LM vs TP Dream11: Leones de Managua Basketball Club will be looking to record back-to-back wins when they entertain Tipitapa Basketball Club in the regular season of 2020 Nicaragua Basketball League on Friday morning (IST).
——————————————————————————————————————
Managua won 100-73 in the last game against Bonanza Basketball Club and amends for their 62-67 home defeat against Costa Caribe before the last match. That defeat against the table-topper Caribe was a timely reminder that there is a big room for improvement for Managua if they are to challenge for the ultimate thing this season. But Managua should not be put off by that negative result, as they are a good team and are one of the contenders for the title. With 11-3 return on the season, they are the fifth-best team in the league coming into this game and can move up the table with a win in this match.
——————————————————————————————————————
Tipitapa Basketball Club are also in a must-win situation. In fact, their position on the table warrants a better run from them at this stage if they are to qualify for the playoffs. They are feeling down at 8th on the power rankings coming into this match, but have a positive return on the season with 9 wins and 5 defeats from 14 rounds.

It will be an understatement to say that this is an important game for both these two teams, for at this stage, when the season is so deep, a defeat could derail the campaign and can prove catastrophic in either team’s pursuit of intended targets. Leones de Managua are one of those teams who are looking to win the ultimate thing, and that’s why this is an important match for them, for a win will take them within two games of the spot.
For the same reasons, Tipitapa Basketball Club will be going into this game with an intent to win the game as a win will see them within one-game Managua.
But Managua are a better team, and at home, they are a different animal. So backing the hosts to win this match looks a good call in this Fantasy Basketball prediction.
