Mandurah Magic Team News
The roster that Mandurah Magic put together this season is not a mere shadow of the star-studded lineup they boasted last season, when they were one of the main title favourites. The roster changes they made have seriously reflected on the standings as the Magic are currently bottom of the league with only two wins after 21 rounds and currently find themselves on a 6-game losing streak.
Their playoff hopes were extinguished a long time ago with their modest team playing only for pride led by one of the top centers in the league Ray Turner, who just hasn´t received enough support this season.
In addition, Mandurah will enter today´s clash against Lakeside with only two import players Dequan Abrom and Ray Turner with Issac Abergut and CJ Bobbitt sidelined, which will be a huge blow to their already depleted squad.
Lakeside Lightning Team News
The Lakeside Lightning have had an up and down season, but eventually they managed to do just enough as they find themselves in eighth place in the standings with a solid 10-11 W-L record.
Led by a new and quality head coach Mike Malat they had a slow start but after the return of one of their premiere scorers from college Rowan Mackenzie they finally got the ball rolling and spent the entire month of June undefeated.
Following their 4-game winning streak from June, they had their credentials severely tested against top teams like the Rockingham Flames and the Geraldton Buccaneers, but lost both games narrowly. Last weekend they managed to pull off a huge win against one of the playoff contenders the Warwick Senators, but then fell just short against another playoff contender Joondalup Wolves away from home in a heart-stopping 85:83 defeat.
Mandurah Magic vs Lakeside Lightning Prediction
Lakeside Lightning still have all to play for as they look to secure the final playoff spot after a shaky season. With a sound coach leading the pack and with new additions coming in midseason they managed to weather the storm and go on a crucial 4-game winning streak in June to inch closer to a playoff berth.
The Mandurah Magic are nowhere near their firepower from last season and it has reflected on the standings, so we opted for the Lakeside Lightning to win this game and to cover the spread.
