Spread across two days to take advantage of the school holidays, Adelaide basketball fans have the ultimate appetiser for the final round. 

Woodville Warriors: Sharif Black 

After two seasons playing in Victoria in the Big V competition, Sharif Black has most certainly made the superstar transition over to NBL1.

Leading his team in scoring and assists, he has been must-watch television all season. While finals are just out of reach for the Warriors, the Flames will bring plenty of firepower to try and finish the season on a high.

Norwood Flames: Emily Saunders 

In her first professional season, Emily Saunders has been a double-double machine for the defending champions. 

Averaging 11 points, 10 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game for the Flames, she has been a major bright spot in their attempts to make another finals run. 

Thursday, Round 14: Melbourne Tigers vs Waverley Falcons 

Women’s live from 6:00pm AEST | Men’s live from 8:00pm AEST 

Melbourne Tigers: Tom Wilson 

After receiving significant NBL buzz earlier in the season, this might be Tom Wilson’s best chance to make a lasting impression on teams before the end of the season.

Averaging 19.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists, the former SEABL MVP and AFL player has had an outstanding season for his junior club.

Going up against a finals-hopeful club in Waverley, Wilson has the chance to shut down their post-season hopes and make a fabled NBL return.

Friday, Round 14: Norths Bears vs Manly Warringah Sea Eagles 

Men’s live from 6:00pm AEST | Women’s live from 8:00pm AEST

A grand final re-match to end the regular season, how good is this!

Sitting second and fourth on the ladder respectively, the rest of the conference will be watching to see who comes out on top heading into the Finals. 

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles: Brooke Flowers

In her first season with the runners-up, she has been the athletic x-factor they needed. Averaging nine points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks – she’ll be able to do the dirty work for this overall elite team.

Friday, Round 14: Brisbane Capitals vs Northside Wizards

Women’s live from 6:00pm AEST | Men’s live from 8:00pm AEST

Brisbane Capitals: Sam McDaniel 

Heading into finals, Sam McDaniels will be the focal point of the Northside Wizards to try and slow him down. Averaging 22.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game – he has been near-impossible to stop on either end this season. 

Currently only two games behind the third-placed Logan, the Capitals could make a real run in the Finals if McDaniels can kickstart his momentum against the Wizards.

Saturday, Round 16: Lakeside Lightning vs Joondalup Wolves

Women’s live from 5:00pm AWST | 7:00pm AEST 

Lakeside Lightning: Caitlyn Jones 

Sitting just inside the final eight teams, the Lightning will need to get a win to ensure they don’t miss the finals for a second season in a row. 

The one to watch will be Caitlyn Jones, the 23-year-old scoring guard has progressed over the years into one of the team's leading threats – improving an average of 14 to 22 points per game over three seasons. 

Having a relatively quiet game in a buzzer-beater loss to the Redbacks, Jones and her squad will be ready to host the talented Wolves.
