Prediction
The Adelaide 36ers have been a lot better at home this season, but their coach C.J. Bruton will not be attending this match.
The 36ers shot the ball well against the Kings and won the rebound count, but it still wasn’t enough to get the win.
The Phoenix are coming off a good performance against the Perth Wildcats and are currently second on the NBL Table.
A tough match to predict to kick things off for Round 14 as the 36ers are always a chance at home, but the Phoenix have the more talented side and will go into this match as the favourites.
