Our NBL Round 3 tips have the Phoenix ending their week on a high, and that shouldn\u2019t be too difficult against the struggling Hawks.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re trying to make a case for the Hawks to play well, but after the first two weeks, we haven\u2019t seen anything from them to recommend backing them this week. Improvement is expected, but it shouldn\u2019t be enough to beat teams like the Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Look for Nathan Sobey to have a field day on offence, and he could end the game with 30+ points for the Phoenix.<\/p>\n
