Elimination Finals

Bendigo Braves v Knox Raiders 

The Raiders will head over to Bendigo to try to take down the defensive-minded Braves. Kuany Kuany is the Braves' weapon of choice, he averaged 21 points per game but the Braves have great depth too, as six players who averaged double-digit points this regular season. 

But the Raiders are just as dangerous, Alex Robinson Jr has been a superstar all season while teammates Reuben Te Rangi, Deng Acouth and Mason Peatling all add invaluable NBL experience to this finals run. 

Find out who will win on Saturday at 7:00pm on NBL1.com.au or the NBL1 App here.

Frankston Blues v Geelong Supercats 

While the Frankston Blues have already got their ticket into the NBL1 Coles Express National Final, they will be as hungry as ever to still try and win the South conference. In their way will be the Supercats, Gabriel Hadley has been Geelong’s star all season and will be a handful for Lachlan Barker and the Blues.
