Coast gets NBL game

GOLD coast will again host an NBL fixture next season, with the Bullets to line up against Melbourne on January 6.

As the region strives to get itself back into the national basketball picture, the Coast has been boosted by Brisbane opting to take a home game to Carrara Stadium.

The Bullets have been handed a brutal start to their 2018-19 NBL campaign, with 12 of their first 15 games coming against last season’s top-four playoff teams.
