The Wizards, seeking to retain the title they won over Welcoat Paints last year, are out to extend their dominance over the Knights when they clash in the main game at 4 p.m.
Clashing in the curtain-raiser at 2 p.m. are the Paint Masters and Red Lions in a game that will feature Welcoats awesome frontcourt firepower against Negros Navigations tested run and gun offense anchored on veterans Jerome Paterno and Yousif Al Jamal.
The winners in todays matches will join Montaña Pawnshop and Granny Goose Kornets on top. The Jewels beat Harbour Centre in overtime, 81-75, while the Snackmasters proved too classy for Bacchus Energy Drink, 62-49.
The Knights, who acquired the services of 6-foot-5 Ronald Capati, shooter Emerson Oreta and the rugged Ardy Larong to beef up their already solid roster, have yet to win over the Wizards in five times they clashed since joining the countrys premier amateur league last year.
Even in todays game, Toyota coach Louie Alas remains wary of the Wizards.
