NGR vs GNA Dream11 Prediction FIBA Men’s Qualifiers Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Nigeria vs Guinea

NGR vs GNA Dream11: FIBA Men’s Qualifiers are in full flow and we have also seen the African continent heat up with the competitiveness on display. In the African scene, there are some obvious favorites and one of them is Nigeria, which is going to take an underdog in the form of Guinea.

Nigeria is by far one of the favorites to qualify for the World Cup but they are not fielding their best roster at all, while NBA talent like Metu and Okogie are present, there is no Gabe Vincent. They paid the price during their 66-78 loss against Cote d’Ivoire.

On the other hand, Guinea comes into the game after a terrible offensive performance, losing48-65 against Cape Verde as Abdoulaye Sy collected just 16 points.

NGR vs GNA Dream11 FIBA Men’s Qualifiers Projections, Stats & Analysis

Nigeria play two in two nights

Nigeria had a terrible performance against Cote d’Ivoire, giving up 28 points in the second quarter. Nigeria has been the top African basketball nation for decades but this time around, their lineup seems to lack steam. However, despite that, they will be fancied to make it to the next round. Metu and Okogie did score 20 or so but the efficiency was missing as Nigeria shot just 21% from the three-point line.

Guinea has been struggling to keep it up against the elite African squads for some time now and in the last game, they couldn’t even reach 50, which is surely concerning. They shot around 28% in the last game and that is a huge concern for the team that committed just 7 turnovers but wouldn’t just get a bucket in. Can they take advantage of a Nigerian team that is playing back-to-back games?

Guard Josh is an exceptional defender who showed his offensive and rebounding prowess in the previous game. I believe he will be in 16+ points, 6-9 rebounds, and 1-4 steals range. He can be selected as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 Prediction scenario.

Abdoulaye Sy(GNA)

Points: 07
Rebounds: 01
