Meralco Bolts will conclude their 2025-26 Commissioner's Cup elimination-round campaign taking on Magnolia Hotshots on Sunday. The Bolts sit third in the standings at 8–3, while the Hotshots are sixth at 6–5. Who is likely to secure victory? Here is our prediction.
After back-to-back defeats to NLEX Road Warriors and San Miguel Beermen, Meralco Bolts have turned things around in recent outings in the competition. They demolished Terrafirma Dyip 113–69 last time out to make it three wins in a row, all by dominant margins.
At 8–3, the Bolts are now locked in a battle with fourth-place Barangay Ginebra San Miguel for the No.3 seed heading into the playoffs. They have won seven of their last nine games against Magnolia Hotshots across all conferences.
After losing their opening three games, Magnolia Hotshots have turned their fortunes around, winning six of their last eight games to book their place in the playoffs. This includes a 106–94 victory over TNT Tropang 5G in their last game. However, a tough test awaits LA Tenorio’s men on Sunday given their struggles in recent matchups against Meralco Bolts.
