Thursday December 31, 4.30 PM , Townsville Entertainment Complex

Double header of NBL Action live from FNQ

Game rating – Townsville Crocs 82 vs Illawarra Hawks 91

Illawarra travel to Townsville as the hottest team in the NBL, following their recent run of 6-1 including their latest win in New Zealand over the Breakers (83-107).  They currently average 93 points per game but are still a team that leaks points defensively.  The Crocs have been improved of late, going 3-2 and continued their ascendency over the Wildcats with a (75-58) home court mauling of the league’s top side two weeks ago.

Prediction

These two teams have met twice this year with the Hawks winning both encounters (88-96) away and (100-70) at home.  Both sides are fresh from the bye so expect to see some fireworks early in the match.  Again we are looking at both teams playing positive to their projected game rating so the Game Total OVER is the selection.
