Each week across the NBL1 there are countless games to watch. But here are three key games from the weekend to keep your eye on ahead of another massive slate of NBL1 action.
This weekend features a reduced fixture, with only two games in the NBL1 East, no games in the NBL1 Central and a handful across the NBL1 South.
See the full NBL1 fixture here.
Friday: (Women’s NBL1 South) Nunawading Spectres vs Knox Raiders
Friday night starts with a classic battle of East Melbourne, with the Nunawading Spectres hosting the Knox Raiders.
The two clubs have talent galore and are both in the race for a Finals spot - with the Spectres sitting ninth and the Raiders sitting 10th going into this weekend.
Nunawading’s Alice Kunek will be going up against the reigning NBL1 South MVP, Alicia Froling in a must-watch game of home-grown Australian talent in the ‘burbs.
Watch the game live from 6:00pm AEST via NBL1.com.au or the NBL1 App here.
Saturday: (Men’s NBL1 North) Mackay Meteors vs Ipswich Force
This Saturday is the definition of a must-watch game.
One of the MVP contenders, Isaac White, will face off against his former team for the first time.
The Ipswich Force reloaded this offseason, bringing back Boomer Nathan Sobey and both Galloway’s to form a superteam up North.
In the NBL1 offseason, White said he made the move to Mackay to get the “full NBL1 experience”.
“I was just looking for an organisation that was super professional, and that’s definitely no knock on Ipswich,” he said.
Just from playing Mackay and playing in Mackay against them, I can tell they are one of the best-run NBL1 organisations I’ve seen.”
The fifth on the ladder Meteores will host the third on the ladder Force from 8:00pm AEST via NBL1.com.au or the NBL1 App here.

Sunday: (Women’s NBL1 West) Mandurah Magic vs Goldfields Giants
The third on the ladder Mandurah Magic will take on Darcee Garbin’s Goldfields Giants in an early morning Sunday clash.
While the Giants have struggled at times this season, the addition of Opal Dacree Garbin has been a spark of energy for her local club.
While the Magic have been on a tear, winning six of their past seven games during the middle of the season.
Watch the game live from 11:00am AWST via NBL1.com.au or the NBL1 App here.
