Brisbane Bullets Team News
After Tanner Krebs and Tyler Johnson rejoined their team, the Bullets are now more competitive and will be even more powerful this Sunday with Tyrell Harrison returning from injury.
Brisbane ended their 5-game losing streak on home floor against the Wildcats and then fought until the end vs Adelaide three days ago. Ultimately they failed, but it was an acceptable 87:84 loss that gives their team optimism going forward.
Since they did have a 3-game winning streak earlier on in the season, Brisbane are actually still quite close to the top 6. There is still plenty of time left to completely rejoin the playoff battle and make the postseason. For that to happen, the Bullets need to beat opponents like United, who are one of their direct playoff rivals and just above them in the standings.
Melbourne United Team News
Besides the Brisbane Bullets, United are another team that is trying to revive its playoff hopes recently. Melbourne are nowhere near their former championship-level form and without the invididual quality to play at their past level. They have to rely on different options now and play team basketball, which is the only way their team can reach the playoffs.
Without their best player Chris Goulding at Qudos Bank Arena on Christmas, United were doomed to lose to the Sydney Kings before the game even started. Their efforts were not enough to avoid a heavy 101:80 loss, which also ended their season-best 3-game winning streak.
Brisbane Bullets vs Melbourne United Prediction
The hosts will welcome back an extra piece, but United definitely have all it takes to win this kind of a game away from home. It is difficult to predict the winner, but we are under the impression that the longer rotation of the Bullets will be decisive despite Melbourne having Chris Goulding back.
