The South East Melbourne Phoenix, despite a slow start to the season, have improved significantly. They've even surpassed Melbourne United to become the second-best team in the league. Their success stems from strong team cohesion, particularly with Sobey leading the charge, exhibiting potent scoring ability. Sobey's averaging 21.1 points per game this season, matching his career-high. The Tasmania JackJumpers are struggling at home but performing well on the road, maintaining a playoff spot. In their last home game, the JackJumpers narrowly lost 80-81 to the New Zealand Breakers, ending their winning streak. This season, both teams have won on each other's home court in their two previous encounters. In their first meeting, the Phoenix won a close game 103-102. The second match, on the 10th of this month, saw the Phoenix lose 81-89 to the JackJumpers. Despite the JackJumpers' previous offensive struggles, they have scored over 80 points in their last 11 games, showing improvement. With the Phoenix's strong offense and weaker defense, a high-scoring game is expected. Therefore, an offensive battle is anticipated, with the total score likely to exceed 176.5 points. Recommendation: Tasmania JackJumpers over 176.5
