The 36ers with the league’s best scorer Bryce Cotton, are sitting 2nd on the NBL ladder, have won 4 in a row and are tightening the screws defensively. They have a 6-2 home record this season and are top 5 in almost all metrics across the board.
Since altering their lineup and putting Dejan Vasiljevic in charge of the second unit, the 36ers have improved from the league’s worst scoring bench to the 3rd ranked scoring. For a team that has consistently had problems with depth and balance across 4 quarters this is a significant improvement which has led to success.
Brisbane have just had an amazingly bad run with luck the past few years. Injuries have derailed their season multiple times and despite having good individual players, the constant re-jigging is hurting their flow and consistency. They were able to get up to push United following Casey Prather’s season ending injury but then flopped dramatically against SEM the following week. They need to figure out their scoring and fast.
This one should be pretty cut and dry. Adelaide in scintillating form, at home and against a tired and down on confidence Bullets, 8.5 pts is not enough. Take the line for the home favourite, Zylan Cheatham for 15+ pts, Bryce for 30+ and let’s see if DJ can repeat his effort with another 15+ off the bench.
- Adelaide have won 4 in a row, are 6-2 at home and have averaged 98.3 pts per game over their last 4, 2nd in the NBL.
- Zylan Cheatham has hit 15+ pts in 3 of his last 4 games and has hit double digits in 7 of his last 8.
- Bryce Cotton leads the league in Scoring and had 39 pts in the previous meeting with Brisbane earlier this year.
- Dejan Vasiljevic scored 22 pts in his last game off the bench and has taken the league’s worst scoring 2nd unit to the 3rd best over the past 4 games.

Adelaide 36ers Form & Team News
Adelaide are rolling on a 4 game win streak, pushing their record to 11-3 and sitting 2nd in the standings. Prior to the international break they took care of the Illawarra Hawks 97-85 before downing SE Melbourne 94-81 to put space between them and the 3rd placed Phoenix on the NBL ladder.
In general, it is still the Bryce Cotton show. The 5 time MVP is leading the league in scoring with 27.1 pts per game and has put up 19, 31 and 41 in his last 3 matches. Dejan Vasiljevic exploded for 22 pts off the bench against SEM, his biggest score in his new role in the 2nd unit.
Adelaide are a top 3 scoring team in the league, something a team with Bryce Cotton will always be. But what has helped them win games this year is their defence, also ranked 3rd in opposition points and 2nd in opposition rebounds.
Brisbane Bullets Form & Team News
Brisbane finished the first half of the season on a 3 game losing streak. Their two round 9 matchups like chalk and cheese, a blow out loss to the Breakers 113-84 before pushing the league leading Melbourne United to 99-93. Then another 103-76 blowout in round 10 to the Phoenix.
Scoring is, and will continue to be a problem for the Bullets. They have hit 85+ pts just once in their last 5 games and on the season are averaging only 88.7 pts per game, ranked 7th in the league.
Their defence isn’t any better, 8th in opposition scoring, 10th in opposition assists and 10th in opposition FG%. They have some good indivídual players and we have seen them get up for games against some opponents. But the consistency isn’t there and it is going to be a long second half of the season for the Bullets.
