On a five game winning spree right before the 2019-29 instalment of the Germany BBL was brought to a halt, Crailsheim Merlins managed to wrap up their league stage encounters by ending up as high as 3rd place. The position has seen them be given a favourable set of fixtures when they side step out to the court for the first time after March.
Throwing open the newly worked format and schedule of the league, the side will be taking on BG Gottingen for the first encounter of the league in the final stage. It a fixture which will have people globally glued to it to get a closer insight into what basketball in the midst of Coronavirus will look like.
The restart of the league has been meticulously laid down to avoid any cases of Coronavirus with each player set to be instilled with chips which will track their movement and other factors during a game. Along with it, no side is allowed more than 22 members for each game with testing at regular intervals set to be carried out amongst the players.
Probable Winner
While Merlins are undoubtedly the outright favourites for today’s encounter, Gottingen can pose a real threat to them. With three wins in a row, one including a 101-95 win over Hamburg in their last encounter, Gottingen pulled off an incredible recovery to end in 9th place and seal their berth in this round of the league.
While that form does allude towards Gottingen posing a stern challenge, the side will fail to come out of this one unscatahed. Merlins is way too exuberant an attacking unit, a side which will be able to script its way a sixth successive win today.

BGG Vs CM Dream11 Picks
Point Guard
Not only did Dwayne Russell top scone for Merlins the last time around but the player came up with the most assists as well at 12. The point guard pulled off a staggering double-double for the team, one which was a testament to the pulsating brand of basketball attributes he’s embedded with.
Shooting Guard
And someone who allowed him to express himself freely in that tie was Sebastian Herrera who came up with a neat 15 points of his own as well to see us rope in the duo from Merlins for this one. The partnership finds company in the services of Maurice Stuckey, someone more than capable of making the most of his shootarounds for the side.
Elsewhere, Gottingen will be represented by the indomitable Elias Lasisi whose 19 points against Hamburg ended up making the difference in his side crossing the finishing line in the end.
Small Forward
The 11 points for him in the same time will see Mihajlo Andric give company to Sebastian for the imminent fixture. The two make for a lethal partnership, one capable of giving jitters to Merlins owing to the alleyoops and reverse scoops they are capable of executing at crucial junctures.
Power Forward
The 6 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds for Fabian Bleck in his previous scrimmage will see us make him the power forward. He’s someone capable of sending down free throws with precision, a skill set which comes to the fore given his ability to turnover possession and win fouls.
Centre
15 points for Jeremny Morgan meant the Merlins centre was always within our eyesight even before we had begun crafting our Dream 11 side. Elsewhere, the home side will be represented by the one name as well with us venturing in Dennis Kramer after his all-round exemplary showing of 10 points and 6 rebounds.
Star Player
His double-double the last time around means Russell will be our star player for the tie while Morgan moves in as the vice-captain.
