Game day guide: Round 16 vs New Zealand

The Sydney Kings will be keen to return to the winner's circle on Sunday, following their high-scoring defeat to Perth, when they clash with the New Zealand Breakers, who themselves are on a four-game losing streak.
The first versus third-place showdown will present Chase Buford's side a chance to build on their impressive recent home record, having won their past five contests in Sydney.  Another large crowd of more than 12,000 is expected so please plan your trip to Sydney Olympic Park carefully. 
This round 16 clash at Quos Bank Arena will see the Kings celebrate the NBL's Heritage Round by wearing uniforms honouring Sydney teams from the early 1990s.
