Adelaide 36ers Team News
The Adelaide 36ers were gearing up for a crucial win in Brisbane, but got hit by bad news just before the game with their leading point guard Mitch McCarron unavailable due to family reasons. Without his presence, the team looked disorganized and inefficient but still managed to force overtime.
In the end, the 36ers didn´t have enough composure to secure an absolutely vital win. This means they now have to go all out in the remaining four rounds, because their main rivals from Melbourne currently own a two-game advantage over them in the standings. A loss today would probably put an end to Adelaide´s playoff hopes, which makes this contest the most important one in the 36ers season.
Melbourne United Team News
With a weakened team, the magic wand of head coach Dean Vickerman might not be enough for Melbourne United to reach the playoffs this season. At the moment, they are in a tight playoff battle and basically have to win every game to stand a chance. The 36ers away from home will be a very tough assignment, but Melbourne have to come up with something big to make the Finals after all the disappointing results.
Lately, United´s form has risen dramatically, as they have managed to win their last seven out of eight games in the last 30 days, including two memorable wins in New Zealand and Tasmania. The only defeat they suffered was at the hands of the defending champions Sydney Kings, so Melbourne might be a serious contender if they keep this form going.

Adelaide 36ers vs Melbourne United Prediction
The public is riding the Adelaide train so far with the staking, but we simply see no real value in that option. Regardless of some absences hampering them, the 36ers have been very unstable this season and just lost to one of the weakest teams in the league.
In our opinion, Melbourne United need to have a clear advantage in this matchup because of their excellent form and deserve our backing for very solid 1.91 moneyline odds.
