THE Knox Raiders face two rivals in four days this week, starting with a showdown against Dandenong at Knox Converse Stadium from 7.30pm on Wednesday night.
Second up is an annual grudge match in a battle for The Ashes at Kilsyth this Saturday from 8.15pm.
Confidence will be high among the camp after a huge 131-88 win over Albury Wodonga, largely set up by Lester Strong (33 points, 18 rebounds), CJ Massingale (29 points) and Mick Hill (23 points).
Leading by 24 points at half-time, the Raiders were never headed in the one-sided contest and should be itching to maintain a winning run against the Rangers and Cobras.
Sitting third on the east conference ladder, dual wins should deliver a finals berth.
The Raiders women continue to occupy top spot on the ladder after easing past Albury Wodonga 78-47.
Best for the Raiders included Ashlee Dunlap (17 points, 10 rebounds), Emily Fryters (16 points, 11 rebounds) and Rachael Waterhouse (15 points).
