The Force will put their two-game win streak on the line in round four when they travel to Carrara Stadium to battle the Gold Coast Rollers on Friday.

While next up for Mudronja and his Seahawks face the Northside Wizards at South Pine Sports Complex from 7pm Saturday.

Unfortunately, Lachlan Dent and his Brisbane Capitals weren't able to take to the court on Saturday against Southern Districts at the Rowland Cowan Stadium, as the hardwood was deemed too slippery and the game was postponed.

Dent's side is on the road again in round four, travelling to Bravus Arena to face Rockhampton.
