San Miguel Beermen Team News
The San Miguel Beermen cruised to another double-digit victory over the Terrafirma Dyip on Friday to solidify themselves at the top of the table as one of the main early season title favourites. The Beer winning all of their three games convincingly by double-digits comes as no surprise, as their teams finds itself on a redemption tour after failing to reach championship form in the Commissioner´s Cup.
For the majority of the previous conference, San Miguel played with a handicapped team without two main stars. Even though they are still playing without Terrence Romeo, overall they are more healthy now and in a much better shape. Along with a stable import player, the presence of their main frontcourt pillar June Mar Fajardo has been enough to dominate, but as other top teams reach their peak, they will need a full roster to contend for the title.
Magnolia Hotshots Team News
After turning into one of the main Commissioner´s Cup forces, the Magnolia Hotshots are currently a solid mid-table side at best. Even though the Timplados dug themselves into a hole at the start, head coach Chito Victolero is still not panicking. However, two losses are definitely a sign for concern, especially the last defeat to TNT when Magnolia couldnt win even with a clear rebounding advantage.
When the Hotshots last played the Beermen, they faced a shorthanded opponent with a huge frontcourt hole. Three months after that game the situation is now completely different, with San Miguel entering the match at the top of their game.

San Miguel Beermen vs Magnolia Hotshots Prediction
According to the rumours, Terrence Romeo should be back at full fitness in around two weeks. He will be more than a welcome sight in San Miguel´s roster, because his teammates can´t win the grand prize without his contribution. Without his presence, they still have more than enough to subdue any team in the league during the regular season, but during the do-or-die moments they will need his help.
So far the Beermen have been one of the teams playing at the highest level, while the Hotshots have failed to make the transition from Nick Rakocevic. The Hotshots haven´t been the same team with a smaller import, so today we expect their woes to continue.
