Teams Preview

Sesi Franca

Sesi Franca Basquete will resume their league campaign after an impressive run in the Champions League Americas. Franca outclassed Minas in all three games to reach the semifinals of the competition. They averaged 101.4 points in the quarterfinals with two 100-point scores. They lost the Copa Super 8 semifinals but looked solid in Champions League, a bigger tournament. Meanwhile, their league clash will be against Unifacisa. Sesi Franca have gone 13-3 at home and it’s a motivating force ahead of a weekday clash. 

In the previous win, they built a 84-65 lead at halftime and stretched it to 22 points in the final period. Franca shot 53% from the floor and 39% from the three-point line. The hosts were out-rebounded 30-45 but out-assisted 26-19. Sesi Franca are the best offensive side in the league, averaging 89.2 points per game. They are allowing 75.4 points per game, fourth lowest of the league. They rank first in field goals (49%) and fourth in steals per game (8.2). 

Luis Rodriguez led the scoring in last game with 27 points, while  Lucas Dias dropped a double-double with 26 points and 10 rebounds. Corderro Bennett added 17 points and George De Paula had 11, including 7 assists. Rafael Mineiro also contributed 10 points. George De Paula could be an offensive threat in the upcoming game. The guard averaged 16.9 points in the ongoing season. We back him to score 15 or more points in the home game. 

Unifacisa

Unifacisa head into the contest with a 64-59 victory against Brasilia last weekend. They have won back-to-back games in the regular season following an overtime loss to Paulistano. The hosts outscored Brasilia 17-8 in the final quarter to clinch the encounter. Unifacisa will now take on Franca next in the road game. With four road defeats out of the last four, they are in huge pressure for the away game. They are 16-14 in the regular season and their playoff qualification is confirmed. 

Unifacisa have dropped eight out of 13 games on the road this season. Their last road win came in January against Cearense. Unifacisa are scoring 80.4 points per game and allowing 79.4 points per game. They rank fourth in the defensive rebounds (27.7) and seventh in field goals (45%). In last game, they were shooting 41% from the floor and 20% from the three-point line. They were out-rebounded by Brasilia 38-45. 

Henrique Coelho was the top scorer in the previous game for Unifacisa with 11 points, while Yohanner Sifontes also added 11 points, including six rebounds. João Almeida and Victor Leal contributed nine points each. If we look for an offensive threat in this game, we would pick Melvin Johnson. The 32-year-old guard averaged 14.1 in the ongoing season. We back him to score 12 or more points in the weekday encounter
