Why we wrote this

Tasmania JackJumpers top the NBL form table at 71% (5-2, +3.0 run differential). Illawarra Hawks sit at the bottom on 25% (2-6). The gap between top and bottom is 46 percentage points , a meaningful spread when the bookmakers come to price spreads and totals.

Highest-scoring offence: Sydney at 101.0 PPG. Stingiest defence: New Zealand Breakers allowing just 89.0 PPG. When those two profiles meet , elite offence vs elite defence , 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 2026-2027 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.

FAQ

How is NBL form calculated?

Form is calculated as season-to-date win percentage in the current 2026-2027 season, sourced from official league standings. 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 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 , 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.
