Teams Preview

Magnolia Hotshots

Macau head into the contest with a 112-119 loss against TNT. Their poor run in the ongoing season continues. The Black Bears dropped four out of the last five games across all competitions. They recently participated in the Asian Tournament where they won two out of three matches. Recently, they halted a seven-game losing streak in the ongoing competition. Macau are 1-8 in the 2026 PBA Commissioner’s Cup. 

The Black Bears have been eliminated from the playoffs. They are sitting at the bottom in the PBA standings. Macau averaged 99 points in the last ten games. Their next assignment is against the struggling Blackwater. Meanwhile, they are playing against them for the first time. Macau also participated in the East Asia Super League and dropped all six group stage games. It has been a forgettable season for the Knights. 

The Black Bears were one of the teams in the ASEAN Basketball League but later merged with the PBA. Macau will play three more games in the Commissioner’s Cup, including two home games. The Knights would look to avoid bottom finish in the competition. If they beat Blackwater, they can tie with them on victories. Damian Chong Qui could be an offensive threat in this fixture. The 27-year-old guard averaged 21.3 points in the ongoing season. We back him to score 15 or more points in the upcoming fixture against Blackwater. 

Blackwater Bossing

Blackwater Bossing are coming off a 108-115 loss against the Barangay Ginebra. It was their seventh loss in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup. The Bossing are 2-7 in the Commissioner’s Cup and their playoff chances are completely gone. They recently snapped a four-game losing skid after a riveting victory over San Miguel. It was also their first road win in the competition. 

Blackwater would eye a better finish in the tournament so they need a couple of wins in the remaining games. They will take on struggling Macau next in the road assignment. Both teams are locking horns for the first time. The Bossing dropped a 1-10 record in the Philippines Cup and missed the playoffs. They finished in the bottom two. The Bossing are again on the verge of getting the same finish. 

Blackwater are currently standing 11th in the Commissioner’s Cup table with a 2-7 record. Blackwater are 1-3 on the road during the ongoing competition. If we pick out an offensive threat for the upcoming game, Robert Upshaw is right up there. The 32-year-old forward averaged 33.4 points and 11.6 rebounds in the ongoing season. We back him to score 15 or more points in the upcoming game.
