Corinthians host Caxias as NBB first round nears its end

By Vinícios Cotrim | Central do Timão Editorial Team

Even with all other sports on break, Corinthians Basketball remains active in pursuit of a spot in the Super 8 Cup of the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB). On the afternoon of this Saturday (27th), Timão hosts Caxias for the 18th round of the competition. The game tips off at the Wlamir Marques Gymnasium, starting at 4 PM (Brasília time).

The team led by Jece Leite is in sixth place and has only two more games to secure participation in the Super 8, a tournament featuring the top eight teams of the NBB at the end of the first half. For this, they will face the 11th placed team in the current standings, which has nine wins and eight losses.

Probable lineup

To take advantage of the home factor and come out victorious in this important match, Jece Leite's staff is likely to use the same team that has been starting since the beginning of the season. Thus, the starting five should be composed of Elinho, Elyjah Clark, Davaunta Thomas, Victão, and Lucas Cauê (Gabriel Novaes).

Broadcast

The only way to watch the match is by attending the Wlamir Marques Gymnasium, with tickets available on the Fiel Torcedor website. Another way to follow the game is through the NBB's real-time updates.

Next commitment

To close the first half of the competition, Corinthians faces União Corinthians on December 29th, again at Parque São Jorge. The match will take place starting at 8 PM.
