Telekom Bonn - Phoenix Hagen

Although Bayern is one of the top offensive teams in the league with an average of 88.1 points, they are also a strong defensive team, allowing only 74 points per game. Rostock is fighting for a spot in the playoffs, so they will not be coming to just play around. Bayern tends to have longer possessions and as a result, they have one of the lowest numbers of average shot attempts in the league - ranking 16th out of 18 teams with only 63.6 shot attempts per game. The home team's style and pace will dictate the game, so I do not expect a high-scoring game. When these teams last met on December 31, they only scored a total of 152 points. Despite being eliminated from Euroleague, Bayern is currently focusing more seriously on their Germany league matches and is giving a strong fight for the over. Rostock currently has a losing streak of 4 games, but has been playing with a high-scoring style, so we can expect a similar game in this matchup as well.

The Mazokas total looks quite promising, with two teams of decent level. And if it wasn't for the Chemnitz game in Europe, I believe this team would be in a much better position. Bamberg boasts one of the highest offense ratings in the league, so their quality of basketball is not lacking. Chemnitz, on the other hand, has numbers above the average. The home and away performances of Chemnitz are drastically different, as reflected in their results. They have defeated teams like Bourgas and Besiktas, who are playing in the Eurocup finals. Cleaning up their game to secure a spot in the playoffs is a must.

The small total looks like two really good level teams and if it wasn't for Chemnitz's game in Europe, I believe this team would be in much better positions. Bamberg with one better offensive rating in the league, so they don't lack quality basketball when attacking, while Chemnitz is scoring above the average. The home face of Chemnitz greatly differs from their away performance and the results show it. They have defeated Bourgas and Besiktas teams, who are playing in the Eurocup finale. To qualify for the playoffs, they need it like air.
