Sheffield Sharks play their final home game of the regular season tonight, attempting to lock up third place in the league as the playoffs beckon.

Sharks host Surrey Scorchers at the EIS Sheffield in Sheffield’s last home BBL playoff preview, as coach Atiba Lyons’ men look to claim their ninth consecutive win over Scorchers, currently the league’s bottom ranked side.

Using a run of four wins out of their past five games, including a comfortable away win against Manchester Giants last weekend, Sharks have risen to third in the league table with only two games to go.

Sharks captain Mike Tuck isn’t so bothered with his side’s finishing position however.

“In my mind it’s not a huge issue where we finish” Tuck said.

“Third place obviously looks better on paper and for us, mentally, it will help.

“But in terms of who we see first round of the Play-Offs it’s not a big issue.”
