South East Melbourne Phoenix Team News
Even though they had a full lineup at their disposal, the South East Melbourne Phoenix faltered away from home against the Bullets in Brisbane losing convincingly by 16 points, which snapped their four-game winning streak.
Since the return of some key pieces that were absent, the Phoenix have really risen in form and in the standings, but this last loss and the absences of import Will Cummings and Gorjok Gak should slow them down. However, they still hold a clear advantage at home because the guests are also suffering from some important absences and should be able to win this game.

Cairns Taipans Team News
The Cairns Taipans are currently in shaky form and find themselves midtable. At home as always they have been very dangerous, but the situation changes on the road where they are much weaker. For the second game in a row they will be missing their import Patrick Miller and also Lachlan Anderson. The absence of their star import makes today´s clash very demanding for them with a potential blowout on the cards.
The Taipans are entering the match with a huge disadvantage as this game is an ideal opportunity for the Phoenix to recover. In addition, this is a direct clash for the top of standings, so whoever wins can crawl inside top 3 or even top 2 possibly. Excellent chance for the Melbourne Phoenix, but as always it can be unpredictable in the Australian NBL.
