The Eagles are currently at the bottom of the standings with a 2-8 (win-loss) slate behind the Socsargen-Taguig Marlins (3-11) record but still have four games left in their schedule.
The Patriots, on the other hand, are way behind their rivals in the northern side with a 2-7 card and will need a miracle to salvage a spot in the next round.
Gametime is at 3 p.m.
But focus will be on the LBC Batangas-Negros duel at 5:30 p.m., a game between two leading teams in their respective groups.
The Blades are on top in the north with a 9-1 slate while the Slashers firmed up their hold of the southern lead with an 8-2 card. — Joey Villar
