Preview:
There’s no two ways about it – Sydney were flat out embarrassed on Monday night in Melbourne losing 125-80 in their biggest loss of the season, but that hasn’t stopped the bookies from favouring the Kings by -2.5 ahead of the decider.
Melbourne’s performance in Game 2 was nothing short of exceptional as they continually drained long-range three’s and controlled the boards. Unfortunately, though, I’m having a tough time backing United to keep up the good work.
The Kings have been outstanding on the back of a loss all year going 6-3 straight up. Sydney has lost only twice at home all year, while they’ve also won two of their last three home games against Melbourne by double digits.
If you throw in Sydney’s 12-2 record at home and their 10-5 record as the line favourite, it becomes almost impossible to see this game going any other way. The Kings made history by becoming the only team to lead the ladder at the end of all 20 rounds, and I don’t expect them to throw all that hard work away in this winner takes all.
