Sydney Kings vs SE Melbourne Phoenix Prediction 04.01.2023. The reigning champions will be looking to extend their 2-game winning streak and take advantage of the poor form of the NZ Breakers to create even more separation at the top. The Melbourne Phoenix seem to be an ideal opponent for that at the moment after they failed to keep up with the JackJumpers and suffered yet another defeat caused by roster absences.

Sydney Kings Team News

The new season proved very demanding for the Sydney Kings with a lot of competitive teams around them, but recently many of their main rivals have suffered drops in their form due to covid and injuries.

On the other hand, the Kings have remained more or less intact and managed to sustain strong form to keep themselves at the top of standings with 2 extra wins over the Breakers. The champions took advantage of a shorthanded Melbourne United side and added another convincing victory against the JackJumpers.

Today´s game will be their third straight on home floor and another excellent opportunity against an undermanned and troubled team.

We’re out for revenge this Wednesday against the Phoenix, who beat us in a double overtime thriller the last time we played.

Don’t miss this chance to make a difference in our charge towards a finals spot.

SE Melbourne Phoenix Team News

The Melbourne Phoenix were showing recovery signs, but then encountered massive obstacles in view of numerous key injuries and illnesses that have absolutely ravaged their squad. As a result of this all-out spree of absences, the Phoenix have suffered greatly and lost two consecutive games against Adelaide and Tasmania.

They continue to battle absences as today they will be without one of their import players Trey Kell, who joins Gary Browne on the injury list. However, the Phoenix have something to look forward to as one of their key starters, Ryan Broekhoff, will make his return after missing three straight games due to injury.

🚨 𝑰𝒏𝒋𝒖𝒓𝒚 𝑼𝒑𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆 🚨

An import is out of the side for tomorrow’s clash against the Kings while another starter makes his return.

Sydney Kings vs SE Melbourne Phoenix Prediction

The Melbourne Phoenix are facing another mountain to climb at Qudos Bank Arena, with a decimated rotation against the star-studded hosts full of individual quality. At the moment, the Kings have too much firepower, which should be more than enough to take command of the game in the first half and come away with a routine victory.
