Game day guide: Round 14 vs South East Melbourne

Fresh off back-to-back wins on their home court against Melbourne and Tasmania, the Sydney Kings will look to make it to three in a row at Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday when they host the powerful South East Melbourne Phoenix.

The last time the Kings played the Phoenix, the latter got the better of them in double-overtime but Chase Buford's troops are determined to not let that happen again.

The round 14 clash will also pit two of the top MVP contenders against one another in Sydney's Xavier Cooks and South East Melbourne's Mitch Creek.
