TNM vs NG Dream11 Match Prediction

The New Zealand Basketball league is back and the first match that is going to take place will be between Taranaki Mountainairs and Nelson Giants.

Both the teams had an underwhelming last season and will look to improve on the same this season. The teams will be on the lookout for some early momentum in this game and set the tone for the season.

Nelson Giants finished 6th last season which was an underwhelming result for them although they have a squad which is capable of upstaging anyone on their day and the opposition they face this week is a weak one and they should be able to get the better of them.

Taranaki Mountainairs won only 3 games in the last season and will need to up their game if they were to have any chance of qualification into the playoffs at the end of the season. They need to find their game this season and Nelson Giants are an uphill task for them.
