Sydney Kings Team News
In one of the most extraordinary, if not the most extraordinary games in NBL history, with the shot clock turned off for the entire second half, the Sydney Kings managed to emerge victorious away from home against the Cairns Taipans in a tight affair 86:83.
That win finally snapped a two-game losing streak and secured the third place for the reigning champions, who will now look to continue their winning form at home against the shorthanded Melbourne Phoenix. The Kings are almost complete for this matchup and will only miss Kouat Noi due to a knee injury.
The Sydney Kings have returned to the winner’s circle, defeating the @CairnsTaipans 86-83 in one of the most extraordinary @NBL games in recent memory.

SE Melbourne Phoenix Team News
Even though the South East Melbourne Phoenix are in solid form following their 90:79 win over the New Zealand Breakers, things are not looking good for them ahead of the Sunday´s clash against the Kings.
Important role player Craig Moller has been injured and ruled out for the season while Reuben Te Rangi will miss the game due to family reasons. In the meantime, the Phoenix released one of their star American imports Will Cummings and still haven´t found a replacement for today´s game. It will be very tough for them to keep up against the best offensive team away from home without these roster pieces and the Sydney Kings should take full advantage.
The Phoenix has parted ways with import Will Cummings, effective immediately.

Sydney Kings vs SE Melbourne Phoenix Prediction
The South East Melbourne Phoenix are entering the game without a couple of crucial offensive pieces, so they will have to rely on their shaky defense to stay in touching distance. However, they have been conceding 91 ppg, so the Sydney Kings really look poised to win this game at home and cover the spread.
