Well, it’s only taken until Round 2 of the NBL season to be completely rocked with controversy. 36ers draw card Montrezl Harrell has parted ways with the club after a controversial doping scandal. Before we get to see the 36ers it will be the Melbourne Throwdown tonight.

South East Phoenix vs Melbourne United (Thurs 7:30pm)
Best Bet
It’s still early days, so hard to gauge the Phoenix, especially after they blew out the Taipans in their first game of the season.
The playing minutes were evenly spread and nobody played more than 25 minutes. The game was all but over by half time after South East piled on 36 points in the second quarter alone.
Hunter will have his hands full against Melbourne centre Jesse Edwards. If the Phoenix want to stay competitive in this one, they are going to have to crash the glass. Hunter managed 8 rebounds in just 19 minutes against Cairns and should be able to repeat that performance in extended game time.
South East Phoenix vs Melbourne United (Thurs 7:30pm)
Next Best
It doesn’t matter who is wearing the uniform for these two teams, when they play in a Melbourne Throwdown they genuinely don’t like each other. This is Throwdown 29 and although United boast a massive winning record in these games, anything can happen.
I think Melbourne looked more polished in week 1 and the Phoenix had a bit of a non-affair against the Taipans. Melbourne will still be without Goulding but I thought Jesse Edwards looks to be a problem and it has only taken two games before Dash Daniels has my attention.
Cairns Taipans vs Brisbane Bullets (Fri 7:30pm)
Value Bet
Cairns did not start the season at all how they would have liked and compounding injuries is leaving them shorthanded.
Stattmann managed 5 rebounds in game 1 against the Phoenix, but his minutes were below where I expect them to be, due to the blow out.
The Cairns local started and made some impact, with all responsibility appearing to be on McVeigh and Schofield they need Stattmann to come to the party in this game.
