RE vs JN Dream11: Having won the first game of the series, Real Esteli will look to wrap up the series when they play Brumas Jinotega in game-2 in the 2020 Nicaragua Basketball League playoffs on early Sunday morning (IST). Since this is best of three-game series, the third game won’t be needed if Esteli win this match.
Esteli won 69-76 and now find themselves only a win away from qualifying for the semi-finals. But that win should not have any bearings over how this game may pan out, for Brumas Jinotega are a good team and are capable of overturning the deficit. In fact, if the regular-season standings are anything to go by Jinotega are much better than Esteli.

Real Esteli vs Jinotega team news:
Real Esteli: The hosts welcomed back their superstar player Dalton Cacho to the matchday roster in game=1 of those series and he starred for the team, led the scoring charts. He should be fit to play in this game as well.
In addition, Adonis Garcia was overlooked for yet another game and he may not be a safe option to have on the team, while players such as Yassir Cruz, Gabriel Guerrero Navarrete and Andy Perez are also not in the good books of the coach and may not get minutes in this game.
Jinotega: Said Escoto is a doubt for the game having missed the last game due to a knock while Ariel Perez is also a game-time call. The duo will be assessed before the game. In addition, players such as Jorge Zelaya, Dixon Gutierrez, and Moises Leiva are likely to miss the game.

Jinotega lost two games in the regular season and were the favourites to win this series, but they are no the brink of being knocked out. They will have to win here to force the game-3. But Esteli are playing better at the moment and are favorite to win the game.
