MERALCO and Phoenix Super LPG go up against each other in a fight to grab the twice-to-beat advantage in the 2023-24 PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
The Bolts and the Fuel Masters face off at 4 p.m. at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.
Meralco and Phoenix are in a share of second place with a 7-2 win-loss record, and the winner will be assured of the quarterfinal incentive.
The Bolts are coming off a high after beating league-leader Magnolia Chicken Timplados, 85-80, last Saturday in Iloilo City.
The Fuel Masters are out to bounce back following a long break. They lost to San Miguel, 117-96, last Christmas.
In the second game, NLEX will try to keep itself in the playoff hunt against Converge at 8 p.m.
The Road Warriors are at ninth with a 3-6 win-loss slate, half-a-game behind TNT (4-6).
NLEX defeated Blackwater, 104-97, in its previous game last December 22 to remain in contention for a quarterfinal berth.
The Road Warriors are pressed to win against the FiberXers as they still have a game against twice-to-beat seeking Barangay Ginebra on Saturday in Legazpi City.
The FiberXers look to finish the elimination on a high. They dropped to 1-8 last December 23 with an 88-80 loss to Magnolia.
