Sunday: (Men’s NBL1 South) Keilor Thunder vs Knox Raiders 

Sunday will be the battle of the bigs. Keilor’s Oliver Hayes-Brown will face off against Knox’s Mason Peatling, in what should be a great cross-city battle.

Keilor’s star young gun Zac Triplett will be one to watch, after averaging 22 points per game last season as well as former Taipan Robbie Heath -- who played for Ringwood last season. 

Knox also made some big moves this offseason by re-signing Adelaide 36ers Deng Acouth and bringing in American import Freddie McSwain Jr.
