BREAKDOWN
Vegas finds itself in a battle for a playoff spot and is just a half game back in the conference record tiebreaker coming into this game. The problem is, the Knight Hawks trail the Arizona Rattlers by that half game. A win over the Rattlers would do several things; complete the sweep, move the Knight Hawks into at least fourth place in the standings and improve their tiebreaker standing. With their 55-54 win two weeks ago over the Rattlers behind them, picking up the win over their conference rivals would be the perfect start of a playoff run. They score 44.5 points per game (eighth) and allow 42.3 (sixth).

BREAKDOWN
Arizona seems to have regrouped after some hiccups early in the season. The Rattlers have seen some players come back from injury and are preparing to make a serious playoff run. They play five of their remaining seven games at home, though all seven matchups come against teams which are in the Western Conference playoff hunt. The Rattlers sit in fourth place entering this contest and are just one game back of the Bay Area Panthers and Northern Arizona Wranglers in the playoff race, so these next games will be vital. They are averaging 50.9 points per game (third in IFL) and allowing 47.0 (ninth).
