Bay Area is on a three-game winning streak after defeating Magnolia, 95-89, last Saturday, fortifying its chances of taking the twice-to-beat incentive in the quarterfinals.
TNT has been struggling as of late with two straight defeats, dropping an 89-85 decision against Barangay Ginebra on Sunday.
The Tropang Giga are set to parade a new import for the contest in Matt Mobley, a 28-year-old product of Central Connecticut and St. Bonaventure.
Listed at 6-foot-4, Mobley played internationally in Belgium, France, Turkey, Spain, and Germany before signing with the Tropang Giga.
In the second game, San Miguel goes for its second straight win with a match against Terrafirma at 5:45 p.m.
The Beermen are out to improve their 4-5 win-loss record, and keep themselves in the fight for quarterfinal berths.
San Miguel defeated Phoenix, 108-104, to arrest its two-game skid.
Terrafirma is going for back-to-back victories after it ended a 25-game losing streak with a 124-114 win over NLEX last Friday.
