SE Melbourne Phoenix Team News
The South East Melbourne Phoenix will enter the big derby in very solid form and on the back of a convincing win over the Cairns Taipans. The Phoenix had a slow start to the season due to numerous injuries and absences, but after the injured players returned their form improved dramatically.
For today´s Throwdown clash against United they will have their import Will Cummings back, but they will miss Gorjok Gak, who has been replaced by the legendary NBL veteran Daniel Johnson. In the first head-to-head clash of the season the Phoenix lost by double digits to United, but were missing many key players. This time they are the favourites against a heavily undermanned Melbourne United, whose team will enter the game without three crucial players.

Melbourne United Team News
Melbourne United currently sit at the top of table, but things are not looking good for them ahead of this Sunday´s derby clash. United will have their backs against the wall as they will miss three crucial contributors and leaders Matthew Dellavedova, import Ian Clark and Luke Travers, who are all dealing with injuries.
This gives a clear edge to the Phoenix, who have a superb opportunity to take down their fierce rivals. Bad luck for United, who will definitely try to make up for these huge absences with some tactical adjustments, but these absences should prove to be just too overwhelming for them.

SE Phoenix vs Melbourne United Prediction
Melbourne United are heavily shorthanded and will need something truly special to stay alive in this game. On the other hand, the Phoenix will have a complete lineup along with the addition of a proven NBL scorer Daniel Johnson, so we opted for the South East Melbourne Phoenix to win and to cover the spread.
