Adelaide 36ers Team News
After two unsuccessful seasons, the Adelaide 36ers decided to keep head coach CJ Bruton, but it turned out to be a bad decision since the 36ers are currently bottom of the league with a 1-4 W-L record. Not a start that the Adelaide 36ers hoped for so they had to react quickly and they did just that by signing one of the NBL superstars and former Sydney Kings player Dejan Vasiljevic.
Can DJ rise the 36ers from the ashes? It remains to be seen, but he is certainly an electric new signing, who should make immediate impact and improve Adelaide´s performances. After five rounds played, the 36ers have only won one game against the Hawks in the last round showing once again they can´t compete against the heavyweights of the league, but things could change very quickly with Dejan Vasiljevic bolstering the squad.

South East Melbourne Phoenix Team News
Despite their injury woes, the South East Melbourne Phoenix are currently in the middle of the pack with a 2-3 W-L record. Things could have been much better if they had a full squad at their disposal from the start, but the Phoenix can be more than satisfied with their record so far, which includes two wins over two potential title favourites the Tasmania JackJumpers and the Perth Wildcats.
For today´s game there are some big news coming out from the Phoenix dugout as one of their leading imports Tyler Cook, who has been injured in the last two games, has left the team to make room for the returning import Alan Williams. Overall, it will be very interesting to see how the Phoenix adjust with Williams back in their frontcourt and without Cook, but they will certainly be in for a nail-biter clash against the Adelaide 36ers.

Adelaide 36ers vs South East Melbourne Phoenix Prediction
The Adelaide 36ers are aware they have no time to waste following a very poor start, so they decided to add a new superstar to their roster. Dejan Vasiljevic should make all the difference and lift this faltering 36ers squad, but the Phoenix also have solid chances with Alan Williams returning to the lineup.
All in all, we think that the new firepower of the 36ers will be too much for the Phoenix, whose team shouldn´t be such a clear favourite in this match. That’s why we opted for the hosts to cover the spread with their new reinforcement, who should make immediate impact and affect the game.
