Singapore Slingers Team News

With the backing of the home fans and the return of Larry Liew, the Singapore Slingers were heavy favourites against the Hong Kong-based Eastern yesterday. With Eastern surprisingly playing without one of their key starters, world import player Chris McLaughlin, the hosts were supposed to take over the game instantly but the opposite happened.

Eastern weathered the storm with suffocating defense and a halfcourt system that completely crippled the Slingers and their leader Xavier Alexander.  As the game was progressing, Singapore were becoming aware there was no coming back from a 15-point deficit. They failed to convert their offensive rebounds, while also displaying complete lack of fundamentals when the loss became imminent.

Zamboanga Valientes Team News

The Zamboanga Valientes will be anything but an easy opponent for the home team today. So far the Filipino side has proven to be the main dark horse of the competition and the most unpredictable team with major performance swings.

The presence of a PBA import Antonio Hester along with big man Ryan Smith has given the Valientes the size and skill to compete with the heavyweights, but they still lack the quality to be considered title contenders.

After they were in full control and up by as much as 15 points in yesterday´s game, the Malaysian NS Matrix managed to pull off a comeback and hand them a gut-wrenching loss. It will certainly affect their morale, which will be their main problem today along with fatigue and their third game in just as many days.

Injuries and suspensions

None.

Singapore Slingers vs Zamboanga Valientes Prediction

Zamboanga are facing an ungrateful task of playing their third game in just 72 hours. With a veteran-led squad fatigue is expected against the much taller Slingers who should be able to make up for a miserable display yesterday.
