Sydney have made a flying start to the NBL season, winning their opening three games and scoring 111, 121 and 93 points. All three victories have come at home, where the Kings are averaging a league-high 108.3 points per game.

And Adelaide haven't enjoyed visiting Sydney lately. The Kings have scored 113, 106, 112 and 106 points in their last four home meetings with the 36ers, clearing Sunday's 99.5 team total on every occasion. That's a convincing trend, particularly with Sydney shooting a league-best 51.8% from the field this season.

Adelaide's form offers little reassurance. The 36ers have lost four of their opening six games, including a 96–91 home defeat to Melbourne United on Wednesday. They've conceded 95, 98, 69, 114, 88 and 96 points, and now face the NBL's most efficient offence on its home court.

Kendric Davis has been central to Sydney's attacking success, scoring 26, 31 and 24 points across his three appearances. We're backing him for 26+ points again, while Adelaide's Nick Rakocevic offers a higher-risk, higher-return option after collecting 12 or more rebounds in three of his six games.

Sydney Kings Form

Sydney have opened the 2026–27 season with three straight wins, beating Cairns 111–90, Illawarra 121–100 and Brisbane 93–78. Their average winning margin is 19 points, and they've covered the handicap in all three matches.

The Kings have been particularly impressive offensively, leading the competition with 108.3 points per game, 51.8% field-goal shooting and 35.9% three-point shooting. They've scored at least 111 points twice and are proving difficult to contain when their offence gets rolling.

Kendric Davis has made an immediate impact, averaging 27 points through his first three games. His scoring has been consistent, with returns of 26, 31 and 24, while Sydney's supporting cast has helped turn that individual production into comfortable victories.

Adelaide 36ers Form

Adelaide have endured a difficult start to the campaign, winning just two of their opening six matches. They've struggled to build momentum, and Wednesday's 96–91 defeat to Melbourne United was another frustrating result.

The 36ers are averaging 88.7 points per game, ranking ninth in the competition, while conceding 93.3. Their shooting hasn't helped, with Adelaide hitting just 45.7% from the field and 32.2% from three.

Bryce Cotton remains a major scoring threat, but Adelaide have also relied heavily on Nick Rakocevic's work around the basket. He's recorded 9, 8, 12, 11, 16 and 14 rebounds this season, with three games of 12+. His rebounding has been a bright spot in an otherwise inconsistent opening stretch.
