Melbourne United Team News
Despite the difficulties they have been experiencing, Melbourne have managed to win their opening game against the New Zealand Breakers after an overtime thriller. United have quality in their roster this season, but not as many experienced players as before who can provide numbers every game.
Their results should be more unstable compared to recent years because this season their roster is missing an NBA-calibre player. After their opening win they proved they have the potential to make the playoffs, but their true quality will be shown in the clash against the one of the main title favourites Sydney.
Sydney Kings Team News
The Kings have opened their account with two wins and also a 100 or more points scored in both of those games. The defending champions are stamping their authority on the league after securing two comfortable victories, but there is no doubt they will be tested by a Melbourne side which has seen better days.
Hosts have defensive problems that should be exploited by the Kings. They averaged 100+ ppg in their opening two games while Melbourne will be without their defensive specialist Shea Ili. All of this points towards another routine win by the reigning champions, although it will not be easy.
Melbourne United vs. Sydney Kings Prediction
United conceded almost a 100 points in their opener vs the Breakers. It is true it was after overtime, but Sydney have scored a 106 and 100 points against Brisbane and Illawarra whose teams have very strong defenses.
It should be an interesting game but we will back the Kings to win with the moneyline option including overtime.
