Nevertheless, there are still plenty of games to get excited about and some money to be made. We went 5-2 for +5 units last weekend, taking us to 37025 and +7.9 units for the season.

NBL25 Round 9 Preview & Betting Tips
Tasmania JackJumpers vs Brisbane Bullets
Friday 7:30pm AEDT, MyState Bank Arena
Coming off their best win of the season, the JackJumpers will be eyeing off consecutive wins for the first time in NBL25 when they take to the court on Friday night. The JackJumpers took down the then ladder-leading Breakers by 19 points at home last weekend, snapping a three-game losing streak in the process. They did so without Will Magnay and Sean McDonald, both of whom are a realistic chance to return in Round 9.
The Bullets had their pants pulled down on their home floor against United last outing, conceding a whopping 120 points en route to a 17-point defeat. They simply could not get a stop on defensive and conceded 24+ points in all four quarters, which is something you just don’t see very often at this level. Prior to that defeat the Bullets were in some decent form with three wins from their previous four games. The Bullets also have some injury issues to contend with, and currently have three players listed on the official NBL injury list.
Besides backing the unders in all JackJumpers games this season, they’ve been a tough team to bet on due to their inconsistencies on the offensive end. However, the potential return of Sean McDonald is huge for their offence, as he can both shoot the lights out and put it on the deck and create for others. However, even if he’s unavailable, I still fancy the JackJumpers on their home deck. They were fantastic against the Breakers last week and surely they can go on with it here against a mediocre Bullets outfit.
