The Adelaide 36ers face the New Zealand Breakers in Round 8 of the NBL on Thursday, November 6, at 5:30 PM at Wolfbrook Arena. Betting markets show the teams are evenly matched, but the Breakers' recent strong performance gives them an edge in confidence.
Coming off a dominant offensive display against the Hawks last Friday, the Breakers will aim to bring that same energy at home. Playing at Wolfbrook Arena could give them the push they need, as the local crowd always lifts their game.
“When the Breakers make shots, they are tough to beat.”
Parker Jackson-Cartwright remains a key engine for the Breakers, providing defense, assists, and leadership even when not focused on scoring. His all-around skill set could again make the difference in this contest.
To secure victory, the Breakers must focus on containing Bryce Cotton. Should they manage that defensive assignment, they are well-placed to cover the spread.
With scorers on both sides and both teams playing at a fast pace, this matchup could turn into a high-scoring contest exceeding 180.5 total points.
The Breakers, buoyed by recent momentum and home support, have the upper hand against the 36ers if their offense stays consistent and defense limits Bryce Cotton.
