Why we wrote this

Sydney top the NBL form table at 73% (24–9, +12.1 run differential). Brisbane Bullets sit at the bottom on 18% (6–27). The gap between top and bottom is 55 percentage points β€” a meaningful spread when the bookmakers come to price spreads and totals.

Highest-scoring offence: South East Melbourne at 100.7 PPG. Stingiest defence: Perth allowing just 86.1 PPG. When those two profiles meet β€” elite offence vs elite defence β€” totals tend to land 5–10% under the posted line because defensive pace dominates head-to-head.

The NBL form guide ranks every team currently active in the 2025-2026 season by win percentage, with PPG for/against and run differential alongside. The list refreshes every Monday so it always reflects the most recent results we hold.

Use it as your shortcut to the strongest streams of the week, the value bets on the table, and the matchups likeliest to actually be competitive when tip-off arrives. Cross-reference the NBL this week page for upcoming fixtures and the form-vs-form mismatches that drive most edges in the market.

FAQ

Who's top of the NBL form table?

Sydney currently top the NBL form ranking on 73% win rate (24–9). The full ordered list with last-5 sequences is below.

How is NBL form calculated?

Form is calculated as season-to-date win percentage in the current 2025-2026 season, sourced from official league standings via api-sports. We also show points-for and points-against per game (PPG), run differential (positive = scoring more than conceding), and last-5 result sequence (W/L tooltip).

How often does this NBL form guide update?

The page auto-refreshes every Monday at 06:00 UTC with results from the previous week. Mid-week scores are reflected on the next refresh. The data source is api-sports, the same feed used for the live and head-to-head sections of the site.

What can I do with NBL form data?

Cross-reference it with the NBL this week page β€” fixtures pitting a top-form side against a bottom-form side are where the line is softest, especially on Asian Handicap and team-totals. The biggest edge is form mismatches that the price hasn't fully priced in.
