After a roller-coaster 19-week regular season, the NBL finals have arrived, with Melbourne United set to play the New Zealand Breakers and Adelaide 36ers to take on the Perth Wildcats in the semi-finals.
The series are set to both begin on Saturday, March 3 with United to host the Breakers in the first game at 5:30pm (AEDT) and the Adelaide 36ers to host the second against the Wildcats at 7:30pm (AEDT).
The NBL semi-finals are played over three-match series with the first to win two games advancing to the grand final.
Because Melbourne United and the Adelaide 36ers finished in first and second place respectively, they take home court advantage into the semi-finals over their opponents, the New Zealand Breakers (who finished fourth) and the Perth Wildcats (third).
The first match of each series will be available on both free-to-air and pay-TV.
SBS will be broadcasting both Saturday matches live, with the 5:30pm Melbourne-Breakers game on SBS proper and the 7:30pm 36ers-Wildcats match being broadcast on Viceland – formerly known as SBS 2.
If you have a valid Foxtel TV subscription, you can catch all of the semi-final action on Fox Sports 503.
