This week, all eyes are on South East Melbourne and Melbourne as they square off on Thursday night. After an underwhelming Round 1 performance, the Phoenix are eager to bounce back, but they’ll face a tough challenge against United, who will be looking to grind it out in a classic cross-town showdown. The pace of play will be a key focus, with Phoenix pushing the tempo and United likely to slow things down. Nathan Sobey, coming off a rough debut for his new team, will be determined to make a bigger impact this time around, while Chris Goulding’s return from illness adds another layer of intrigue.
Friday night sees Illawarra Hawks hosting the Brisbane Bullets, a team that underwhelmed in Round 1, prompting harsh words from coach Justin Schueller.

Key players like Darius Days, who had a standout debut, will be looking to continue their strong form, while Brisbane’s James Batemon must step up after a quiet start to his NBL career.
