The Brisbane Bullets face a massive challenge as they host the undefeated Melbourne United at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday in an NBL clash.
Melbourne United have set the pace this season with a perfect five out of five start. They are stacked with talent, including star guard Chris Goulding and the consistent big man Jesse Edwards. United's cohesive system and ability to close out games have made them a formidable opponent.
In stark contrast, the Bullets are struggling near the bottom of the table, facing immense pressure following a poor start. Rookie coach Stu Lash is dealing with injuries to key players like Sam McDaniel and Mitch Norton.
The spotlight will be on veteran Casey Prather to provide the much-needed scoring punch for a Brisbane side desperate for a statement win at home.
