With playoff out of reach, only the fight for the 5th spot makes this game between Otago Nuggets and Canterbury Rams an intriguing affair. But the current form, three defeats in four games for both teams, is hardly promising to make draw conclusion about either team. That said, the home court gives Nuggets a benefit of the doubt.
