The Delaware Blue Coats (17-7) look to to finish their weeklong road trip over .500 as they head to Grand Rapids to face the Gold (16-10) tonight.

The Coats dropped their first game since March 2 to the Charge on Wednesday in the second of a back-to-back in Cleveland. They took down the Charge in the first of two on Tuesday, with Jaden Springer recording a career night with 30 points and seven steals.

Delaware has already faced and defeated the Gold twice this season in back-to-back matchups in Wilmington in January. In both games, Braxton Key played an important role, but it was in the second contest where he recorded a season-best 31 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to pick up the double double.

If Key can have another performance like that tonight, it will put Delaware in a great position to return home on a high note.

Tipoff for tonight's game in Grand Rapids is set for 7:00 tonight and can be watched at gleague.nba.com.
