NG vs CAR Dream11 Match Prediction, New Zealand Basketball League: It’s a matchup between two teams currently struggling to remain relevant in the season as second from bottom Nelson Giants prepare to meet the current bottom-dweller Canterbury Rams in the 2020 regular season of New Zealand Basketball League on Saturday morning (IST).
Nelson Giants showed signs of improvement early in the season when they clocked three wins in the first six games. But that proved to a false indicator as the team came crashing down to earth following four straight defeats. And although the season is still new, the team should be under the impression that more negative results will pull them further away from the playoff race. Giants have won just three times in 10 league games.
Canterbury Rams are also swimming in the same waters, as they continue to prop up the table. Rams’ current position looks surreal to some extent as they won the first two games, and looked a good deal for the playoffs. Those two wins remain their only positive results so far this season. And that makes their current run of 8 straight defeats the worst in the league.
