Today @5.35pm NZT the Manawatu Jets will take on the Taranaki Airs in New Plymouth in a game with playoff implications, The Airs sit just above the Jets on the table and the Visitors come in on a 3 game winning streak.

Both teams will be wanting a win today but only 1 can, this game could be a defensive type game as i am sure both teams will be trying to shut down the other.

If the jets can win the rebounding advantage they have a chance, if the Airs can get out and run they have a good chance of victory

Here is the League table as at yesterday

How the Airs will win

The Airs will need to be on top of their game with missing Tai Wynard inside, they need to be able to control the Jets 2 big men and look to push the ball coming off broken play situations.

How the Jets will win

The jets need to try and slow the pace and turn this into a half court game, making sure their 2 x big men get plenty of touches will help. This team has been playing great team basketball of late and i hope this continues later today.
