Brisbane Bullets vs The Hawks Preview

After plenty of uncertainty, the Bullets will host the new-look Hawks on Saturday night in front of a half-full Nissan Arena up in Brisbane.

The Bullets were unlucky not to finish top four before last season was canceled, while the Hawks were handed the wooden spoon after winning just five of their 28 games played.

As the market suggests, this is probably one of the toughest games to pick this weekend with so much uncertainty surrounding both teams.

New Bullets forward Vic Law should be fun to watch after spending time with the Orlando Magic last year, but outside of him and Anthony Drmic, it’s hard to see the Bullets competing without much depth.

The Hawks fall into the same boat with Deng Adel and Cameron Bairstow headlining the top line of talent. They’ve got enough pieces to win more than five games, but plenty is riding on the performance of the bench.

As far as this game goes, the Hawks do look a good bet, though.

They’ve played more preseason games than any other team in the NBL this year, while new head coach Brian Goorjian should have this team playing a much different brand of basketball to the one we’ve become accustom to from the Hawks in recent years.
