Humphries' match-up with Melbourne's Jock Landale will be a key battle that could decide the match and be key to his chances of representing Australia at the Tokyo Olympics.

Cairns Taipans vs Perth Wildcats
5. Semi-final rematch
This will be the first meeting between these teams since their epic semi-final series almost 12 months ago.

6. Big man Mooney in form
Perth big man John Mooney enters this game following an historic 30-pt, 18-reb performance last Tuesday night against Sydney.
Meanwhile, Cairns wing Kouat Noi is coming off a career-high 27 points against Melbourne on Monday night.

Melbourne United vs Sydney Kings
9. Melbourne Massacre memories
The last time these teams faced-off in John Cain Arena – Game 2 of last year’s semi-final series – was a truly remarkable game.
Melbourne completely wiped the floor with the Kings that night, smacking them by an incredible 45 points (125-80).
It was the biggest winning margin by any team since the change to 40-minute games for the 2010 season.
Of course, the Kings responded by winning Game 3 in Sydney to advance to the Grand Final Series.

Brisbane Bullets vs Cairns Taipans
11. First 'Sunshine Stoush' of the season
After an epic encounter in the season’s first ‘Sunshine Stoush’, the NBL’s Queensland rivals will face-off in neutral territory as part of the NBL Cup.
Hopefully, this match will be as exciting as the last time these two teams met in round 3 in Brisbane - when the Bullets claimed a memorable two-point victory in overtime (105-103).
