Sunday NBL Predictions, January 16th 2022
NBL Action is back on a Sunday, and we have a couple of games on Sunday, January 16th 2022.
It all starts in Illawarra, where the Illawarra Hawks will take on the in-form Melbourne United side.
We then head to Sydney, where the Sydney Kings will take on the New Zealand Breakers in Sydney.
Both Illawarra and Melbourne are coming off impressive wins, and this is shaping up as a decent contest. Chris Goulding is shooting the ball at an elite level at the moment and will provide headaches for the Hawks defence.
The Kings need the win, and the Breakers will be looking for just their second win of the season. Sydney will be tough at home and looked better against the Hawks with Jaylen Adams back in the team despite the loss.
Here are some Sunday NBL Predictions for Round 7 of NBL22.
