Brisbane Bullets vs New Zealand Breakers Predictions


New Zealand can steal the victory on the road, and at the least cover the +5.5 line. Tacko Fall is the key man for the Breakers and he can have a 15+ point night in Brisbane.

  • New Zealand have won 7 of their past 8 matches in Brisbane. 
  • Brisbane have been out scored in the paint 172-106 in their past 3 matches. 
  • Tacko Fall has 49 points and 21 rebounds in his past 2 matches. 
  • Matt Mooney has 16 assists in his past 2 games.

New Zealand Breakers won 2-1

Brisbane Bullets Form


The holiday season has not been kind to Brisbane who have lost three games in a row since Christmas, however their competition has been tough in the Hawks, JackJumpers and Sydney. 

Casey Prather has become one of the top players in the league, averaging 27 points per game in his past 10 matches and has been the highlight of the Brisbane offence, showcasing his consistency. 

However, the Bullets have been leaning on Prather and Keandre Cook too much and have gone away from their methods down low, running the ball through Tyrell Harrison and Josh Bannan, where they can also find success. 

The Bullets have been out-scored in the paint 172-106 in their three losses and need to find a way to be less one-dimensional in attack, while also being better inside the key on defence and shutting out their opponents. 

New Zealand Breakers Form


The Breakers ended their eight-game losing streak with a win over Cairns on New Year’s Eve and also put in a strong performance against Perth, despite the game getting away from them late in their 96-86 loss on Sunday.

Since the suspension of Parker Jackson-Cartwright we have seen the rise of Tacko Fall and Matt Mooney, who have taken the challenge of running the Breakers team with their main man on the sideline. 

Coach Petteri Koponen has found the key that has unlocked the beast that is Fall, who has 49 points and 21 rebounds in his past two games, while Matt Mooney has taken control of the offence with 51 points and 16 assists in his past two. 

The importance of Mooney is enormous now and it was clear that once he fouled out with 4:30 left in the match against Perth, the Breakers chances of victory diminished.  

Verdict

Tacko Fall is backed to have a night and score 15+ points while Matt Mooney is tipped to register 6+ assists. The pair can help New Zealand cover the 5.5 points as the underdog.
