Bay Area Dragons Team News
After the reinstatement of Myles Powell to their team, the Bay Area Dragons have started exhibiting their early season form. They are 2-2 with Nicholson and 6-0 with Powell, but wins are not the only reason Powell returned to the roster.
He has assumed a do-it-all role in Bay Area´s last two wins – Rain or Shine could only watch and admire as he was tearing apart their defense a week ago(finished the game with 50 points), while the NLEX Road Warriors also got a taste of his brilliance two days later in an all-around display by the former NBA player which included 36 points, 8 boards and 6 dimes.
Against the high-flying Hotshots, the entire team´s fate rests on his shoulders.
Magnolia Hotshots Team News
After suffering their only defeat of the tournament against Ginebra, the Hotshots continued grinding out wins. It seems their defensive form has hit its peak recently as Magnolia conceded 80 or less points in their last three games.
Today comes by far the most demanding task for their shutdown defense against the best offensive team in the league. It will be very intriguing to see how they handle the most explosive scorer in the competition and if they can take advantage of the big edge they should have in the paint with Nick Rakocevic.
Bay Area Dragons vs. Magnolia Hotshots Prediction
It is very risky to bet on unders in Bay Area´s games regardless of who they are playing against. We decided to avoid totals and opted for Magnolia to cover the spread because we see this game as a 50-50 contest in which the Chinese team should maybe hold a slight advantage.
