Auckland Tuatara Team News
Three days ago the top-placed Auckland Tutara kept on cruising with their ninth straight win in New Plymouth by taking down the Taranaki Airs in convincing fashion 108:94. It was a combined team effort as the current MVP leader Rob Loe chalked up another double-double(23pts, 10 rebounds), the silent assassin Reuben Te Rangi added 30 points of his own, but also worth mentioning were the contributions of Cam Gliddon with 20 points and the American import Joe Lawson with 15 points.
The Auckland Tutara currently look unbeatable and very formidable with the late additions of the import Joe Lawson and young Kiwi talent Kruz Perrott-Hunt, who added even more firepower to their already star-studded lineup. However, if there is a team which can cause them problems and give them a run for their money at the moment, then it´s definitely the Canterbury Rams.
We get the job done in New Plymouth and pick up our ninth straight win. See you at Eventfinda Stadium on Sunday when we take on the Rams.#TuataraBasketball #TuataraNation @nznbl @skysportnz pic.twitter.com/5L35hGUKYn

Canterbury Rams Team News
After the arrival and the debut of one of the finest basketball players New Zealand has to offer, Corey Webster, the Canterbury Rams haven´t been as stable and prolific as everyone thought they would be.
The midseason loss of crucial center Tai Wynyard was patched up with signings of Galin Smith and Corey Webster, but the current form of the Rams is hot and cold as last week they suffered an unexpected 107:94 home loss to the Otago Nuggets after beating the same team away from home just a week before 82:75.
Even though the Canterbury Rams haven´t been able to establish any kind of consistency, with Corey Webster leading the charge they can´t be underestimated in this derby of the round and we expect them to give some headaches to the high-flying Tuatara.
The @otagonuggetsnbl pick up a huge road win over the @CanterburyRams 107-94! 😤

Auckland Tuatara vs Canterbury Rams Prediction
While the Auckland Tuatara are trying to secure the top spot, the Canterbury Rams are trying to break into the top 2 to have a more favourable situation in the playoffs. The Tuatara enter the game with 5.5-point advantage which is a fair spread, so we opted for the Total Over in a duel of two very dynamic and high-octane offenses.
