FKB vs WST Dream11 Prediction NZBL Live Franklin Bulls vs Wellington Saints

FKB vs WST Dream11: We are in a phase where most of the major men’s basketball leagues are wrapping up, whereas, on the other hand, some under-the-radar leagues like New Zealand’s Basketball League, Philippine Cup, and the Dominican Republic Basketball league are still in their initial ways. Coming back to the New Zealand Basketball League, in this game, the Franklin Bulls will host the Wellington Saints.

The Franklin Bulls have won half of their eight games and so far, they are yet to attain the depth to put on a long winning streak. However, the two-game winning streak surely has given the team some confidence. In the last game, the Bulls defeated the Rams 88:67 as Corey Webster clinched a 24 points effort. On the other hand, Wellington Saints have struggled so far with three wins and six losses. They have played much better lately but lost to the Giants 94:97 despite a 30 points night by Tom Vodanovich.

NZBL Projections, Stats & Analysis

Saints much-better

Wellington has built a solid offensive unit and repeatedly goes past 90 courtesy of their offensive depth. The trouble is that their defense has been below-par and that is why their record has been so poor. Xavier Cooks has been a big factor offensively whereas Mike Smith has been dishing a bunch of dimes. Tom Vodanovich has been getting it done as an all-around presence whereas Tanee Samuel has been a decent offensive option as well. However, it is the defensive end that needs to come through.

Bulls are on the rise
The Bulls have done a great job on the defensive end recently. They have limited their last two opponents to the 60s and it is clear, that the defensive side has been their priority lately. Corey Webster has been a great acquisition, leading the team in both scoring and assists. Leon Henry is the number one rebounder for the team and has been clasping 10+ regularly. Jayden Bezzant has been getting it done on the offensive end but the offensive options for the Bulls are limited.
