The Phoenix return to the Fire Pit after an eight-day break, playing their first Sunday home game in 245 days.

Josh King’s side are coming off three strong wins over Illawarra, Sydney and Brisbane, climbing to second on the ladder after a gruelling stretch of five games in 15 days.

New import Wes Iwundu has officially joined the rotation, playing in the last two games and finalising the Phoenix’s roster.

The Wildcats are coming off a nine-point win over the Tasmania JackJumpers after a second half comeback. John Rillie will be hopeful his newest import David Duke Jr suits up for his NBL debut.
