Melbourne United Team News
The NBL schedule made sure to give us a treat before the FIBA break with a mouthwatering top-of-the-table clash between the first-placed Melbourne United and the second-placed Sydney Kings. It should be a cracker of a game, especially after the heavily undermanned Melbourne United managed to dispose of their fierce intra-city rivals Melbourne Phoenix in the previous round.
For this game, United still won´t be able to count on two key players Matthew Dellavedova and import Ian Clark, but the good news is that Luke Travers will be back. However, facing a stacked Sydney Kings side these absences should prove to be the difference, because we doubt that the shorthanded United can cause two upsets in a row, especially against the reigning champions.
We are set to take on the Sydney Kings in a top-of-the-table clash to close Round 8 of NBL24. Read the DrinkWise Match Preview here ⬇️

Sydney Kings Team News
The reigning champions are rolling again after a two-game losing streak at the end of October. The Sydney Kings have strung together three consecutive victories courtesy of their star import DJ Hogg, whom they waited to come back from his injury for a long time.
Hogg was instrumental in Sydney´s last three wins, but the Kings have plenty of other weapons like Jonah Bolden, Jaylen Adams, Angus Glover and Denzel Valentine. This gives them a clear edge in today´s clash, so we really don´t understand how the bookmakers see the shorthanded United as the favourites in this game.

Melbourne United vs Sydney Kings Prediction
Melbourne United punched above their weight against the Melbourne Phoenix, but we doubt they will be able to do the same against the reigning champions without two key players. United are without Matthew Dellavedova and Ian Clark, so we opted for the Sydney Kings to cover the spread.
