South East Melbourne Phoenix Form
South East Melbourne have opened the season with two wins and three losses, producing some wildly contrasting performances. They've scored 100 or more points twice but have also been held to 61 and 88.
Their latest outing was easily their most encouraging offensive performance, beating Illawarra 113–96. Phoenix shot 16-from-41 from three and recorded 23 assists, showing what their offence can produce when the ball is moving and the outside shots are dropping.
Consistency remains the challenge. Phoenix are averaging 90.6 points per game while conceding 89.8, and their 28.1% three-point shooting is the lowest in the competition. Sobey's improved shooting against Illawarra is a welcome sign, but one hot night doesn't erase the slow start.
Melbourne United Form
Melbourne United have won three of their opening five games, most recently holding off Adelaide 96–91 on the road. It was an important result after losses to Tasmania and Cairns had interrupted their early momentum.
United are averaging 90.8 points per game and conceding 88.0. They've been competitive in most outings, although their outside shooting has been inconsistent, particularly in the defeats to Tasmania and Cairns.
Cole Anthony remains a major scoring threat, while Travers and Josh Oduro provide valuable contributions around the basket. Travers has been particularly reliable on the glass recently, collecting eight and seven rebounds in his last two appearances.
