Preview:
A jam-packed crowd in Christchurch is expected for this game, and as the odds suggest, anything outside a Breakers blowout would be a huge surprise.
The Kiwis are laying -7.5 in the midst of a three-game winning streak. New Zealand has been the best side to bet on all year at the line going 16-9-1 overall and 5-2 as the home favourite, making it almost impossible to back against the Breakers.
With only two wins from their last 12 games, the season can’t end soon enough for South-East Melbourne. After beating the Breakers in Round 5, the Phoenix have gone on to lose twice to the Kiwis.
The Phoenix have also been terrible this year on the road winning only three of their 10 games. With everything to play for and a raucous crowd behind them, this should be a comfortable New Zealand victory as they return to the finals for the first time since 2018.
Tip: New Zealand Breakers at $1.14
