FEATURED GOW: The Saturday contest between Roanoke and Huntsville will be the featured game for NBA TV's NBDL Game of the Week show on March 10.
BACK IN THE SADDLE: After graciously giving way to some guys named Jordan, Pippen, Cartwright and Ewing for a re-air of the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals on NBA Hardwood Classics, the NBDL Game of the Week returns next week (March 3). The featured game will be the Huntsville-Columbus contest from February 19.
WAKE UP DRACULA: A rarity in the NBDL, there are two day games scheduled this weekend, with Florida and Columbus tipping off at noon ET and Roanoke and Huntsville playing at 2 p.m. CT on Saturday. Including the MLK Showcase, just 10 of 144 D-League games were scheduled to begin in daylight.
IF IT'S REBOUNDING YOU LIKE, then a trip to the Von Braun Center in Huntsville should be a priority this weekend. Games tonight and Saturday pit the top two rebounders in the NBDL in Roanoke's James Thomas and Huntsville's Rodney Bias. Thomas averages 12.5 per game, Bias 12.2.
WEEKEND SERIES RECORDS
