JN vs RE Dream11: Two high-quality teams will go head-to-head against each other in the 2020 Nicaragua Basketball League post-season as Brumas Jinotega entertain Real Esteli in the first game of the quarterfinals on early Thursday morning (IST).
Jinotega are one of the favourites to lift the ultimate things but they know they will give to bring their A-game to the fore as the opponent are also aiming for the same thing, and what makes this clash special is the fact that both the teams are capable of going all the way.
Jinotega beat Boaco Basketball 2-0 in the last round. That was an expected return for the second-best team in the league, while Esteli also faced no problems on seeing out the challenge from Carazo beating them in two straight games.

Jinotega vs Real Esteli team news:
Jinotega: The hosts are one of the few teams in the league at the moment who are almost at full strength with no player on the injury list these days. But Ariel Perez, however, is a doubt for this game due to a knock and will have to prove his match fitness ahead of the game, while Jorge Zelaya is not getting enough minutes these days and can be overlooked by Dream11 players.
Real Esteli: The visitors, meanwhile, are sweating over the fitness of Dalton Cacho, who sat out the last game due to a knock and will be a game-time call here. Adonis Garcia is also being considered as a game-time call ahead of this game.
In addition, Yassir Cruz and Andy Perez are also questionable and will be assessed before the game, while Gabriel Guerrero Navarrete is not a safe option from this team.
