LEICESTER, United Kingdom (Interstat) — The London Lions look to continue their strong form and extend a winning streak against the Leicester Riders when the Super League Basketball rivals meet Saturday at Morningside Arena.

London (15-8 across all competitions) enters the matchup on a high after a decisive 82-74 road victory at Glasgow on Dec. 21. The Lions have also won both previous meetings this season against Leicester, 79-72 on Sept. 19 and 82-70 on Nov. 2.

The Riders (4-6), meanwhile, seek to stabilize a rocky start and gain a crucial home win. They are coming off a 98-85 loss at Newcastle on Dec. 19, a game in which guard Donald Carey scored 23 points. Carey has been a bright spot, averaging 17 points and 6.5 assists over his last two outings.

A key matchup will feature London’s versatile forward Aaryn Rai against Leicester’s backcourt. Rai is coming off a well-rounded performance in Glasgow with 10 points, six rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes. His playmaking will be central to London’s attack.

For Leicester, containing London’s guard rotation will be critical. In the last head-to-head win, London’s Chasson Randle and Tarik Phillip combined for 28 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. The Riders will need a strong defensive effort from Carey and backcourt mate Travis Evee, who had nine points and four assists against Newcastle.

The game marks the start of a busy stretch for London, which faces Trento in a back-to-back in Italy on Monday and Tuesday. Leicester continues its homestand against Bristol Academy on Dec. 30.

Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. local time at Morningside Arena.
