Alba Berlin - Bayern

Battle of the two underdogs. This year, Braunschweig, who still does not have a single victory, is currently on a 5-game losing streak, with most of the losses being by significant margins. Heidelberg, who were eliminated from European basketball, have shown improvement in their local league, with 2 wins against strong teams. Although Heidelberg has some injury problems, their team dynamic and play style in Germany has changed, evidenced by their 20 home wins in December. As a result, in this match they appear to be clear favorites.
