Taipans v Breakers NBL betting tips – Friday 25/11/2022

Friday night basketball in the NBL travels to the tropical north with the Cairns Taipans hosting the New Zealand Breakers at the Cairns Convention Centre. The Taipans will be looking to build on their two game winning streak, as will the Breakers having beaten the JackJumpers and 36ers last week.

The Breakers have won three of their last five matches against the Taipans, with two of those wins coming on the road in Cairns. The Taipans did record an on the road win last week against the Bullets, along with a resounding victory over the United in Cairns. Can they continue their run and beat the Breakers at home?

The Taipans come up as favourites in this match, which is surprising given their weakness against the Breakers, particularly at home. As the Breakers always do, they have been victorious by narrow margins in low scoring games, as they have done in the past against the Taipans on their home court. Look for this run of form to continue for the Breakers to win by 1-10 points ($3.50).

The Breakers make scoring for their opposition incredibly difficult with their strong on-ball defence, and their ability to get into passing lanes to shut down offences and steal the basketball. The Breakers have incredible success against the Taipans with this exact game plan. This should see the match finish below the 165.5 total match points ($1.90).

For all the defensive pressure the Breakers apply on their opposition, they can also pour on the points in offense, particularly at the back end of the game. In their two most recent games against the JackJumpers, Barry Brown Jr has been the man on the offensive end leading the scoring for the Breakers. Look for Brown to step up again and lead the Breakers to the highest-scoring quarter of this match ($1.95).

Key matchup: Barry Brown Jr vs Keanu Pinder

The matchup of Barry Brown Jr against Keanu Pinder will be the highlight of this ball game. Both players are the offensive leaders for their respective sides, who can score at an incredibly efficient rate from anywhere on the court. Both players also have a great ability to get to the free throw line, creating even more pressure for their opposition defensively and opening their own scoring opportunities further. Whoever comes out on top in this battle will go a long way to leading their team to a win.
