Pinheiros Sky head into the contest with a 81-63 victory against Vasco da Gama. This win came after a surprising loss to Flamengo last week. EC Pinheiros are 27-6 in the regular season and 15-1 at home. The league leaders will play two straight home games with the first assignment against Minas, who knocked them out in Copa Super 8. However, the Sky defeated Minas in the only regular season game.
The Sky dropped only one home game this season. Meanwhile, this assignment would be a tough one. Pinheiros would aim for a top finish to get a weaker opponent in the playoffs and home advantage. They shot 48% from the floor and 35% from the three-point line. They won the rebounding battle 46-35 and had the game-high lead of 21 points. Pinheiros averaged 85.9 points per game and allowed 74.1 points per game. They are seventh in the field goals percentage (45.2%) and sixth in three-point shooting (33.3%).
Only two players reached double figures for Pinheiros. David Sloan scored 13 points, while Maciel contributed 10 points and six rebounds. If we look for an offensive threat in the upcoming game, Sloan’s name comes first. The 26-year-old averaged 15.8 points in the regular season. We back him to score 15 or more points in the road game against Minas.
Minas enter the contest with a 78-66 victory against Osasco. It was their third straight victory in the league. They looked solid after an exit in Champions League Americas. The visitors will be in action against the league leaders in the weekday encounter. During their trophy run at Copa Super 8, Minas beat Pinheiros. However, they dropped the regular season game against the leaders. It would be a great battle between two sides.
With seven more games to go, Minas eye a better playoff seed. The visitors are averaging 86.6 points per game and allowing 81.5 points per game. In the previous game, they shot 43% from the floor and 43% from the three-point line. Minas are averaging 3.1 blocks per game and 7.5 steals per game.
