Wellington Saints Team News
For this entire season the star-studded team of the Wellington Saints has been struggling to find consistency, but they still control their own destiny since two more wins would guarantee them a postseason appearance.
Currently on a three-game skid, the Saints will look to take advantage of their home court and a sold out crowd for their final home game of the season to avenge the loss they suffered against the Jets two weeks ago. They definitely have all the tools required to do that, even with their sixth man Taane Samuel questionable, but the spread for this game is simply too high.
We have a small number of tickets available for tomorrow's SOLD OUT final home game.

Manawatu Jets Team News
After pulling off a massive home win against the Saints, the Manawatu Jets continued with their up and down form in the last round when they went down to the Nelson Giants away from home in a very tight affair(92:87).
That loss put their playoff hopes in huge jeopardy as now the Jets need to win all of their remaining three games and hope that other results go their way if they want to secure a postseason berth.
You can already pencil in Manawatu´s high-flying import trio of Blake, Pippen and Heron to combine for at least 70 points, but who will step up from the the rest of the roster to give the Jets a chance of winning today´s game? Midseason reinforcement Marcel Jones has proven he can get the job done along with Liam Judd, so if the Jets can repeat their peformance from two weeks ago, they will be a very tough nut to crack for the hosts.
The @GiantsNZNBL pick up a crucial home win over the @manawatujets 💪
