Big Chill tries to stretch streak to five as it takes on winless Derulo

The top-ranked Superchargers take on the struggling Oilers at 2 p.m.

While they face a winless team in their bid for a fifth straight victory, Big Chill coach Robert Sison said the match is not an excuse to relax in this long conference.

Big Chill looks for a follow-up to its 81-78 victory over Cebuana Lhuillier to stay ahead in the team standings.
