The former NBA player has been a dominant force for the Kings this season, averaging 18.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. He has a versatile skill set that allows him to score inside and outside, as well as defend multiple positions. He was instrumental in the Kings’ win over the Bullets in their last meeting, scoring 25 points and grabbing 10 boards. Expect him to continue his impressive form and lead the Kings to another victory on Sunday.

Why I think the Bullets could also get up

The Bullets have shown considerable form this NBL24 season so far. They could get up, but it might be a longshot.

The Bullets have a balanced roster with players who can score, rebound, and defend. They have the likes of Nathan Sobey, Lamar Patterson, and Robert Franks who can create their own shots and make plays for others.
The Bullets have been playing with more intensity and cohesion lately, winning four of their last five games. They have shown that they can compete with the top teams in the league, such as Melbourne United and Perth Wildcats.
The Bullets have a psychological edge over the Kings, having beaten them twice already this season. They know how to exploit the Kings’ weaknesses and limit their strengths. They also have the home court advantage, which could make a difference in a close game.

The Bullets have a good chance to win this game and upset the bookies. They have the talent, the momentum, and the confidence to do so. The Kings are not invincible and they will face a tough challenge from the Bullets. It will be an exciting game to watch and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds.

Who to watch: Nathan Sobey

Position: Guard

The Australian star is the captain and leader of the Bullets, and he has been in sensational form this season. He averages 22.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, and he can score from anywhere on the court. He is also a fierce competitor and a clutch performer, as he showed in the thrilling win over Perth Wildcats last week. Watch out for his explosive drives, sharp shooting and relentless hustle on both ends of the floor.

What do the bookies say?

I’m super keen for this match-up. Both teams have been `playing well this season. with the Kings sitting in 2nd on the ladder with a 3-1 record and the Bullets close behind with a 2-1 record in 5th. The last time they met, on October 13, 2023, the Kings won by a comfortable margin of 113-102.

The bookies are favouring the Kings to win again. They’ve been way more consistent and dominant in their games. The bookies are agreeing with me on this.

Bullets	2.40	2.35	2.45	2.38

Looking closely at these odds, the Kings are expected to win by about 6.5 points, which is slightly lower than their previous margin of victory over the Bullets. However, the Bullets should not be underestimated. With the links of talented players like Nathan Sobey and Christ Smith, they can score big and keep the game close.

I’m going to have a bet on the Kings to win with Ladbrokes and their higher odds. The Kings shown way more stability and confidence in their play this year. They’ve also got the home court advantage at Qudos Bank Arena, where they have a large and loyal fan base. The Kings are a sure bet to continue their winning streak and maintain their top spot on the ladder.

The Sydney Kings and the Brisbane Bullets are both in good form and have a chance to win.. The bookies are favouring the Kings slightly, but the Bullets have some advantages in their roster and their home court.
