Melbourne United Team News

With Matthew Dellavedova on the sidelines, Melbourne United managed to regroup and extend their winnning streak to five games delivering big time against the Tasmania JackJumpers away from home. Led by the returnee Jo Lual-Acuil United managed to prevail 90:82 and currently hold the top of the league with an impressive 7-1 W-L record.

Dellavedova remains questionable for this game against the faltering Hawks, who can always be dangerous if underestimated. They proved that with a win over the Taipans in the last round, but their opponents were shorthanded. Overall, United will enter this game as convincing favourites and deserve the advantage given to them by the bookmakers.

We're aiming for their sixth win in a row on Sunday afternoon when we take on the Illawarra Hawks at home. Read the DrinkWise Match Preview here ⬇️

Illawarra Hawks Team News

Despite their narrow one-point win over the Taipans in the last round, it is again not working out for the Illawarra Hawks this season. They are currently in the lower end of the table with a 2-4 W-L record and only managed to win against shorthanded teams. This is definitely a sign of concern for the Hawks, who need to step up their game as soon as possible.

The have conceded over a 100 points in three games this season, but lately they have shown some improvements. Defense will be crucial in this duel if they want to stop Melbourne, so we expect their gameplan to be defensive-minded with minimizing the point total of the game. In addition, the Hawks have also been one of the weaker offensive teams which should reflect against the hosts who only concede 80 points per game.
