Josh Bannan and Andrew Carr lead six low-owned SuperCoach NBL options, every one averaging 20-plus.
- All 165 games of the NBL27 season in one list
- Every NBL27 roster, squad list and projected depth chart
- Every injured NBL player, with expected return dates
- Hammer Time: Who is leading the league in dunks
Six SuperCoach NBL players are averaging 20 or more heading into Round 5, and every one of them sits in fewer than one in 50 teams.
That is a deep POD (point of difference): a player your Head-to-Head opponent almost certainly does not own, scoring enough to swing the week.

The SuperCoach NBL Star Guard Tracker pool has shrunk with Parker Jackson-Cartwright ($405,200) out. Arnas Velicka ($277,000) out – two of the league’s best point-scorers – and that means PODs will become exceptionally valuable in head-to-head leagues.
- Josh Bannan ($317,500) leads the group with a 33.0 average, and Tasmania plays twice in Rounds 5, 7 and 9.
- Dylan Windler ($271,100) is the form pick. He has averaged 38.5 across Rounds 3 and 4 and climbed $49,900 to $321,000, although Perth plays only once this round.
- Andrew Carr ($277,000) and D'Shawn Schwartz ($277,000) also play twice in Round 5, and both are cheaper than they started.
- Jaylin Williams ($277,000) and Jaylon Brown ($277,000) round out the six, with Brisbane doubling from Round 6 and Cairns from Round 7.
Ownership moves right up to lockout, so check the table before you trade.
