United were on a 4 game skid before setting the blowtorch to last years Champions on Sunday afternoon. Everything looked like the Melbourne team we have come to know over the past few seasons. Consistent scoring, perfect from the stripe, low turnover to assist ratio and a bunch of threes.
Tassie dropped their most recent game but they have been poor at home this season, taking just 2 wins from 9 attempts. On the road they are a different beast and have taken 2 of the last 4 against United in Melbourne.
The problem is, they play slow. Getting into a grind with Melbourne United isn’t something that often works out well for teams. Last time these two clubs faced eachother Melbourne won 88-84 and Tassie had just 73 field goal attempts, fewer than their season average of 76.5.
Add to that, Melbourne have the best performing bench unit since the international break while Tassie’s 2nd unit are down in 6th. This game will be close, but United should control the tempo and the scoring, staying enough in front to close out late.
Take Melbourne to win and cover the line with the Game Total going Under. Back Milton Doyle to have another big one against his old club with 20+ pts and Bryce Hamilton to lead the way for the Jumpers eclipsing 30.5 pts, ast and reb.
- United are 8-2 at home this season while the JackJumpers are 9-10 ATS on the year.
- 4 of the last 6 games between these teams have gone Under the Game Total. Tasmania play at the slowest pace in the league.
- Milton Doyle scored 20+ in the first matchup against Tasmania and has scored 20+ in every other game over this last 8 appearances, he scored 9 against Illawarra.
- Bryce Hamilton is averaging 19.8 pts, 7 rebounds and 5 assists over his last 5 games.
