Adelaide 36ers vs Brisbane Bullets Frequently Asked Questions

The 36ers have marched up the standings winning 6 of their last 8 games and now hold serve as the 6th placed team. With some tough teams to play in their remaining 2 games after this one it is imperative for them to take the win here to secure a play-in spot.

Brisbane’s season is over and the injuries that they have sustained have completely unravelled the team. Both their offensive and defensive structures have been inconsistent over the last one-two months of play and now meeting Adelaide at home it will be a difficult task to limit their dynamic scoring.

Brisbane don’t have the bodies to match Montrezl Harrell, Isaac Humphries and Jarell Martin even if they can possibly limit DJ and KD. Adelaide will get their opportunities to score and the only way they don’t go over 100 points is if they have a bad shooting night, which is not a common occurance at home.

Take the 36ers on the line, team total Over and Montrezl to dominate in the paint going over his points totals.

The 36ers are averaging 98.8 points per game in their last 10 matchups.
Adelaide are ranked 6th in defence this season but have allowed an average of just 82.3 to opponents in their last 3 home games.
Brisbane are the 10th ranked defensive team in the league allowing 98.1 pts per game on the season and 101.3 pts per game in their last 10.
Montrezl Harrell is averaging 13.1 pts in the paint this season, the most of any player.

Adelaide 36ers Form & Team News

There is no stopping the Adelaide Train right now. They have won 6 of their last 8 games and have temporarily taken a spot in the Play-In knocking out the defending champs Tasmania.

Being a win and a loss in front of the Jackies means Adelaide hold their fate in their own hands with 3 games left in the regular season. Following this one though are tough matchups against the Phoenix and Wildcats who are both jostling for play-off seeding.

The 36ers have continued to defy expectations by winning games despite inconsistency from the playing and coaching groups. Their most recent game, a 16 point win over the Breakers is a prime example with Adelaide having just 12 points and 3 made field goals from their bench in the game.

Luckily their stars Kendric Davis and Montrezl Harrell are two unstoppable forces in this league, effectively carrying their team to victory on most nights. The defence has been caught lacking at times, with big swings depending on the opponent and matchup. They currently rank 7th in the league in opposition points on the season.

Brisbane Bullets Form & Team News

Brisbane temporarily gave their fans hope last round by taking a win over the luckless New Zealand Breakers, just their second in their 9 most recent games. But they went and backed up the performance with a 115-88 loss to Melbourne United at home on Sunday.

Melbourne had 50 points off their bench and 50 points in the paint in the matchup completely dominating the Bullets in the second quarter from which they never recovered.

Brisbane have been one of the most injury ravaged teams in the league this season which has made it difficult to navigate a tough and heavy schedule in the back half of the season. With a number of players still on the sideline the remaining players are doing what they can but it is obviously not enough against top talent from other teams that are starting to peak.

The Bullets will likely finish the season as the worst defensive team in the league with their average opposition points approaching the dreaded 100 per game mark.
