The Phoenix Fuel Masters have yet to win a game in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup.
With Jason Perkins expected to be back in action, Phoenix will try to avoid a 0-3 hole when it takes on reigning champ Meralco in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup on Sunday, April 13.
Gametime is at 5 p.m. at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate.
The Fuel Masters have dropped their first two outings — falling to Terrafirma and Converge — while missing their leading scorer in Perkins, who sat out due to illness.

Now he seems healthy and ready to return, Perkins will look to anchor Phoenix's charge against a Meralco side also looking to rebound.
The Bolts (2-1) are coming off a tough 98-110 loss to San Miguel during the league’s golden anniversary celebration and are just as motivated to get back in the win column.
But with their top gun back, the Fuel Masters are hoping to get their act together and put themselves in a good position early on in the conference.
