United are coming off what is possibly their worst loss of the season, scoring their lowest total and being blown out by 19 pts. They had a very poor shooting night in a slow paced game where they usually are strong. Their defence is suffering and they have fallen down to 7th in the league in FG%.
Brisbane showed heart in the game following the loss of Casey Prather, then they continued to get belted before showing a bit of heart again in beating the Breakers before Christmas, also after losing their coach. It just feels like this team has enough energy for one good game every few weeks and there in between they fall apart.
The Bullets are the 8th ranked scoring offence, and the 8th ranked scoring defence. They commit the most turnovers of any team in the league while their rebounding on both ends of the court is below average.
Everything is pointing to a Melbourne victory including their record of 15 wins from the last 16 games against the Bullets. Take United to win and cover the line with the Game total going over 181.5 and their Team total going over 93.5. Take Tyson Walker for 15+ pts
- Brisbane are 2-7 at home this season and have beaten Melbourne just once since April 2021 and have not beaten Melbourne in Brisbane since February 2020.
- Melbourne are still the 2nd best scoring team in the league, averaging 94.8 pts per game on the season.
- The Game Total has gone Over in 4 of the last 5 matchups between these two teams.
- Tyson Walker has hit 15+ in 2 straight games and has seen higher usage in those two games.

Brisbane Bullets Form & Team News
Brisbane surprised everyone on Monday with a 99-85 defeat of the New Zealand Breakers. Coming in as 6 pt underdogs and riding a 7 game losing streak that started with a 113-84 loss to the same Breakers back in Round 9, it was not a great spot for the Bullets.
But Brisbane shot 40.7% from distance in the matchup compared to NZ’s 22.2% while also dominating the glass, outrebounding their opponent 48-36 despite being one of the worst rebounding teams in the league.
The team is a basketcase but it is positive to see that they are still trying and are able to grab a win in a tough spot.
Melbourne United Form & Team News
Melbourne took another loss on Tuesday, their 5th in 6 games. This time a 92-73 drubbing at the hands of the Tassie JackJumpers. The 73 points is Melbourne’s lowest total this season and loss has put them down in 3rd spot on the ladder with a 14-7 record.
No single player from either team stood out and as was expected the game was very slow paced, Melbourne shot just 66 field goal attempts compared to their season average 74.2, add to that a 36.4% FG% and things were never going to finish positive for United.
A troubling trend is emerging for Melbourne who have long been the defensive benchmark of the league. Since the start of round 11 they are the worst scoring defence in the league, allowing 96.7 pts per game to their opponents.
