Coming off a 103-73 loss to the JackJumpers, The Hawks will need to rebound quickly against a desperate Adelaide outfit searching for their first win of the season.
South Australian junior Lachlan Olbrich returns home and will be out to build on the impressive start to his professional career with a strong performance in front of familiar faces.
The Hawks will welcome long-range marksman Hyunjung Lee back to the lineup after missing Thursday night's match with illness.
Opposition Watch
Few teams have had the roster turnover quite like CJ Bruton's side.
Gone are the marquee names of Franklin, Johnson, Clark, and Cleveland, replaced by former 36er Jacob Wiley, Jason Cadee, Isaac Humphries, and Next Star Trentyn Flowers.
The 36ers remain winless in NBL24, making tonight's match a danger game for the visiting Hawks.
The backcourt experience of Mitch McCarron and Jason Cadee will lead an Adelaide side desperate to open their account and keep in touch with the rest of the competition in the season's early rounds.
Where it Will Be Won
The Hawks combination of Froling and Olbrich will face off with Isaac Humphries in a battle of the Aussie big men.
The Hawks have used their size and length to great effect, ranking first in the league for offensive rebounds, with Froling and Olbrich leading from the front.
Humphries will call on the likes of Wylie and co to limit the second chance points available to the Hawk's twin towers and the perimeter shooters of the visiting side.
Where to Watch
Catch all the action from 5:30pm AEDT LIVE on ESPN via Kayo and Foxtel.
