Taranaki Airs Team News
Last Sunday the Taranaki Airs were facing a 7-point deficit with only 62 seconds remaining against the Southland Sharks and needed a miracle to win and stay alive in the hunt for the playoffs.
Miracle is exactly what happened as the Airs rallied back in the final minute to eventually grab a 94:90 win in overtime, not allowing their playoff hopes to be extinguished. With a full lineup led by three imports finally at their disposal, the Airs flexed their muscle and showed how dangerous they can be when they have a full squadron.
The battle for Final 6 spots is INTENSE š³

Auckland Tuatara Team News
Reinforced by their newest signings Kruz Perrott-Hunt and import Joe Lawson, the Auckland Tuatara have won eight straight games and deservedly hold the top of the table. Led by one of the MVP candidates Rob Loe and a strong contingent of domestic players they currently look very menacing, especially with the depth they possess, but Taranaki are not a pushover team and should give them a proper fight in todayĀ“s game.
In the last round against the Nelson Giants, Auckland showed all of their might by absolutely thrashing a very solid Giants side by 34 points. The game was basically over before it even started as the TuataraĀ“s defense held Nelson to a measly seven points in the opening frame, which Auckland won 27-7 to set the tone for the rest of the game.
Overall, if there is a team to be afraid of in the NZ NBL at the moment, then itĀ“s definitely the Auckland Tuatara.
What a performance. We improve to 11-3 and stay top of the table.#TuataraBasketball #TuataraNation @nznbl @skysportnz pic.twitter.com/W6006eDs6C

Taranaki Airs vs Auckland Tuatara Prediction
The Taranaki Airs have their backs against the wall and need to win all of their remaining games to make the playoffs. The current league leaders from Auckland present a very tough and demanding task, but with a complete lineup the Airs should have enough talent and size to make the game competitive and cover the spread.
