Leicester Riders coach Rob Paternostro expects to face a much-improved London Capital side on Saturday.

Riders lost a tight match in London earlier this season, but crushed them 110-38 in December - the largest ever winning margin in BBL history.

But despite winning six of their last seven games, Paternostro told BBC Radio Leicester he will be taking nothing for granted at the John Sandford Centre.

"They have added some size and have a new look," Paternostro said.

But he is confident his team can secure fourth spot and a home tie in the play-offs.

"Right now we have nine games to go and that fourth spot is there for us," he added.

"We are playing very well as a team right now. I have nine guys who continue to improve and are all contributing each game.

"The guys are hungry right now, and everyone is working hard to improve their game. We need to come out this week against London and continue to improve, we want to keep the momentum going."
