CM vs RAV Dream11: Crailsheim Merlins and RASTA Vechta will be meeting in the game for the 9th and 10th place in the final tournament of Basketball Bundesliga, at Audi Dome, in Sendling-Westpark, Munich, Germany, on Tuesday midnight (IST). With all the matches in Basketball Bundelsiga’s final tournament being played at a single venue, Audi Dome, in Munich, Germany, no team can really claim to have the home-court advantage. It’s even-steven, in that sense, before every match and that’s why every team is looking like a more suitable matchup in this phase of the competition.
——————————————————————————————————————
Both teams would have hoped to avoid this game, but they have no choice but to play, for they are out of the playoffs, after failing to win a single game, with both the teams finishing at the foot of the table in Group A and Group B respectively.
If we consider the overall performances, Merlins fared slightly better than Vechta. They averaged around 95 points per game in four games. That’s a good return, and Merlins would be smarting even more for their precarious situation if we look at some teams, already in the quarter-finals, who were more blatant in attack than them.
Vechta impressed defensively, but the attack let them down dearly. In fact, Vechta were the second-worst offensive team in the final tournament, averaging just a shade over 70 points per game.

Crailsheim Merlins vs RASTA Vechta team news:
Crailsheim Merlins: Crailsheim have missed the services of centre Jeremy Morgan who missed every game during the course of the final tournament due to an injury, and remains a doubt for this game as well.
In addition, players such as Javontae Hawkins, Vladan Lazic and Benjamin Moser can be seen as risky options.
RASTA Vechta: Josh Young can be overlooked by Dream11 players for he is not a regular fixture on the active roster, while the same can be said about Tim Insinger as well.

With the stakes not as high as both teams would have loved to fight for, and with the season gone, it’s not clear how both Merlins and Vechta will line-up for this game. It’s anybody’s game actually, but Merlins’ better offence makes them ou favourite to win this fantasy basketball game.
