The NLEX Road Warriors look to arrest a five-game losing skid and keep their playoff hopes alive in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup.
The NLEX Road Warriors are desperate to halt a five-game losing skid as they face the equally-struggling Phoenix Fuel Masters in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup on Sunday, Jan. 19, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
Tip-off is set at 7:30 p.m.
NLEX, sitting at 3-6, is eager to rediscover the form that gave them a promising start to the conference.
Despite their current slump, the Road Warriors remain optimistic about their playoff chances. A win against Phoenix could be the first step toward rejuvenating their campaign.
Import Mike Watkins, who has been a bright spot with his consistent double-double performances, will once again anchor NLEX's bid.
However, the Road Warriors need greater contributions from their locals to support Watkins and deliver much-needed firepower.
With both teams sharing the same record, this matchup is critical for possible playoff positioning. Expect NLEX to play with urgency as the Road Warriors aim to end their skid and keep their postseason hopes alive.
