Wildcats, Breakers primed for top-of-the-table showdown BIG SHOW: New Zealand's Cedric Jackson (right) looms large ahead of Perth's clash with the Breakers. AN unstoppable force will run into an immovable object at Perth Arena tomorrow night when the two NBL title favourites go toe-to-toe. The Perth Wildcats have won 12 straight games at their new home, while league-leading New Zealand are on a 16-game winning run across all venues. One streak will be ended tomorrow night in front of a sellout crowd. While the game result won't change anything in the standings, it could serve as a handy confidence boost - or psychological blow - on the eve of the playoffs. Cats coach Rob Beveridge said he expected both sides to go hard for the win, with New Zealand likely to bring a full-strength squad - minus injured centre Will Hudson. What you see is what you get with us. I don't think they'll hide too much either," Beveridge said. We have to prepare as if it's a playoff game. It's great that they're bringing their main group over. There's no better preparation than going against the No.1 team one week out from playoffs, so that's what I'm excited about. With the Cats and Breakers set to begin their respective semi-final series next Thursday, the two sides could be forgiven for leaving some petrol in the tank come tomorrow night. But Beveridge said there would be no such let-off just days out from the playoffs. We're going for it. We're going in to play as hard as we can," he said. We've been lighter this week with the players - we've been resting the bodies up so we can go 100 per cent in the game. Tomorrow night's game features a number of pivotal duels, with MVP favourite Cedric Jackson set to come face-to-face with defensive dynamo Damian Martin. Breakers centre Alex Pledger will enter his matchup with Matt Knight high on confidence, having won the past two NBL Player of the Week awards. But Pledger has been below his best in the three previous clashes with Perth this season and the Cats will be keen to once again limit his influence. I believe I've got the best big man in the league in Matty Knight. Although Matty's a little bit shorter, he's a lot more mobile and equally as strong, so it's going to be a terrific matchup," Beveridge said. The way we play - the way we get on the boards and our mobility has helped. But at the moment, (Pledger) is playing great and we've got to find a way of matching up with him. The semi-final opponents for Perth and New Zealand will be determined during this weekend's final round of regular season match-ups, with Wollongong simply needing to beat Adelaide at home to secure a few-round series against the Wildcats.
