On the other hand, the Nelson Giants have been performing big-time, winning six out of their nine games, and being among the top-three squads.

NZBL Projections, Stats & Analysis

Auckland needs to regroup

Auckland has lost three games in a row and all of these losses have been by two-to-four points. One of the main reasons has been their flailing defense, which has been falling apart with each game. The team is full of brilliant offensive options. Chris Johnson has been the major damage inflictor, being in 20+ points and 10+ rebounds average whereas Robert Loe has been their second-best scoring option. The team moves the ball well and multiple players average over 3 assists a game.

Giants are doing well

The Giants have won three out of their last four games and their defense has been way better than Auckland, while their offense has also been steadily getting better. While Trey Mourning leads the team in points per game, Jarrod West has picked up his scoring recently and comes into this game after a 35-point night. Trey Mourning and Samuel Dempster have been among the rebounding leaders whereas Jarrod West has led the team in assists.
