Following their crushing 70-33 loss to Highlanders last Saturday, Giants return to action when they face newcomers Sixers in a Southern Region Basketball League match at Bulawayo Club for the Disabled (BCD) today.
Giants lost top players like Michael Zvoushe and Derrick Chiradza at the beginning of the season to Highlanders, but Emmanuel Mukandi, Muchengeti Hamandishe and Mandla Moyo can inspire them to victory.
Sixers had a taste of league action last Friday and surprised National University of Science and Technology (Nust) winning 45-23.
Nust have an even tougher assignment when they face Highlanders today.
They have to contend with Zvoushe, Chiradza, Stewart Woods and Jordan Davies who have been impressive so far for Highlanders.
Nust have found the going tough and suffered a humiliating 137-25 defeat at the hands of Abundant Life Christian Centre (ALCC) last Saturday.
Tomorrow, Kings face Gweru side Unicorns at BCD. Unicorns will be searching for a victory after narrowly losing by two points against Kwekwe team Steelers 56-54 last Saturday.
Kings would want to continue where they left off after beating ZB Titans 64-19 in their last game.
