Melbourne United host Brisbane Bullets on 7 November 2026 in the NBL, and the Pythia model names United as the clear favourite, giving them an 87% chance of victory largely because of their 6-5 record, 96.5 points per game and 90.8 allowed per game, placing them third in the league, while Bullets also sit 6-5 but average 95.2 points and allow 97.4, a fourth-place position. United have gone 2-3 at home, scoring 95.6 and conceding 92.8, yet their last five games include wins over the Breakers, Taipans and Sydney, with a 94-74, 113-97 and 105-95 scoreline respectively, showing a recent upward trend; Bullets are 2-3 on the road, 89.6 points and 93.2 allowed, and their recent five include a 109-104 win over Perth, a 96-89 win away at Adelaide and a 85-107 loss to the Taipans. Historically United have dominated the rivalry, winning nine of ten meetings and most recently defeating Bullets 98-66 on 21 January 2026. Pythia projects a 100-87 score, 187.7 total points, with a 55% chance of United covering the -11.5 line and a 36% chance of the over on the 193.5 total, while the game carries a 3% overtime probability. The Bullets' last home win over Perth on 4 November 2026 suggests they will fight hard, but United's recent form and head-to-head advantage keep the contest firmly in their favour.
