SuperCoach NBL PODs: Ultimate Round 9 Guide

Eight clubs play twice in Round 9, and all 14 of our low-owned SuperCoach picks get two games each.

Yannis Morin ($277,000) has 37, 35 and 47 in his last three games for a 39.7 average, the best POD form on the list.

He rose $39,400 in the Round 8 update, the biggest rise of last week's PODs, and his ownership has nearly tripled to 4.3 per cent since the Round 8 lockout. The Phoenix host the Illawarra Hawks on Wednesday and visit Melbourne United on Saturday.

Eight of the 10 clubs play twice in Round 9 of SuperCoach NBL, so a point of difference this week has to do more than double. Only the Adelaide 36ers and Cairns Taipans play once, and all 14 players on this week's list get two games.

A POD (point of difference) is a player your head-to-head opponent almost certainly does not own, scoring enough to swing the week. All 14 were in fewer than 10 per cent of SuperCoach NBL teams when ownership was checked at 8.45am on Tuesday, November 10.

How this table is built, and where the numbers come from
All under 10% owned, 3+ games, not listed out, unconfirmed or day-to-day, and playing twice in Round 9. v R9 opp is his SuperCoach score the last time he played each Round 9 opponent: this season where they have met, otherwise his last NBL26 meeting, finals included; “no data” means he has not played them in either season. Doubles shows Round 9 games, then rounds 9 to 15 in which the club plays twice. Last 3 is the average of his last three games. Start > Now is the starting price and the price after the Round 8 update; Last move is that update. Season box is per game, Rounds 1 to 8, from NBL box scores; SuperCoach totals match SuperCoach’s own. Own % is live Round 9 ownership and moves until lockout. Round 9 breakevens were not yet published. Checked on 10 November 2026.

The round runs from Wednesday, November 11 to Sunday, November 15. The South East Melbourne Phoenix double again in Rounds 10 and 11, so their players carry six games across the next three rounds.

Dakota Mathias ($145,200) has averaged 34.3 across his last three and is now $258,900, up $113,700 since Round 1. Josh Bannan ($317,500) is in just 1.5 per cent of teams, averages 30.8 and scored 42 the last time he played the Brisbane Bullets. The Tasmania JackJumpers visit the Perth Wildcats on Thursday and Brisbane on Sunday.

Torrey Craig ($290,400), Tyrell Harrison ($336,100) and Nathan Sobey ($379,600) are the premium options. Torrey Craig ($290,400) has 35, 14 and 38 in his last three and scored 37 the last time he played the New Zealand Breakers, who visit the Sydney Kings on Sunday after Sydney's trip to Cairns on Friday.

Tyrell Harrison ($336,100) is the most-owned player on the list at 6.5 per cent, and his season-best 59 is the highest single score of the 14, but he managed 7 in his most recent game. Brisbane visit New Zealand on Friday and host Tasmania on Sunday, and he scored 48 against the JackJumpers in October. Nathan Sobey ($379,600) is in 3.9 per cent of teams, sits $82,900 under his starting price and scored 41 in his last game, the same score he made the last time he played Illawarra.

D'Shawn Schwartz ($277,000), Raul Neto ($277,000), Nick Marshall ($203,400) and Angus Glover ($191,700) are the mid-price options. D'Shawn Schwartz ($277,000) (41, 36 and 22) and Angus Glover ($191,700) (30, 24 and 23) are two more routes into the Phoenix's run of doubles. Raul Neto ($277,000) is in 1.1 per cent of teams, averages 5.3 assists and scored 57 across Brisbane's Round 8 double. Nick Marshall ($203,400) rose $18,600 in the Round 8 update and has 38 and 26 in his last two.

Mitch Norton ($160,600) and Tyler Robertson ($106,800) are the cheap options. Mitch Norton ($160,600) has averaged 19.3 across his last three and, at $128,600, is still $32,000 under his starting price. Tyler Robertson ($106,800) has 20, 16 and 15 in his last three and rose $19,700, and the Kings play twice in five of the next six rounds.

Taran Armstrong ($304,700) and Joe Ingles ($300,000) are flagged as traps despite two games each. Taran Armstrong ($304,700) has the best season average of the 14 at 31.9, but has averaged 23.7 across his last three and fell $22,500 in the Round 8 update. Joe Ingles ($300,000) has 24, 20 and 11 in his last three, fell $15,200 and is $69,500 under his starting price.

Ownership moves right up to lockout, so check the table before you trade. Round 9 starts locking at 7:30pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, November 11, when the Phoenix host the Hawks.

How this table is built, and where the numbers come from
The 14 players from the Round 8 points-of-difference table. R8 pts, games and minutes are SuperCoach’s Round 8 figures; points and games match the NBL box scores, and SuperCoach rounds minutes up. Price move after R8 is the change SuperCoach applied after Round 8. Start price is the Round 1 price and SC price the current price. Own % at R8 lock is ownership at the Round 8 lockout; Own % now was read at 8.45am Tuesday 10 November 2026 and moves until the Round 9 lockout.

Jack McVeigh ($349,800) was the Round 8 POD that paid off, scoring 95 across Cairns' double and rising $31,100 in the price update that followed. Below is how all 14 Round 8 PODs performed, to help you decide ahead of Round 9.

The group scored 587 points across 23 games, 25.5 a game, just under the 25.6 a game the Round 7 PODs managed. Malique Lewis ($207,900) was next best on 61, followed by Elijah Pepper ($202,700) on 53, and Yannis Morin ($277,000) had the biggest rise, $39,400, after 47 in his only game.

The misses: Andrew Carr ($277,000) scored 13 in his one game and fell $21,500, and Dylan Windler ($271,100), the most-owned player on last week's list, made 33 across two and fell $24,200.

Both trap calls held. Milton Doyle ($274,700) scored 40 across two and fell $4,300, and Jaylin Williams ($277,000) scored 36 and fell $16,200.
