Game day guide: Round 19 vs Illawarra

This Sunday's blockbuster between the Sydney Kings and Illawarra Hawks is as big as it comes.

Not only is the Adrian Hurley Cup on the line but so are NBL24 finals placings, when the two NSW rivals lock horns at Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday - which marks the Hoops Capital side's final home game of the regular season.

A win during round 19's showdown and the Kings could edge closer to cementing a top-four spot.

But a loss would leave their finals chances hanging by a thread, heading into the final round of the season.

Kings duo Alex Toohey and Angus Glover have expressed how important this fixture is, as the harbour city side continues its title defence.

As well as the game, the big day will also see Kings legend BJ Carter inducted as the fourth member of the club's prestigious Ring of Honour - read about it here.
