TPA vs TB Dream11: It’s a top-of-the-table clash as the second-placed Taoyuan Pauian Archiland play hosts to league leaders Taiwan Beer in Super League Basketball, Taiwan on Sunday (IST). Four games separate both these teams. At this stage, this is a big gap, but the form of either team and the fact that this is a direct matchup between them make this game very important, and which could prove to be a catalyst in shaping up the table. The reason being a win for Pauian will take them within three games of the top spot, and on current form, they can count themselves in, in that regard. As things stand, Pauian are second on the table with 16-11 return on the season, but if he current form is the measuring stick, Taoyuan Pauian Archiland are the best team in the league as they have won the last five matches.
Leaders Taiwan Beer, on the other hand, seems to be stuttering, for they lost the last two games, and sit only four games adrift of their next opponent. They know this is a game with more than normal stakes, as a win for them will extend their lead at the top to five games, while a defeat will leave them with only three games advantage.

Taoyuan Pauian Archiland vs Taiwan Beer team news:
Taoyuan Pauian Archiland: Full roster is available for the hosts, but Chun-Yen Peng will be assessed before the game following an injury last week. Also, it will be up to the coach who he prefers to play here but we can assume the name of the players likely to get significant minutes and the players who may not be involved.
Big guns such as Charles Garcia, Edvinas Seskus and Guan-Quan Chen, to name a few, will be clocking the most minutes, while the likes of Li-Huang Wen, Yen-Tsung Shih and Chia-Kang Li may be the last options from the bench.
Taiwan Beer: For Beer, either Po-Hsun Chou or Shih-En Fan will be in the starting five, but either way, both the players are expected to get more than 20 minutes on the court.
While in terms of rotation, Hao-Ji, Hung-Han Huang and You-Che Chien are the last chance for the coach of Taiwan Beer. The trio is expected to get less than 10 minutes of action in this game.

As mentioned above, Taoyuan Pauian Archiland are on a roll at the moment. They are the best team in the league if the last five games are taken into consideration. They will also look at their recent matchup against the current league leaders which they won 94-75. That win was almost perfect as Pauian battered Beer on both ends of the court. Can they repeat that sort of performance for the second straight game against the league’s best team?
We doubt so, for Taiwan Beer are too good to repeat the same mistake again, and we back them to end their current rut with a statement win in this game.
