Beat The Coach: Top Round 11 picks & PLAY NOW

The FIBA Break is over and NBL action is back, which also means the return of Beat The Coach presented by Choice Hotels.

We saw plenty of impressive performances back in Round 10, and a few strong showings when the Boomers took on the Tall Blacks in a pair of clashes over the weekend.

With six teams playing twice this weekend, there are plenty of stars with momentum to carry into Round 11.

Damon Lowery fell to over 3000 coaches last round, so he’ll be looking to get back to his very best in Round 11 as NBL26 continues to heat up.

105 SuperCoach points for Round 10 was Bryce Cotton’s second biggest week in Beat The Coach so far this season, and he’s still by far the most reliable premium scoring option in the game. If you’re willing to part with $479,900 to get him in your team, he’ll definitely be worth it.

Teammate Zylan Cheatham also put in a pair of massive performances, finishing with 81 SuperCoach points for the round, while Isaac Humphries put up a more respectable 58 points and remains a solid pick at the center position.

Speaking of top-tier center picks, JaVale McGee was immense for the Illawarra Hawks in Round 10, finishing with 94 SuperCoach points for the weekend. Partner in crime Will Hickey was also fantastic once again, with his well rounded statlines helping him to 71 SuperCoach points for the round.

Melbourne United’s backcourt duo of Milton Doyle and Tyson Walker both scored brilliantly last round, with 79 and 66 SuperCoach points respectively, while Jesse Edwards was dominant once again with 55 SuperCoach points, his biggest total in a two game weekend since Round 4.

New Zealand’s starting lineup has enjoyed a solid run of form, led last week by a 42 SuperCoach point display from Izaiah Brockington against the Taipans. Teammates Parker Jackson-Cartwright and Sam Mennenga also contributed well with 40 and 35 points respectively, and they have been reliable picks in Beat The Coach so far this season.

Kristian Doolittle starred for the Perth Wildcats in Round 10, with 89 SuperCoach points, while Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. (55 points) and David Duke Jr. (40 points) both impressed throughout the weekend.

-Names listed alphabetically

Flynn Cameron and Dejan Vasiljevic were both strong for the 36ers in Round 10 with 37 SuperCoach points each for the round, largely thanks to a pair of solid performances against the South East Melbourne Phoenix.

Their teammate Nick Rakocevic suffered a slight dip in form with just 8 SuperCoach points, though he averaged 18.3 SuperCoach points per game prior to Round 10 and remains an intriguing budget friendly pick heading into Round 11.

Wani Swaka Lo Buluk has kept a firm grip on his starting role at the Illawarra Hawks and had a strong weekend with 30 SuperCoach points in Round 10. Mason Peatling was equally impressive off the bench, making the most of his more limited minutes and finishing with 26 SuperCoach points for the weekend.

Johny Narkle’s scoring potential is not as high as the aforementioned pair, but he has seen decent minutes for the Hawks in recent weeks and his $70,800 price tag means he is still a fantastic option for those wishing to invest their cash elsewhere in their team.

Kyle Bowen and Dash Daniels both impressed for Melbourne United last round, with 29 SuperCoach points each for the weekend. Priced at $130,400 (Bowen) and $113,700 (Daniels), the output from each player in Round 10 was quite strong for where their price tags currently sit.

New Zealand’s premium priced stars have dominated much of their scoring in recent weeks, but Carlin Davison has been reliable this season with an average of 12.4 and the highest scoring ceiling of any Breakers player around his price tag. Davison’s minutes have rarely taken a hit this season, and at just $123,500, he remains a decent budget friendly option for coaches.

Ben Henshall contributed well for the Perth Wildcats in a round that was dominated by their four aforementioned stars, finishing the weekend with 29 SuperCoach points coming off the bench against the JackJumpers and Melbourne United.

Jordan Hunter had a huge weekend, scoring 80 SuperCoach points in Round 10. His price saw a big increase off the back of it, jumping to $207,800, but he remains in affordable territory heading into Round 11. Wes Iwundu was also very impressive, finishing the round with 53 SuperCoach points in his first two games as a starter for the South East Melbourne Phoenix.
