NBL Championship and MVP Odds

PERTH WILDCATS 3.00
GOLD COAST BLAZE 4.00
MELBOURNE TIGERS 5.00
NEW ZEALAND BREAKERS 8.00
SYDNEY KINGS 9.00
ADELAIDE 36ERS 15.00
WOLLONGONG HAWKS 15.00
CAIRNS TAIPANS 26.00
TOWNSVILLE CROCODILES 26.00

If there were a trading market for bets, I think you could pick up Adelaide at $15 and sell down the track.

Perth are short, but I think they're also such strong favourites that you'd have to consider it. Breakers could be value at $8. Nothing else though.

Here are the MVP odds:

MILLS, Patty (MEL) 2.50
KHAZZOUH, Julian (SYD) 5.00
WORTHINGTON, Mark (GCB) 5.00
REDHAGE, Shawn (PER) 7.00
MARTIN, Damian (PER) 12.00
UBAKA, Ayinde (MEL) 15.00
WARREN, Chris (ADE) 17.00
ABERCROMBIE, Thomas (NZL) 21.00
GIBSON, Adam (GCB) 21.00
GRANT, Jerai (SYD) 21.00
LOUGHTON, Alex (CRN) 21.00
NEVILL, Luke (PER) 21.00
WILKINSON, Gary (NZL) 21.00
CATRON, Joevan (WOL) 41.00
MIMS, Elvin (TOW) 41.00
SCHENSCHER, Luke (TOW) 41.00
BALLINGER, Adam (ADE) 51.00
WEIGH, Stephen (ADE) 51.00
CROSSWHITE, Ian (CRN) 61.00
FORMAN, Oscar (WOL) 61.00
GYNES, Alex (SYD) 61.00
HARVEY, James (GCB) 61.00
JOHNSON, Daniel (ADE) 61.00
KNIGHT, Matthew (PER) 61.00
VUKONA, Mika (NZL) 61.00
WARREN, Andrew (CRN) 61.00
WILSON, Jamar (CRN) 61.00
BURSTON, Matthew (MEL) 81.00
CRAWFORD, Peter (TOW) 81.00
DAVIDSON, Larry (WOL) 81.00
DORSEY, Ronald (MEL) 81.00
LISCH, Kevin (PER) 81.00
SAVILLE, Glen (WOL) 81.00
TRAGARDH, Cameron (MEL) 81.00

Not excited about any of those short-priced options. Mills may not stay the entire season. Khazzouh will have more competition at the Kings this year. It's quite remarkable that the first NZ appearances are from $21 and up.

One of these guys wouldn't be out of the question:

ABERCROMBIE, Thomas (NZL) 21.00 - someone is going to have to fire for NZ
WILKINSON, Gary (NZL) 21.00 - can score and board
BALLINGER, Adam (ADE) 51.00 - has been an MVP candidate in the past
WEIGH, Stephen (ADE) 51.00 - could be his year
JOHNSON, Daniel (ADE) 61.00 - or his
DORSEY, Ronald (MEL) 81.00 - wouldn't count him out
TRAGARDH, Cameron (MEL) 81.00 - someone has to get the numbers inside at Melbourne

I like Damien Martin for MVP.

The bookies must believe the whole NBA season will be lost to have Mills as the favorite. If this is the case, then no way Ubaka comes close MVP.

Abercrombie will have to break out to be in contention for MVP, IMO. Does he have the ability to replace Penney's scoring?

Chris Warren must be good to be so high up. Even more so for Jerai Grant, considering he has to compete with Khazzouh to be the Kings best player.

Nige, they could just be covering themselves in case he does.

Cell, that's what I thought. I think he averaged 20 PPG or more in the Blitz.

Before someone complains about me even mentioning Weigh or Johnson, remember that I'm not predicting either as MVP, just saying that as long options they could get it done.

Someone averaging 18 and 10 or 22 and 7 could get MVP and either of those guys could potentially do that based on their pre-seasons. Adelaide has a broader spread of options than in past years. I'm hoping Warren will be solid, but I'm not sure a 15/4/6 guy would go MVP unless the team topped the ladder (e.g., Martin and Cats).

Centrebets Odds:

8/10 Adelaide $1.30 v Perth $3.45

That's just hilarious. I'm considering putting money on Perth here.

(That's not the real odds, NBL.com.au stuffed up, it's the one for T'ville v Cairns)

Remember last season Ervin was around $27 at the start of the season. Hudson , Jackson (NZ) dont get a mention but Gynes does.
Wilkinson great value at $21 as I think he was next player from the Breakers after Penney in all star voting last year
