CAR vs MWJ Dream11 Prediction NZBL, Canterbury Rams vs Manawatu Jets

CAR vs MWJ Dream11: The New Zealand Basketball League has been going at a quick rate and we have seen some incredible battles already. It is a great entertainer as leagues like the NBA has wrapped up and Spanish Basketball League is going to be over soon. Back to the New Zealand scene, the Canterbury Rams will host the Manawatu Jets.

The Canterbury Rams have won five out of the nine games, which is a decent start. They march into this contest after Franklin Bulls defeated them 67:88 in what was a poor offensive effort. On the other hand, the Manawatu Jets have only won two out of their eight games, which is certainly a slow start. They come into this game after clinching a close 92:91 win as Zane Najdawi nabbed 31 points. Can the Jets upset another higher-ranked team again?

Host: Canterbury Rams
Visitors: Manawatu Jets
Match Timing: 18 June, @ 11:00 AM (+05:30 UTC)
Venue: Cowles Stadium

NZBL Projections, Stats & Analysis

Jets’ defense is struggling a bit

The Jets give up around 88 points a game, meaning they are among the bottom three teams in that regard. They are also the second-worst team in terms of points per game so it is not surprising that they are so much down in the rankings. Zane Najdawi, Shane Temara, and Robert Crawford are scoring between 15-20 points per game whereas John Bohannon leads in rebounds per game with around 14 a game, while he also leads the team in assists with 5 a game.

Rams haven’t built a winning streak for some team.
On the flip side, the Rams have been altering between wins and losses, and need to build a winning streak at this point. The Rams are not that effective on the rebounding end, and that has hurt their campaign for sure. Sunday Dech has been the most effective scorer, compiling around 18 points a game. Taylor Britt leads the team in assists whereas Darling and Karena have been amazing in terms of rebounds.
