South East Melbourne Phoenix Form


The Phoenix missed an opportunity to leap over the Wildcats and into fourth in the standings, going down on the road to the Wildcats 100-99 on Friday night, after blowing a 12-point third quarter lead. 

It was a good performance by the Phoenix who had 7 players score in double-digits in the match with Matt Hurt once again pushing his MVP credentials with 19 points and 7 rebounds. 

However, their depth couldn’t take them past Perth who shot at 53.6% in the match and found themselves at the free-throw line 11 more times than S.E.M did. 

Despite a couple of recent losses, the Phoenix are building strong towards the play-in, ranked third in scoring with an average of 95.9 points per game while also ranking third with 90.9 opposition points per game. 

With Sydney and Perth going head-to-head in the other match on Sunday it will be important for South East Melbourne to get the win on Sunday to give them a chance at locking some home court advantage in the first stage of the postseason.

Adelaide 36ers Form & Team News


Adelaide slipped up in a big way and have put their play-in spot in jeopardy after going down to Brisbane 92-89 in the only match that was expected to be an “easy” win in their run home. 

Adelaide are one of the most efficient shooting teams in the NBL ranked second with a 47.3 FG% and third with a 36.6 3P% this season, however, their stars had a stinker against Brisbane. 

Kendrick Davis shot at 31.8% from the field and dropped just 1 of 8 three point attempts. To make it worse Dejan Vasiljevic was also off, with 40.0 FG% and 30.7 3P%. 

Adelaide’s usually accurate shooting is counteracted by their own poor defensive prowess, especially from the perimeter where they rank 10th in the NBL with a 37.4 opposition three point percentage and also poor rebounding where they rank 10th with a 24.1 offensive rebound percentage.

Verdict

South East Melbourne can stay in the hunt for a top four finish when they get the better of the Adelaide 36ers at home at John Cain Arena in what has the potential to be a 200+ point match.
