SE Melbourne Phoenix Form
South East Melbourne have been one of the NBL's more entertaining offensive teams this season, averaging 96.5 points per game despite an inconsistent 4-4 start.
The Phoenix have scored 113, 99, 105 and 115 points in four of their last five games, with their latest performance a convincing 115-83 victory over Cairns.
Their rebounding has been particularly impressive, averaging 44.6 boards per game to rank third in the competition. However, their shooting percentages remain among the league's lowest, making their recent offensive improvement particularly encouraging.
Nathan Sobey remains an important scoring option for the Phoenix, and his history against Adelaide makes his 20+ points market worth backing.
Adelaide 36ers Form
Adelaide have also opened the season with a 4-4 record, although their scoring has been considerably less consistent than South East Melbourne's.
The 36ers average 88.8 points per game, ranking 10th in the competition, and have failed to reach 94 points in five of their eight outings.
Their latest result was a 94-88 victory over Tasmania, following an impressive 84-78 win against Sydney.
Defensively, Adelaide have been reasonably solid, conceding 90.8 points per game, while their 45.4% field-goal shooting ranks ninth in the NBL.
Bryce Cotton remains the driving force behind the 36ers' offence, averaging a league-leading 26.3 points per game. His perimeter shooting will be particularly important if Adelaide are to match the Phoenix's recent scoring output.
Verdict
South East Melbourne's recent scoring form and excellent head-to-head numbers make Phoenix over 94.5 team points our best bet. We're also backing Nathan Sobey 20+ points and Bryce Cotton 4+ three-pointers.
