Last Meeting: The Skyforce narrowly defeated Dakota, 119-117 on April 7th in the team' sixth meeting of the regular season. Robert Hite led all scorers with 28 points for the Skyforce, while Will Blalock had 25 points and five assists. The Skyforce used a 12-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to come from behind for the victory.

The Wizards were led by 22 points and seven assists from Renaldo Major. Quemont Greer scored 17 points and grabbed a team-high eight rebounds. The Wizards were hurt down the stretch by poor free-throw shooting, connecting on only 5-of-12 attempts in the fourth quarter.

What To Look For:

Williams vs. Williams

The Skyforce and the Wizards both look to someone with WIlliams on the back of their jersey for offense out of the backcourt, with Sioux Falls' Frank WIlliams and Dakota's Corey Williams both averaging double-figure scoring. Corey Williams, who is a former member of the Skyforce, averaged 18.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in three games against SIoux Falls since he made the move up north to Bismarck earlier this season. NBA veteran Frank Williams has been one of the league's best three-point shooters and should be due for a big night after he was held to two points in the first round game against Fort Worth. Frank Williams has missed the last two contests against Dakota due to injury, but lit up the Wizards for 32 points on the opening night of the season.

Major Factor

The reigning D-League Defensive Player of the Year, Renaldo Major has been a huge contributor for to the Wizards' success this year. Dakota is 0-3 when he does not score in double-figures and 0-2 when he is not in the lineup. The Skyforce are going to have to take care of the ball with Major on the floor, as he is averaging 2.3 steals per game against Sioux Falls this season. Major will find his defensive skills put to the test against a Skyforce team that poured in 128 points against Fort Worth on Tuesday, including a D-League Postseason record 40 from Stephen Graham.

Off The Bench

The two oppenents in the Eastern Division Finals have talented starting lineups, but there are plenty of players coming off the bench who can light up the scoreboard as well. In Tuesday's first round win over Fort Worth, the Skyforce received 34 points off the bench from the duo of Robert Hite and Pistons' assignee Will Blalock. The Wizards shouldn't need any reminders about Hite and Blalock, as they combined for 53 off the bench in the last meeting between the two teams. Dakota is no slouch when it comes to production off the bench, with Darius Rice (13.7 ppg), Chris McCray (11.8 ppg), and Rod Benson (10.4 ppg with Dakota) all averaging double-figures in scoring while serving primarily as substitutes.
