On Thursday night, Corinthians returns to the court to face Minas in the second game of the series valid for the quarterfinals of the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB). The game will take place at 8 p.m. at Ginásio Wlamir Marques.

As they had a weaker campaign in the qualifying stage, Corinthians will still have one more game at Parque São Jorge, scheduled for next Saturday. If the series remains tied, the decisive games will be played in Belo Horizonte, with Minas holding home-court advantage.

Probable Corinthians lineup

Even after being disqualified in the first game due to two technical fouls, Davaunta Thomas is cleared to play and should feature normally this Thursday. Therefore, the tendency is for Corinthians to start the game with Davaunta Thomas, Victão, Elyjah Clark, Lucas Cauê, and Elinho.

Broadcast

Fans will be able to watch the game for free on Xsports, on free-to-air television, and also on the official NBB Caixa channel on YouTube.

After the final whistle, Central do Timão will publish full coverage with the main events and plays from the game.
