United took an 11-point victory against the Wildcats before the week off in the NBL, however, the match was a lot closer than the result appeared. That being said United once again proved why they are the best team in the competition and kicked away in the clutch moments of the fourth quarter. 

The Melbourne import signings in NBL26 have made the difference with Milton Doyle, Tyson Walker and Jesse Edwards arguably the best three overseas signings this season (besides JaVale McGee). The trio have led a new-look United team and Dean Vickerman has all three firing. 

United are the best scoring team in the competition and they will come out after the rest just as slick as they looked before the break. Expect Doyle to have another 15+ point match with Walker being the source of deliverance. 

  • Melbourne have won 7 of their last 8 games against Perth.
  • Melbourne have scored an average of 98.5 points in their last 4 matches.
  • Tyson Walker has 5+ assists in 4 of his last 6 matches.
  • Milton Doyle has 15+ points in 5 of his last 6 matches.

Perth Wildcats Form & Team News


Perth’s three-game winning streak was broken by Melbourne United before the FIBA break, going down to the league leaders 98-87. In what was a a match of momentum swings, with the Wildcats in it until the end, but were simply unable to come up big in the dying stages of the match.

Kristian Doolittle had his fourth double-double of the season with a team high 20 points and 11 rebounds but it simply wasn’t enough. Dylan Windler also had one of his better performances of the season shooting at 63.6 FG%, while Jo Lual-Acuil also had 19 points. 

It is obvious this season that the Wildcats can mix it with the best, however this was another moment where they needed a clutch performance down the stretch that didnt come. 

Melbourne United Form & Team News


Melbourne are rolling again and are on another 4-match win streak after getting a tough victory against Perth at home before the FIBA Break. Despite the score blowing out to 98-87, the match was in the balance very late and United were calm and collected, as they have been in these situations all season, coming up big when the pressure is on. 

Tyson Walker is looking like one of the buys of the season and has fitted into the Melbourne system seamlessly, along with former JackJumper Milton Doyle with the import pair accounting for 47 points against the Wildcats, while third import Jesse Edwards had his NBL-best 16 rebounds. 

United’s league-best scoring of 97.3 points is hard for any opposition to keep pace with Melbourne also topping the charts in both offensive rating 120.5 and defensive rating of 106.3.
