NGR vs CIV Dream 11 Prediction, Fantasy Basketball Tips, Starting Five, Team Details, 29 August

NGR vs CIV Dream 11 Prediction

Both teams have been dominating so far in this tournament. Nigeria has been missing all of their key players mostly because of League-based training camps yet their “B Team” has shown the depth that the country has in basketball, winning both of their battles convincingly. Ivory Coast’s campaign has been fuelled by Matt Costello who has been arguably the most dominating offensive player in the tournament and will be a handful for the Nigerian Forwards. Nigeria has superb shooters and attempts more threes than twos while it is the opposite case for Ivory Coast who like to shoot more from inside and mid-range. It is interesting to see how the contrasting approaches will work but if Nigeria goes cold from long range then their chances of winning will dwindle as Ivory Coast has been efficient from the field.
