Brisbane Bullets Team News
After five straight losses, the Bullets finally won a game against the Hawks this Monday. It was a convincing 82:56 win, that should get Aron Baynes and Brisbane going. They now face the same opponent, but the big difference is that the Hawks will be reinforced with a player who averaged excellent numbers in the league before, Peyton Siva.
As expected, the Bullets have been given a clear advantage. As hosts they are expected to win routinely, but we think the bookmakers are wrong about the Hawks´ chances. In Monday´s game, Brisbane had a rebounding advantage and more offensive options, but the situation will be different today.
Illawarra Hawks Team News
The Hawks had high hopes at the start of the new season, but were shaken up by the injury of one of their stars Justin Robinson. In order to finally become more competitive and add their offense a much-needed new scoring option, they signed Peyton Siva. After a very strong showing last season for the NZ Breakers, he has been given the confidence to save the season for Illawarra.
Lachlan Dent has been a revelation this season. Along with the performances of Tyler Harvey, that has giventhe Hawks a good foundation, but they are missing an extra scoring threat. George King has been underperforming in recent games, which has only exacerbated Illawarra´s offensive problems and as a result they have dropped to the bottom of the standings.
Brisbane Bullets vs. Illawarra Hawks Prediction
In our opinion, the spread is too high. Brisbane are favourites in front of their fans, but the Hawks will have the presence of their new import. In addition, the hosts will also be without a very important offensive option, Devondrick Walker.
