Adelaide 36ers centre Kai Sotto said the team needs to have 'confidence and intensity' as it prepares to take on the Brisbane Bullets tonight.
The 36ers are on a three-game losing streak and tonight's clash at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre is must-win.
Despite the form blip, Sotto said confidence is growing in the group.
"It's growing each day, we're starting everything at practice, the level of competition is rising, it's been really good," he said.
"I'm confident in our team in the next games and I think we'll be better."
Sotto said the Bullets have plenty of weapons and he and his teammates need to match them.
"Watching the games, they have some key players and we have some tools as well," he said.
"We have to match or be better with our intensity and I believe when we help each other and the effort is there, we can beat any team.
"We need to have that confidence and intensity.
"Aron Baynes is a well known player, good NBL and NBA player, it'll be a challenge for all of us.
"It's a team game, we have a lot of players who will help."
Sotto is averaging 5.31 points and 3.69 rebounds a game this season, but said he feels his own form has been inconsistent.
"I'm figuring out my form either, I haven't had a consistent game so far, it's been up and down," he said.
"I'm still pushing every day and every practice.
"Doing extra work at the gym, and when coach puts me on that court, I'm ready and ready to win."
