Jeddah/
Damascus - Damascus gets the W
Timbuktu/Dhaka - Won’t predict
Baghdad/
Tehran - Tehran got too many vets and too much defense
Lagos /
Jakarta - Jakarta will have their defense ready and we already know Muj and Yusuf. But how about Shareef quietly putting together a strong season on both ends of the floor - he’ll have a tough assignment this game
Suba / Mecca - Mecca really missing Malik and Obada right about now. If they can run with Suba it’ll be a close one, but going with Suba here.
Sarajevo/
Islamabad - Vintage Bilal last week against Amman. Literally carried Islamabad on his back for the W. It was clear no one on the court wanted it more than him and he did whatever it took…knocked down 3s, battled Mana on the glass, pushed the tempo, you got it. He needs more help, but in terms of vs Sarajevo, Islamabad should be fine.
Kazan /
Beirut - One thing this game won’t lack is intensity. Yes on paper, Patrick and Mark look more likely to lead Kazan to the win, but Nick & Hart have been locked in last couple games and Mingo will get his. Beirut gets the bragging rights this time.
Sana’a/
Lahore - Defenses are loading up on AMP and Netti. AR did good job assembling this team - Sana’a has shooters so if they get the right ball movement and take good shots, they’ll put themselves in a position to win. Lahore also has superstars in Jon step back DeJesus and Herb, but the difference here is they do a better job distributing the rock as a team. For that reason, I’m going with them for the W.
Mombasa/
Cordoba - One thing I love about Mombasa is they take great shots. They’ll go far this year but I think the winning streak comes to an end here. Cordoba matches up really well against Mombasa and is feeling good after knocking off Tehran.
Granada/Amman - Game time is 12:00pm = Granada gets the win. Agree with Bilal - No doubt Granada definitely has the talent, but they’re feeling the loss of OmarQ - specifically his drive and kicks. Amman looked demoralized after losing to an Islamabad team they had on the ropes. Too tough to call, but when I look at matchups I say Anwar hang time Ahmad carries Granada for the W.
