The Hawks vs South East Melbourne Phoenix Preview
With both teams currently in playoff contention, Thursday nights clash between the 3rd placed Illawarra Hawks and the 4th placed South East Melbourne Phoenix looms as a potential finals preview.
After spending much time on the road this season, Brian Goorjian’s Hawks are back home and managed to easily take care of the Brisbane Bullets on Monday night with a convincing 96-72 win.
South East Melbourne Phoenix was thrashed by Melbourne United in the Throwdown 60-80 on Saturday night, however, their star player Mitch Creek (somewhat controversial ) will return to the side for the match and will want to attain themselves from their humiliating defeat. It would be the first loss for the Phoenix after a five-game winning streak.
The prospect of being booted out of the top 4 playoff contention looms for both sides, so we should be in for a terrific contest.
However, with the Hawks back home, you simply can’t go past them in this one. They open the betting as narrow favourites ($1.80) with the Phoenix the $2 underdog.
I’ll take the home team at the line.
