KEY PLAYERS
Wildcats - Bryce Cotton: The former NBA guard has added much-needed scoring potency since arriving in January. The 24-year-old has averaged 22 points per game this season, and his silky passing has also been a key asset. His combination with Casey Prather has been instrumental in recent weeks.
Hawks - Rotnei Clarke: The shooting guard has played a key role for the Hawks all season, averaging 17 points per game to win the NBL's Best Sixth Man award. The 2014 NBL MVP faces a tough task to continue his hot form against a Wildcats defence featuring Damian Martin.
