After an inspiring debut win over Meralco, the Gian Risers stumbled in back-to-back outings, the most recent of which is a 119-127 defeat to Magnolia.
Munzon shone despite the loss, producing 28 points, six assists, three steals, two rebounds and a block.
The status of star forward Calvin Abueva remains uncertain after he sat out against the Hotshots due to a hamstring injury, leaving a huge void in Titan Ultra's frontcourt.

The squad will be tested against a red-hot TNT squad coming off a 110-103 win over Converge in Vigan.
To pull off an upset, the Giant Risers will need another explosive performance from Munzon and more consistent support from the rest of the Giant Risers.
