Kings v Bullets NBL betting tips & top odds – Friday, October 7

Round two of the 2022 NBL season continues Friday night with the Sydney Kings hosting the Brisbane Bullets at Qudos Bank Arena. The Kings will be looking to continue their solid start to the season after recording a win over the Hawks, while the Bullets will need to bounce back well following their heavy defeat to the Wildcats.

The Kings have won five of their last 10 including two of their last three against the Bullets, with betting markets heavily reflecting the favouritism of the Kings.

In their last six matches the Kings have managed to cover the points line on each occasion. They have started this season in the type of form expected of the favourites win the 2022/23 NBL Championship. This makes the Kings a great betting prospect to cover the -6.5 point line, paying $1.80 with Marantelli Bet.

Derrick Walton Jr has started his NBL career in incredible fashion having been a typical journeyman in the NBA. Walton poured in an incredible 32 points on 55% shooting to lead the Kings in their win over the Hawks. He will be a huge factor again for the Kings offensively, leading this team to another high-scoring win that finishes over the 173.5 total points line.

Given the offensive output of Walton along with forward Xavier Cooks, the Kings will surely finish with the highest-scoring quarter of the match at $1.48.

Key matchup: Derrick Walton Jr vs Tyler Johnson

The battle between these two former NBA guards will be one of the highlights of the evening as each player looks to stamp their authority on this match and the NBL. Tyler Johnson is a high-energy player who plays strong on both sides of the ball and can do whatever needs to be done on the court to get a win. Derrick Walton Jr has already shown this season he is going to be one of the most dangerous guards in the NBL, and Johnson’s defence will need to be strong if the Bullets are to shut down Walton and the Kings.
