LM vs CC Dream11: Leones de Managua will be looking to go even-steven in the series when they prepare to host Costa Caribe in the 2nd game of the best-of-three series in the 2020 Nicaragua Basketball League playoffs on Sunday morning (IST).
Leones lost the first match 79-81, in what was a game that could have ended on either side. But Leones are now 0-1behind in the series and will look to the home-court advantage to remain relevant in the series.

————————————————————————————————————-
Leones MGA: The hosts were in for a big boost before the last game as three key players returned to the matchday roster to give the whole team a huge lift.
Daniel Tenorio, Manuel McKenzie and Alfredo Borge were the players who not only returned to the team but had a good game as well. The trio should be fit for this match as well.
But Jose Perez struggled while Billy Gallardo was overlooked. In addition, players such as Henry Zelaya, Kevin Alvarado, and Mario Garcia can be ignored by Dream11 players.
Costa Caribe: The visitors were also in for a treat as Vansdell Thomas was declared fit to play the last game and he was one of the best players for the team on the court.
But Jack Hodgson Lezama and Joshua Christopher are not good options to consider, while Larel Pacheco is also spending time on squad’s fringes these days and could be overlooked here again.

There’s not much to differentiate between these two sides, with Costa Caribe and Leones de Managua finishing 4th and 5th respectively in the regular-season, separated by only one game. That’s why both the teams are more than capable of getting the better of each other on any given day, but Caribe’s win in game-1 gives them a room to express themselves better here. We back the visitors to win this match.
