The final round of the 2025 regular season sees the Eastern Suns hit the road to face the Mandurah Magic in a high-stakes clash with major playoff implications for the Men; both teams are looking to snap their respective losing streaks.
FORM GUIDE
Women
The Eastern Suns Women are coming off back-to-back losses following their mini winning streak, with their most recent defeat a 20-point loss to the Giants. Sitting at 3–16, the Suns will be eager to end their season on a positive note. The Magic, currently 7th at 10–9, also enter the contest on a two-game slide, having dropped games to Rockingham and Perth. A strong performance by the Magic could sharpen their edge before finals.
Men
For the Suns Men, this one is do-or-die. After falling to the Giants last weekend, they must win to lock in their first playoff appearance since the 2019 SBL season. Mandurah also have everything to play for—currently fighting for a spot and potentially a home final depending on other results. They narrowly lost to Perth last week 91–89 after leading at halftime, and will be out to protect their home court.
