Pay attention to: The Hawks are just a victory of history in history and the first time. They were probably the best team time and will be on the box seat to win everything as long as they take care of the business against the Breakers.

New Zealand has managed to achieve a big victory over Cairns and a positive memory of their fans to end the season, and now they have another chance to do that. What makes this game an interesting watch is that the HAWKs sometimes proved to be complacent compared to a lower opposition, which could be their return here.

Player to see: It was Matt Mooney Who really appeared in the absence of his Star Point Guard and did it in different ways. Regardless of whether he achieves or assisted the ball, Mooney was a dominant force in the back half of this season. The other bright light was the game of Mojave King Who has put together his best season in the past five years.

For the HAWKs you have weapons throughout your squad and will all call up to increase and try to send a message early. While Trey Kell III And Tyler Harvey Were the backcourt leader, it is their inner presence, which is led by Sam Froling That really gives the sound offensive.

The statistics: Illawarra is the first in the league for the rating (101.9 points per game).

Missing: Darius days Is out (knee tendon). Parker Jackson-Cartwright Is out (rib).

Pay attention to: While both teams miss the final, they still have the chance to end the season here on the right grade. Every opportunity you get to win your state rivals always makes your fans feel good, no matter how bad the season was overall.

It is also an opportunity for some of the young talents to get an additional chance and present their talents for the next season and beyond. Between both the Taipan and the balls, many positive signs that were spoiled due to injuries were distributed during a season.

Player to see: Casey Prather And Keandre Cook were the two bright lights of a bullet team that was difficult to have enough offensive talent to achieve good scores. After the team was decimated again by injuries, the balls went to Adelaide and fascinated the 36s at both ends at a few years.

With the announcement that Rob Edwards The last two games of the season have risen for another opportunity. Adam Forse is extended for some of the bankers for a few minutes. Find that Kyrin Galloway will be one that enjoys seeing more court time with the possibility.

The statistics: Brisbane is the best three pointing team (37.4).

Missing in action: Sam McDaniel is for the season (shoulder). James Batemon is for the season (thigh). Tyrell Harrison is questionable (concussion). Tyre Harrison Is out (concealing brain). Josh Bannon Is out (concealing brain). Rob Edwards is out.

Pay attention to: The last edition of the motorway series will be more of a chess game than a heated rivalry. Since the Hawks have probably locked the top position, there is a chance that Justin Tatum will not harm his star players. However, there is also a stronger chance that he does not want to put on shape and would love nothing more than sweep the kings in the season.

The kings, on the other hand, have to play everything in this game, as they want to avoid reaching fifth place and facing an excretion game. You have not managed to beat the Hawks all the season, but maybe a strong performance in this game is everything you need to roll into the final.

Player to see: If these two teams have come against the fight, everything is on the fight between Jaylen Adams And Wani Swaka-Lo-Buluk. The kings play their best basketball when Adams control the game from time to time and also play big games on the wayside. However, he has tried to make the Hawks defender better so far, hence the Hawks, who have won all three games.

Another important fight will be cam Oliver against Sam Froling, two of the best big men in competition. If you can get an advantage here, your team will get the best chance to win the game.

The statistics: Sydney is the best defensive team in the league (4.8 blocks per game, 7.5 steals per game).

Missing in action: Darius days Is out (knee tendon). Jaylin Galloway Is out (shoulder). Keli Leaupepepe Is out (knee tendon).

Perth against Adelaide

Pay attention to: What was a funny Matchup that follows the whole season, especially when the two leading MVP candidates came over the most exciting game all year round. The wildcats have to take care of the business in this game if they want to have the chance to take second place overall. However, if you do not achieve a victory, you can fall as low as the fifth falling and against Adelaide in an excretion game against Adelaide.

Unfortunately, the 36s fell into the finish line, which is not the way a team wants to enter into the post -season. Your best basketball is good enough to beat a team in the league, but the downside may be an even greater concern for your fans.

Player to see: All eyes will understandably appear Kendric Davis And Bryce CottonHow the two superstar guards have a last regular season. Both were phenomenal throughout this season and brought their name to the history books with their outstanding game.

However, it is perhaps the secondary cast for both teams that hold the keys to victory in this game. If the 36s can get DJ Vasiljevic When it rolls, another weapon for this team manages to use aggressively and opens the room for everyone else. It was for the wildcats Kristian Doolittle who occurred offensive and at this end it has become a consistent threat to John Rillie.

The statistics: Adelaide is the lowest rebound team of the league (38.8).

Pay attention to: When Adelaide loses a significant lead against Perth on Friday, the Jackjumpers still have a small window of taking the sixth place from them. If everything works out as she hopes, it would still make a big win against Cairns so that they can make up the necessary percentage increase.

Scott Roth hopes how unlikely it is, that his team ends a hard season at a high and can cheer the fans one last time. They were decimated by injuries to the most important players, but continue to fight and continue to fight what the epitome of this culture is.

Player to see: With Majok Deng Back before an injury, the Jackjumpers have more than enough offensive weapons to achieve a large number of points on their home floor one last time. With some important players who are concluded from the contract at the end of the season, this is another chance for some players to show the organization that they have enough to achieve another deal.

You will rely on it for the Taipans Sam Wbardenburg And Pedro Bradshaw To fill it in their last game of the season. Both appeared in various moments throughout the season and have shown that they do enough to do the work.

Shea IliIf you are a leading candidate for the best defensive player Jordon Crawford on the other hand. It was Crawford who won this fight in game 5 last season, which Ili will be enough motivation for Ili to use it.

The statistics: Cairns on the 20th round is located in the league in the league for blocks per game this season (4.4).

Missing: Sean MacDonald Is outside (foot). Will Magnay Is out (toe). Majok Deng is a playing time decision (ankle). Rob Edwards Is out (canceled).

Pay attention to: The last game of the penultimate round and an incredible regular season ends with a throwdown that could ride everything on the result. Melbourne United may have to win to take second place and avoid the game, while the Phoenix may have to win to get a double chance final.

There are so much at stake between these two teams, many of which believe that they are right in search of a title this season. The Phoenix have won the last two cubes and have never won three in a row since entering the competition.

Player to see: If these two clubs meet, nothing else is important between the white lines, since the emotions between the rivals of the city pass. Chris Goulding Loves to stand above the competition and improve when it is most important, which is a unique threat to Josh King and his elite team.

For the Phoenix, her last two victories against United by Matt Hurt were led, who was simply excellent all season. The former Duke Blue Devil brought himself into the all-NBL dispute about how well he played in the league in his first season. The 24-year-old was practically not too aware of and will be a big reason if his team is supposed to go into the final.

The status: SE Melbourne has won the last nine quarters in the John Cain Arena.

Missing: Derrick Walton Jr. Is out (knee tendon).
