It is expected that Bourg (4-0) can extend its winning run to five games when it takes on Lietkabelis (0-4), which is still looking for its first victory for the season. Bourg’s defense has been very effective, as they have only allowed 70.5 points per game and have forced 18.3 turnovers a night, which is the most in the league. To counter the defensive pressure that Bourg is applying, Lietkabelis will probably likely depend on their big man Marko Pecarski, who has averaged 12.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in the previous two games.
A young guard for Bourg named Xavier Castaneda will be an important player since he has scored in double figures in every game and has averaged 3.2 assists per game. Lietkabelis has had a difficult time, but he has had memorable streaks, such as Vytenis Lipkevicius’s string of consecutive games in which he made free throws and stole the ball. Despite this, Bourg should be able to earn another victory because of Castaneda’s leadership and the defensive and attacking ability of the team.
Best Chance
Because Bourg is in such good shape and Lietkabelis is having difficulty finding victories, the best bet is on Bourg to come out on top. Furthermore, considering both sides’ attacking potential, it is likely that the total number of points will exceed 155.5.
Concluding Predictions
Bourg emerges victorious, earning a total of more than 155.5 points.
