Flamengo and Vasco face off this Tuesday (14) in the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB)

Already guaranteed a spot in the round of 16 of the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB), Flamengo take on Vasco this Tuesday (14) at Maracanãzinho. In search of a win, the Pride of the Nation are trying to climb the standings and could also relegate their rival.

The game, scheduled to start at 6 p.m. (Brasília time), will be broadcast on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). In addition, Coluna do Fla will post the result and highlights of the derby on its website and social media channels.

VASCO RELEGATED?

The current NBB season, featuring 20 teams, marks the debut of the relegation system in the competition, with two teams set to go down at the end of the regular season. As things stand, Vasco sit at the bottom of the table, with five wins and 31 losses so far.

After the derby against Flamengo this Tuesday (14), the São Januário side will still have one more regular-season game, against Botafogo, on Saturday (20). However, a loss to the Rubro-Negro could already mathematically confirm relegation for the Cruzmaltino team.

That is because Vasco would no longer have any chance of catching Pato Basquete, the first team outside the ‘relegation zone,’ who have seven wins and 29 losses. If the Cruzmaltino side win the derby, they would still keep their survival hopes alive, but they would depend on other results in the final round, including slip-ups by Pato and Osasco, as well as two wins in their remaining games.

AND FLAMENGO?

The biggest champion in NBB history, with seven titles, Flamengo have lost three of their last five games and currently sit fifth, with 64 points. Therefore, Sergio Hernández’s team are looking for a win in the final round to finish the regular season in a better position and head into the playoffs with confidence.
