Nelson Giants Team News
In the previous round the Nelson Giants managed to stop the bleeding and their two-game slump with an all-important home victory against the Canterbury Rams. Nelson´s head coach Mike Fitchett thought that his team needed a major roster tweak in order to get things going so he opted to release one of the American imports Kavion Pippen and replace him with a new big man Callum McRae.
The new center immediately repayed his trust with a mammoth debut game against the Rams including 26 points and 8 rebounds to chalk up an important 97:94 victory that kept the Nelson Giants in playoff contention. Will this midseason roster switch continue to work out remains to be seen, but at the moment it seems that Nelson´s coaching staff made the right decision.
Bay Hawks Team News
After a tough and unexpected 15-point loss away from home at the hands of the Canterbury Rams, the Bay Hawks were poised to have a big game at home against the Franklin Bulls. They were expected to rebound and recover but after two and half quarters of play found themselves down by 20 points and already looked like they had given up.
However, what happened in the final 15 minutes of the game was truly a remarkable turnaround as the Hawks managed to erase the massive deficit spurred on by the home crowd. The game ultimately went to overtime, where the Bay Hawks had multiple chances to win the game but in the end suffered a heartbreaking defeat with the Bulls stealing the win courtesy of a Dom Kelman-Poto´s buzzer-beating layup.
Nelson Giants vs Bay Hawks Prediction
With this one we decided to side with the public which has its money on the Bay Hawks. While it is true that the Hawks lost their last two games, they woke up from the dead in their previous encounter against the Bulls and almost won the game in overtime after being down by more than 20 points.
Our choice for this game is the Bay Hawks to cover the spread and fight for the win until the very end.
