Sydney Kings Form


The Kings led from start to finish in their 103-92 victory over the South East Melbourne Phoenix on Wednesday. 

Once again it was Kouat Noi off the bench with 24 points that was the difference for the Kings with four other players scoring in double digits in support. 

Jaylen Adams was noticeably stiff towards the end of the game with his back still giving him trouble but he played out the encounter with 20 points on 50% shooting as well as nine assists, four rebounds and four steals. 

The win put the Kings into 2nd spot on the ladder, ahead of Melbourne United on Point Percentage and ahead of the Perth Wildcats by one win. They are still one win and one loss behind the top placed Illawarra Hawks after their loss to Cairns on Thursday.

Sydney have climbed to the 2nd best defensive ranking in the NBL with an average of 86.7 pts per game allowed to opponents this season. They also hold their opponents to the lowest FG% of anyone at just 42% while forcing 13.2 turnovers per match, the most of any team in the NBL.

Adelaide 36ers Form


The Adelaide 36ers have won four of their last six games and are knocking on the door of the top six. Most recently it was a 99-75 victory on the road in Cairns taking their season record to 11-13 just one win behind Tasmania in 6th with a game in hand.

Dejan Vasiljevic was the star of the show scoring 32 points including 10 from 21 from distance in the win. Kendric Davis had 27 points and eight assists while the beast Montrezl Harrell added 17 pts and 15 boards. 

Jarell Martin had eight points off the bench after having been an influential scorer in the past few games. Jason Cadee was the only other bench scorer with two pts in 18:21 minutes. 

Defensive guard Sunday Dech, coming off a stellar performance against Bryce Cotton a game earlier did well to hold the Taipans guards to just 11 points a piece with the 75 points scoreline the 2nd lowest opposition total of the season for Adelaide who now rank 9th in defence in the league.

Over their past six games the 36ers are averaging 101.1 points offensively, 4th most in the NBL, while keeping opponents to an average of 92.3 pts per game - the second best number across the league.

Verdict

Take Sydney to cover the line at home while keeping the 36ers Under their team total. Kouat Noi will be critical off the bench and he is trending in scoring right now.
