Taranaki Airs Team News
The Taranaki Airs come into this game following two straight losses to the Auckland Tuatara and the Franklin Bulls, but they are still alive in the playoff battle. It will take a mammoth effort by the Airs to finish inside the top 6, as they have to win both of their remaining games and also hope other results go their way.
Not only that, but they will also have to beat the Nelson Giants this Thursday with a massive margin of at least 42 points. It will hardly happen, but with almost a full lineup except for Tobias Cameron who will most probably be out with an injury, they should be able to win today´s contest against the heavily shorthanded Giants.
Just one round left in the regular season! 🤩

Nelson Giants Team News
The Nelson Giants are well and truly alive in the playoff battle for the top 6, but they have been hit by the injury bug at the worst possible time of the season. Ahead of their last crucial fixture against the Otago Nuggets at home, two of their best players Matur Maker and Avery Woodson were ruled out of action, and the heavily undermanned Giants didnt stand a chance against the Nuggets, who came away with a routine 86:75 victory.
To make matters even worse for the Giants and give more headaches to their head coach Mike Fitchett, two of their crucial pieces will still remain out for today´s game which will make competing with the Taranaki Airs extremely demanding and making it almost impossible to win this crucial game.

Taranaki Airs vs Nelson Giants Prediction
The Nelson Giants haven´t had any luck in the finale of the regular season as they enter the most pivotal game of their season without their two best roster pieces. We believe that the Taranaki Airs will know how to take advantage of this situation and opted for the home team to win and to cover the spread at home.
