On Saturday it will be the turn of Nigeria Customs basketball club to take to the floor against wounded Dodan Warriors basketball club in a local derby.
The encounter promises to be a thriller since both side will attempt to brighten it chances of making the final-4 playoffs.
Sunday is a match dubbed "friendly" between Islanders basketball and Ebun Comets basketball club, another local derby.
It is dub "friendly" because coaches of the two teams Toyin Sonoiki (Islanders) and Ayo Bakare (Comets) have so many things in common as regard basketball in Nigeria.
The Savannah conference pairing still retain the face of last weekend as there was little adjustment to the fixture which saw different games played last weekend.
