SE Melbourne Phoenix Team News
Last time these two fierce rivals met, the Phoenix had a golden opportunity to take down the heavily shorthanded United, but failed to do so. This time the story is different. As we know, the South East Melbourne Phoenix recently released one of their main imports Will Cummings and managed to sign a replacement in Abdel Nader, but his debut in the Throwdown seems highly unlikely since he will arrive to Melbourne on Thursday.
This means that the Phoenix could be shorthanded and with only two imports, but they had the same situation in the previous round against the reigning champions Sydney Kings and managed to pull off a stunning 104:94 win. This sets them up nicely for the big derby, but small advantage has to be given to United because of Phoenix´s roster situation.
Getting set for a big round 11! 💪

Melbourne Utd Team News
After a completely unexpected home loss to the Cairns Taipans, current league leaders made amends for that defeat in the previous round by absolutely crushing the Brisbane Bullets 103:68. It was a comprehensive all-around display by United, who had five players finish the game in double-digits, which sets them up perfectly for the mouthwatering derby.
Melbourne United already got the better off their rivals twice this season. Could a third win in a row be on the cards, we shall see, but this derby game shouldn´t definitely not disappoint. We should be in for a cracking game with United having a complete roster, which gives them a small upper hand heading into the game.
We will kick off Round 11 with a huge Throwdown clash with the South East Melbourne Phoenix. Read the @DrinkWiseAus Preview here ⬇️

Total Over seems like a very viable option, but since the Phoenix will most probably enter the game slightly shorthanded, we opted for Melbourne United to win and to cover the spread in this highly anticipated clash.
