The Bullets surprised everyone last weekend by keeping in touch with Melbourne United, going down by just 6 points 98-93. But that level of play without genuine star talent will be hard to keep delivering week in, week out, especially against the scoring power of the South East Melbourne Phoenix.
SE Melbourne are the best scoring team in the league, averaging 97.4 pts per game despite having the 2nd worst FG%. It is their accuracy from distance, 37.7% which is keeping the scoring ticking over with teams unable to defend the spacing.
Brisbane will need to rely on some old legs to carry their attack and defence. Mitch Norton at 32 years old is a capable scorer and Javon Freeman-Liberty has been re-signed after leaving early in the season. But the hole Casey Prather leaves is immeasurable.
South East Melbourne have weapons all over the court and the recency bias of Brisbane being ok without Prather is our friend. Brisbane are just 1-5 at home this season while SEM are 8-0 as the favourite.
Take the Phoenix -6.5 but the Game Total to go Under due to Brisbane’s lack of scoring power. Nathan Sobey has been a menace against his old team scoring 25+ in 3 straight head to heads. Take him over his total.
- Brisbane are 5th in scoring and their top scorer Casey Prather will now miss the rest of the season due to injury.
- South East Melbourne are the number 1 ranked scoring team in the NBL with the number 1 ranked 3pt percentage.
- Nathan Sobey is averaging 21.3 pts per game this season, the most of his career.
- Sobey has scored 25+ pts in 3 straight games against Brisbane.
