<p>Records are tumbling left, right and centre in the NBL at the moment, as season 2024-25 eclipses its halfway point.</p> <p>Last week saw Perth superstar Bryce Cotton break the record for the most points in a single game, in the 40-minute era.</p> <p>The four-time MVP collected a cool 59 points in a performance for the ages as his side saw off the Breakers in a thrilling contest.</p> <p>That result sees Perth sitting in the Play-In places, but there’s plenty more ball to be played between now and the end of the season.</p> <p>What does NBL round 11 have in store? Let’s find out! For the latest NBL news, analysis and odds, check out our NBL round 11 tips and predictions below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>New Zealand Breakers vs Melbourne United Prediction</h2> <p><em><strong>Thursday, December 5, 5:30pm AEDT – Wolfbrook Arena</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>What a way to start NBL round 11! The all-conquering Melbourne United jump across the ditch to take on the ever-impressive New Zealand Breakers.</p> <p>The Breakers are on the tail end of a torrid run of games, going down to Illawarra and Perth last week.</p> <p>Those losses have sent them into a tailspin and derailed their championship aspirations. Aspirations which are likely to be dented further by a United outfit gunning for five straight victories.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-aus-other/australian-nbl/new-zealand-breakers-v-melbourne-united-8753512">Melbourne United.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Tasmania JackJumpers vs Cairns Taipans Prediction</h2> <p><em><strong>Thursday, December 5, 7:30pm AEDT – Mystate Bank Arena</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Last year’s champions will be looking to continue their mid-season revival in round 11, when they welcome the struggling Taipans to Mystate Bank Arena.</p> <p>After a surprisingly slow start to their title defence, the JackJumpers have won their last three in a row as they begin their assault on the Play-In places.</p> <p>Another crucial win should be on the cards here, as the Taipans haven’t won in their last nine, and seem destined for double digits of consecutive defeats.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-aus-other/australian-nbl/tasmania-jackjumpers-v-cairns-taipans-8753533">Tasmania JackJumpers.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Brisbane Bullets vs Adelaide 36ers Prediction</h2> <p><em><strong>Friday, December 6, 7:30pm AEDT – Brisbane Entertainment Centre</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Impressive individual performances aren’t proving enough for the Bullets in the NBL this season.</p> <p>They currently sit second last despite the exploits of people like James Batemon. This week they welcome the 36ers to the Sunshine State and Adelaide should be well poised to protect their Play-In place here.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-aus-other/australian-nbl/brisbane-bullets-v-adelaide-36ers-8753536">Adelaide 36ers.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Perth Wildcats vs Illawarra Hawks Prediction</h2> <p><em><strong>Friday, December 6, 9:30pm AEDT – TSB Arena</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Can Cotton run it back? He’ll need to be near his record-breaking best if he wants to lead his side to victory over the high-flying Hawks.</p> <p>The Hawks will be reeling after a shock albeit narrow loss to the Phoenix last time out.</p> <p>At home and full of confidence after Bryce’s record-breaking beat down of the Bullets, there could be value to be had backing a Wildcat ambush.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-aus-other/australian-nbl/perth-wildcats-v-illawarra-hawks-8753538">Perth Wildcats.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>S.E Melbourne Phoenix vs Cairns Taipans Prediction</h2> <p><em><strong>Saturday, December 7, 8:00pm AEDT – John Cain Arena</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Taipans turn out for their second game of NBL round 11 and we fear the result here may match their first game of the round.</p> <p>From Tassie to Melbourne, far from their tropical home, all this travel surely doesn’t bode well for last-placed Cairns.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-aus-other/australian-nbl/s-e-melbourne-phoenix-v-cairns-taipans-8753544">S.E Melbourne Phoenix.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Melbourne United vs Brisbane Bullets Prediction</h2> <p><em><strong>Sunday, December 8, 2:30pm AEDT – John Cain Arena</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Table toppers Melbourne United are another one of the sides double dipping in NBL round 11.</p> <p>They’ll trade a tough game away against the Breakers, for one at home that should be much more straight forward.</p> <p>We aren’t giving the Bullets much hope of upsetting the table-toppers on the road here.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-aus-other/australian-nbl/melbourne-united-v-brisbane-bullets-8753545">Melbourne United.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Adelaide 36ers vs Perth Wildcats Prediction</h2> <p><em><strong>Sunday, December 8, 4:30pm AEDT – Adelaide Entertainment Centre</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The final game of NBL round 11 sees the 36ers welcome the Wildcats to Adelaide.</p> <p>It’s hard to read too much into this one before both sides have played their initial games of the round, but as it stands, the advantage should be with the home side.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-aus-other/australian-nbl/adelaide-36ers-v-perth-wildcats-8753547">Adelaide 36ers.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>NBL 2024-25 Championship Odds</h2>
