Champions DMark Power are the envy of many teams in the MTN-Fuba National Basketball League not only because they have won all their opening four games but also due to the avalanche of talent in their ranks.

The ability of coach Brian Wathum to rotate his stars, keep them fit and happy while executing his plans will, however, be tested today.
Three days after scraping past Knight Riders (104-96), Power face Miracle Eagles at YMCA Court, Wandegeya today and UCU Canons 48 hours later.
“We discussed the fatigue issue in a team meeting prior to the Riders’ game so they are very few worries. There is a plan to get through this period,” said Elliot Bagenda, Power assistant manager. Coach Sam Obol’s Rubaga -based Eagles are expected to provide stiff competition.
