The Storm claimed top spot on the ladder after picking up two points with the bye and will be looking to make sure they stay there when they host the Knights on Sunday.
With Ryan Papenhuyzen a chance to return from an ankle injury and Maroons stars Harry Grant and Xavier Coates having four days to recover from Origin, Craig Bellamy's side is shaping to be a tough opposition at home.
Coming off a tough away trip to Manly in Round 12, where they went down to the Sea Eagles 26-20, Melbourne will be desperate to get back to the winner's circle with away matches against the Warriors and Dolphins to follow.
The Knights, meanwhile, will be bitterly disappointed to drop out of the top eight after a 32-2 defeat to the Bulldogs at home on Friday.
With coach Adam O'Brien putting his side's performance down to 'a lack of creativity', halves pairing Jack Cogger and Jackson Hastings will be out to make a statement at AAMI Park on Sunday.
