Osasco Basquete are having a disappointing season so far in the Brazil NBB 2025-26. They suffered a 66-78 loss to Minas in their most recent game. It was their back-to-back loss following a breakthrough victory against Fortaleza which snapped a season-high 18-game losing skid in the regular season. The hosts fell to 5-29 in the league. They are still in the relegation zone. They would be in action for the weekday game against Unifacisa.
Osasco lost the rebounding battle 40-45. They were shooting 33% from the floor and 27% from the three-point line. The visitors were trailing by only four points after three quarters but Cearense went on a 12-0 run to open the final quarter. Osasco averaged 75.8 points per game and allowed 87.8 points per game. They previously lost to Unifacisa in the only regular season game. With four more games to go, Osasco found themselves in a tricky situation.
Three players scored in double figures for Osasco. Eddy was the top performer with 22 points and six rebounds. Alejandro Grant chipped in with 11 points, while Malachias contributed 10 points. If we find out the offensive threat on this side, Anthony Harris is the right name if he plays. He missed the previous game. The 28-year-old averaged 18.9 points in the ongoing season. We back him to score 15 or more points in this game.
Unifacisa head into the matchup with a narrow 81-83 loss against Pinheiros on Wednesday. They won consecutive home games but ended up as a losing side in three straight road games. Unifacisa dropped their seventh consecutive road game in the regular season. Their last road victory came two months back. They are 16-17 in the regular season. Meanwhile, their playoff qualification is confirmed but seeding will be affected.

They lost the rebounding battle 34-35. The visitors have previously defeated Osasco so they would fancy their chances on Thursday night.
JD Oliveira was the leading scorer with 15 points and six rebounds. Melvin Johnson went for 13 points, while Yohanner Sifontes added 12 points and nine rebounds. Victor Leal added 11 points and five rebounds. Kendall Anothony also contributed ten points. If we pick out an offensive threat in this game, we would pick Melvin Johnson.
