South East Melbourne Phoenix vs Melbourne United Preview
Boy oh boy do we love a Throwdown.
It’s local derby time in the NBL Cup with the South-East Melbourne Phoenix taking on Melbourne United and this game should be a beauty.
They might be top of the table, but Melbourne United have had somewhat of a form slump recently.
Melbourne United was stunned by the Brisbane Bullets 88-96 on Sunday and only just got over the line against the NZ Breakers and Sydney Kings.
The South East Melbourne Phoneix have lost their past two games and these close losses may come back to haunt them when it comes to being in playoff contention, currently sitting in 7th place on the NBL ladder.
An upset over their cross-town rivals would really give their season a shot in the arm, but I just can’t see it happen.
The good teams just know how to win, and despite the hiccup on Sunday over the Bullets, you’d expect Melbourne United to get the job done and I’ll take them at the 1-10 point margin.
