View all the fixtures for this weekend
Last of the unbeatens face off
Only three unbeaten sides remain in D1M this season and two of them are set to go head-to-head in the North West on Saturday night.
Manchester Magic (4-0) host Pool A leaders Birmingham City University, who put their own spotless 6-0 record on the line in the process.
After both teams have made hot starts to the season, defeat for either side shouldn't be a huge issue, but no doubt one-loss St Helens will be keeping a close eye on proceedings, as will the likes of Sheffield Arrows (3-2) and Worcester Wolves (4-2).
Pool B's lone unbeaten side, Barnet Bulldogs, have a test on the road against Cobham Cobras as one of the league's pair of Sunday fixtures. That game tips at 2:30pm and can be enjoyed live from the embed above.
Stats leaders emerge
With the league now moving into November, a number of players have wasted no time in rising to the top of the individual leaderboards.
Hamza Ibrahim leads D1M with a stunning 31.8PPG, and his Arrows have a big away tie with St Helens on Sunday.
Isaac Temilola has pulled down 17.0RPG and Titans team mate Jack Green has dished 8.3APG, both will be hoping for more of the same as Greenwich travel to London Lions II in Pool B.
Jaguar Jackson (5.7SPG) leads the steals list, meaning Barking will need to be on their toes as Jackson's London Elite side head to East London on Saturday afternoon.
HoopsHQ keeps fans in the heart of the action
