Magnolia Hotshots and Macau Black Bears will both look to end their winless starts to this year's PBA Commissioner's Cup when they face off on Saturday. The two teams sit at the bottom of the elimination round standings on identical 0–3 records. Who is likely to win? Here is our prediction.
Magnolia Hotshots began their 2025–26 Commissioner's Cup campaign with a narrow three-point defeat to Phoenix Fuelmasters before falling by seven points to NLEX Road Warriors in their second game.
Their most recent outing ended in defeat as well, as they lost 97–91 to Blackwater Bossing. Despite these setbacks, LA Tenorio's men head into tomorrow's matchups as favorites due to their greater PBA experience.
Macau Black Bears' PBA debut is nothing short of a disappointment. The tournament invitees fell by eight points to Converge FiberXers in their opening game and lost 116–109 to Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in their second game.
Most recently, they collapsed to their biggest defeat in the competition against Barangay Ginebra San Miguel, losing 110–93. As debutants, Marcus Elliott's side faces another stern challenge on Saturday against Magnolia Hotshots, who have won the competition three times.
