Melbourne v Adelaide Dec 7
Just like a hair drier in a bathtub, United had a shocking round last weekend. 0-2 on the road was not a good return. After a week of organic soy lattes, the boys (sorry I assumed your gender) are ready to take on Joey Wright and the Sixers.
There's plenty at stake today. An Adelaide win sees them swap positions with Melbourne and ease into the top 4.
Melbourne have won their last 5 games at home and score an average of 102 at home. It's their safe space and last time Adelaide played there they were slayed by 19 points. Adelaide on the road though started out awkwardly, but have averaged 102 on the road in their last 3 games.
This will be a high scoring game with both teams likely to lift the bat in the fourth quarter.
You all know I can't tip against the Sixers. This is Melbourne's game to lose.
