CAR vs ON Dream11 Prediction: Defending champions Otago Nuggets will be looking to bounce back from a defeat when they play Canterbury Rams in the New Zealand Basketball League match at Cowles Stadium on Thursday afternoon night (IST). Here is everything you want to know about CAR vs ON Dream 11 Match Prediction.
Canterbury Rams are also coming into this game off a 64-89 defeat against Wellington Saints. It was their second defeat in four games and brought the focus back on their faltering offence. Improvement is needed on both ends of the court if the Rams are to qualify for the playoffs. Otago Nuggets are currently sitting outside the playoff position, at 5th with a 5-4 return heading into this game. Being the champion, they are at least expected to be in the top four, but so far inconsistency has marred them badly.

Though with a positive return so far, Otago Nuggets have plenty of reasons to believe that their title defence is under serious threat until and unless they put in a shift in their performance. The winning mentality has taken a hit for some reason, while consistency is a big issue. Canterbury Rams are down at 7th but they can match Nuggets’ record with a win here. It will be a huge psychological factor for the Nuggets going on a level with the reigning champions. But Nuggets should get the win here.
