It’s only fitting that United’s finals chances might boil down to one last game against their inter-state rival. We take a look at Sunday’s (16/2/2020) NBL 2020 match which is between the South East Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne United. The Melbourne United head into the game as clear favourites.

Preview:
The Phoenix got the better of United winning by three-points in the season-opener, but since then have gone on to lose twice to Melbourne in both blowout (110-98, Round 5) and narrow (96-95, Round 7) fashion.
The bookies are well and truly siding with United laying them as -6.5 favourites. That line looks about right considering the Phoenix have won only two of their last five games at time of publish, but with both sides playing on short rest, this could go right down to the wire.
United has been a typically poor side in the second game of a doubleheader weekend winning only three of their eight games. Only two of those wins have come by 10-points or more, so take Melbourne to win – but only narrowly.
Tip: Melbourne United at $1.25
