Knox come into this game with a reputation for slick ball movement and high‑efficiency shooting. Their system relies on spacing and quick decisions, making them a difficult matchup for defences that lack mobile bigs. Eltham, meanwhile, pride themselves on physical defence and rebounding. The Wildcats will aim to disrupt Knox’s rhythm by crowding the paint and limiting clean looks from outside.

• Knox Raiders Women – Their floor general orchestrates the offence and is deadly in pick‑and‑roll situations. Watch for their sharpshooter coming off screens; if she gets hot, Eltham’s defence will be stretched thin.
• Eltham Wildcats Women – The Wildcats rely on interior toughness. Their forwards must dominate the boards and convert second‑chance opportunities. Eltham’s backcourt will need to apply on‑ball pressure to slow Knox’s transition.

Both teams are jockeying for position in the NBL1 South standings. A road win for Eltham would be a huge confidence booster, while Knox will look to defend their home floor and assert themselves as contenders. Expect a tight, tactical contest with runs from both sides.
