Hawks vs 36ers, NBL Tips Jan 24th
NBL22 Action on a Monday Night and we have the Illawarra Hawks hosting the Adelaide 36ers at the WIN Entertainment Centre.
The Hawks have been a bit out of sorts recently, but have a very talented side that is usually pretty reliable on the defensive end. They will be looking to bounce back at home.
The 36ers failed to back up their win against the Perth Wildcats and were well beaten by Melbourne United at home on Saturday. They don’t have an excellent record against the Hawks, but will still fancy themselves as the Hawks have been below par over the last couple of weeks.
Here are some NBL Tips and NBL Predictions for the Hawks vs 36ers on January 24 2022.

Prediction
The Illawarra Hawks are a talented side and will fancy themselves to get back on the winners table.
They only shot the ball at 19% from the three-point line against the Wildcats, but did protect the ball well with just the four turnovers.
The 36ers have struggled against the Hawks in recent times and get them when they need the win, and the defensive intensity will more than likely increase.
It is hard to see the Hawks losing this one, and they should get it done at home.
