SL vs NMK Dream11 Match Prediction: It’s a matchup between the two teams struggling for form and consistency as Shanxi Loongs prepare to host Nanjing Monkey Kings in the second phase of the Chinese Basketball League 2019-20 regular season on Wednesday morning (IST).
SL vs NMK Dream 11 Prediction:
Shanxi Loongs must be hard-pressed to win this game, after all, they dropped the last three matches. They have slipped down to 10th on the table as a result, with a 22-18 return on the season from 40 rounds. The only positive for them is that they are already through to the playoffs, so the defeats do cost them less, but the team management will be under no illusion that the current run has to stop, for it could hinder them dearly in the playoffs.
Nanjing Monkey Kings are also in a similar position as they lost five games in the last six rounds. But like Loongs, Kings have no worries regarding the playoffs, as they have already booked a spot in the post-season. But they can’t go into the postseason on the back of a bad run. And there is a small matter of finishing higher up the table which could help them avoid big teams in the early rounds. As things stand, Kings are sitting at 14th on the table having won 16 times in 41 rounds, losing 25 matches.

Both teams are struggling, and lack substance at the moment. Shanxi Loongs lost the last three games, while Nanjing Monkey Kings have won just once in the last six rounds. But Loongs are slightly better and sit above Kings on the points table as well. Backing Loongs to win this game seems a good call.
