Re: NBL Basketball GRAND FINAL - (Best of 5) Both teams should bring the intensity on D in tonight's opener and it should be slow going scoring wise in the first quarter as the players get the butterflies out of their system. This game may be quite ugly with a lot of missed shots and turnovers under pressure. I expect Melbourne to get on top early on and hold a small lead going into the halftime break on the back of strong offensive rebounding efforts. Brisbane's relentless full court pressure D should take it's toll though and on their home floor they are a good chance of coming home strong and pulling out a hard fought win. My Picks: Brisbane 1-10 @ $2.60 Total Points UNDER 203.5 @ $1.90 Melb / Bris - Halftime/Fulltime score @ $5.75
