RAM vs BN Dream11: El Rama Basketball Club will b looking to snap their three-game losing run when they play host to Bonanza Basketball Club in the regular season of Nicaragua Basketball League 2020 on early Saturday morning (IST). But that won’t be easy, not when Rama are on such a terrible run. Not only they are falling towards the foot of the table with each passing defeat but they are also going further away from the playoff picture. But mathematically it’s still possible for them to make the cut for the post-season and all they need is to outwit their opponents till the end of the regular season. Again, they don’t draw much confidence, for they have struggled to record back-to-back wins all season, and arrive in this game on the back of a three-game losing run. It’s clear that their current and all season’s form is an indicator that they may be fighting a losing battle for the playoffs.

For Bonanza basketball, the playoff picture is rosier, as they sit 8th on the power ranking heading into this match. But they are far from secure and have no room for complacency. The 89-82 defeat in the last match against Nandaime was a timely reminder that anything can still happen, and that Bonanza may yet fall out of top-8 if they don’t get a decent run in the league. For teams sitting below them are looking to make the cut for the playoff and are not far away from Bonanza either.
