Otago Nuggets face Nelson Giants in this game.
Otago Nuggets come into this game in rich vein of form and are only a few points away from the league leaders. They can come within touching distance of the leaders with a win in this game and the motivation is at an all time high. They are coming off a win too against the Jets in a comprehensive 130-94 win
Nelson Giants need a win and this is perhaps the worst time to come up against a strong opponent having come off a defeat in the previous game. They need to desperately find their mark if they want to keep the competition up with the other teams
