Sydney Kings
The reigning champions of Australia have had a rather disappointing start to the new season. The team is in the playoff zone but has not displayed the same level of play that led to victory in the previous season. It can be noted that Sydney is currently going through a downturn in terms of results. In the current season, the team has won 11 matches and suffered 13 defeats. These results place the Kings in the playoff zone, holding the fifth position in the league standings.
Melbourne United
The team is having an excellent season and rightfully holds the top spot in the NBL standings. Melbourne United looks better than the rest and has comfortably positioned itself at the top of the championship. In 23 matches of the current season, the team celebrated 17 victories and aims for a direct entry into the playoff semifinals. It is worth noting that the top two teams at the end of the regular season will start the elimination games directly from the semifinal stage.
