Preview:
These two sides have met three times already this year with the Kings holding a 2-1 series advantage. Sydney got the upper hand with a blowout 104-81 victory in Melbourne last month, leaving the Kings as firm favourites this time around.
Andrew Gaze’s side will be hoping to improve on their 10-2 mark at home whilst also keeping a buffer between themselves and the second-place Wildcats. United hasn’t won in Sydney since March last year, while a pair of back-to-back losses last week leaves Melbourne in danger of dropping out of the top four.
It’s difficult to trust Melbourne on the heels of two blowout losses to the 36ers and Breakers, but it’s also hard to back the Kings at their current price.
Fortunately, there is one trend worth paying attention to. The Total has gone Over in 11 of Melbourne’s last 15 games following a previous loss, so it’s worth pairing a high-scoring game with a Kings win.
Tip: Sydney Kings at $1.45
