The Kings have been on the road more than any team in the NBL, but will enjoy spending 7 of their next 9 matches at Qudos Arena. The motivation will be to find some more consistency on offence, which is often done on your home court.
What has gone right for Sydney is that their wayward defence from NBL24 has diminished, but it will be tested against the league’s hottest offence right now led by the imports of the Bullets.
Brisbane offence has been heating up, however it is hard to see that they will be able to maintain the high percentage of shooting that they have done in their past 3 victories.
Expect Sydney to get the win against the Bullets and hold them under their team total.
- Sydney have won 8 of their past 9 games against Brisbane.

To magnify things a little closer, it is Sydney's offence that has seen more ups and downs than the Thunderbolt at Dreamworld. There is not a player in their lineup that is scoring regularly game in and game out. This can be due to the rotations and players being hot and cold, but the warm tap needs to be held on, instead of playing silly buggers in the bath.
On the defensive side of the ball are up there as the best in the business, allowing just 83.3 points per game which is second in the NBL. The Kings are the hardest team to shoot against with a 40.7 opposition field goal percentage and are ranked second win opposition 3-point percentage at 31.3%
