The Knights (nine points) play newcomers Selassie
Gardens in the opening game, while St George's Slayers,
also on nine, will look to keep pace with the leaders
when they face Rebels, who have lost their last two
matches.
Tomorrow, Portmore Flames tackle Blazing Panthers in an
interesting clash.
Both have three wins from six games and fancy themselves
to be among the front-runners, so both will be gunning
for victory.
In the other game, Selassie Gardens - with two wins from
five starts - will start favourites against lowly Arnett
Rockers who have lost a few players to the St Georges
Slayers. The Rockers have just one win from seven games
this season.
In the Eastern Conference, second-placed Morant Bay
(eight points) will look to close the gap on Playaz,
when they meet joint cellar-dwellers, Buff Bay Archers
(six)also at Bath.
Meanwhile, Pure Playaz, with maximum 12 points from six
games, should extend their winning streak when they face
third-placed Portland Pistons (seven), also at Bath
tomorrow.
Action in the Western Conference will see leaders
Hoopers looking to take full advantage of Granville
Jaguars' inactivity this weekend when they turn out
against third-placed Catherine Hall Allstars, tomorrow.
Hoopers and Jaguars sit on top with 10 points, followed
by Allstars with eight. A win for Allstars would leave
them tied with Jaguars and one adrift of Hoopers.
Today, Innercity Avalanche take on Sav-la-Mar Hawks, as
both go for their second win of the season.
Team AAAH will have a chance to go top of the keenly
contested Central Conference, with leaders Nain Moreups
(nine points) out of action this weekend.
Team AAAH (eight should get the better of Spaulding
Hippers, who are winless in five, at Aenon Town today.
Tomorrow, Victory can join Team AAAH at the top when
they play Manchester Pythons, who are looking to rebound
from their first loss in four matches, also at Aenon
Town.
NBL newcomers Selassie Gardens' Arthur Miller
returns to action twice this weekend against contrasting
opponents. They face NBL defending champions Urban
Knights today and bottom of tables Arnett Gardens
Rockers tomorrow.
