NBL1 weekend preview: August 5

Each week across the entire NBL1 there are countless games to watch. So here are three specific games from Friday, Saturday and Sunday you can watch to get your hoops fix and keep up to date with the biggest stories across the league this weekend!

NBL1 North: Friday, Rockhampton Rockets v Darwin Salties

The Rockets are 11th on the NBL1 North ladder but are still in the race to make the conference finals if they can beat the fifth-seeded Darwin Salties on Friday night. 

Rockhampton are a stacked squad, they have over four players averaging 19 points per game but the Salties trio of stars may be just as dangerous. 

Makuach Maluach has been electric all season, averaging 25 points per game while Tad Dufelmeier and Jerron Jamerson have been excellent co-stars. 

Amidst all the chaos tonight… have the @DarwinSalties have produced the dunk of the year in @NBL1 ? Yes, yes they have. My goodness pic.twitter.com/T8UDFvdwaz
