Flow FM's basketball expert Dan Crouch offered an early prediction ahead of the looming NBL Grand Final 'best of three' contest, to be fought out between the Sydney Kings and the New Zealand Breakers during his basketball segment on the Sports Hour this week.

Crouch also reviewed the uninspiring NBA All-Star game between Lebron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo's chosen teams, stating that the affair was bland despite the usual media hype the event is given every year.

Crouch also previewed the cluster of NBA matches scheduled for this weekend as the business end of the season continues to thrill fans across both conferences.

Crouch floated that the encounter between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Denver Nuggets would be this week’s game of the round.
