With only one round remaining before the NBL1 North Finals, Makuach Maluach gave his all to the Salties across a pair of games this weekend.

The wing averaged 26 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.5 steals as Darwin came away with one win and one loss.

Malith Machar - Forestville

Melbourne United’s newest addition came to play for Forestville as the Eagles look to take top-spot in the NBL1 East with one round left before finals.

Machar finished with a double-double, tallying 18 points and 13 rebounds in a 19-point victory.

Shea Ili - Sandringham

Another two games, another two wins for Shea Ili and the Sabres over the weekend.

Ili was terrific, averaging 20 points and 11 assists while leading his side to victories over both Tasmanian teams.

David Okwera - Sandringham

David Okwera was just about as efficient as you could ask him to be over Sandringham’s pair of wins, only missing two shots across the two games.

Okwera tallied 25 points, 22 rebounds and four blocks over the Sabres’ Tasmanian sweep.

David Barlow - Sandringham

Putting in a pair of game-winning performances, David Barlow was huge for Sandringham all weekend.

Against Hobart, Barlow was a game-best +16, helping the Sabres to a comeback fourth quarter victory, while against NW Tasmania he notched a double-double, finishing with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Zac Triplett - Keilor

Returning for his first game in months following a hand injury, Zac Triplett picked up exactly where he left off, helping Keilor to a big win over Geelong.

Triplett came off the bench and put up 15 points, three rebounds and three assists in the 24-point victory.
