NZBL Projections, Stats & Analysis

Rams in the middle, Saints need a boost.

Saints have the worst defense in the league and has been the only team that is just three points shy of giving 100 points on average. They are the worst rebounding team in the league with 30.2. Their offense isn’t exactly terrible, ranking third as they have compiled 83.2 Points Per Game. Offensively, Taane Samuel averages over 20 points, Tom Vodanovich averages over 13.5 rebounds, and Mike Smith averages 5 assists, all leading the team in those categories.

On the flip side, the Rams have averaged fewer points than the Saints, with 79.6. But their defense has been much better than the Saints, conceding only around 80 PPG. The main reason for their losses has thus been their wayward offense and their tendency to play way too many close games. For the Rams, Sunday Dech leads the scoring with 17.3 points per game, whereas Matur Maker leads the rebounds with 8.3 and Taylor Britt leads the assists category with 5.3.
