Cotton Under Points Worth a Look
Despite the expectation of a high-scoring game, Bryce Cotton has been consistently contained by Sydney this season. He has failed to score more than 25 points in all three matchups against the Kings, including a seven-point outing earlier in the campaign.
Sydney’s defensive schemes have forced Cotton into tougher looks, making the under an attractive contrarian angle once again.
Key Matchup to Watch
Kendric Davis vs Bryce Cotton
This rivalry has developed into a fascinating guard battle. While Cotton remains the league’s premier scorer overall, it is Davis who has consistently won this individual matchup in NBL26.
If Davis once again gets the better of Cotton, Sydney are well placed to control the tempo and outcome.
Verdict
Sydney’s recent form, home-court advantage and proven ability to limit Bryce Cotton give them the edge in what should be another entertaining, high-scoring contest.
