A trio trying to escape, Milan, Virtus Bologna and Tortona, all the others still uncertain about the future. Six formations are included from 14 to 16 points. It is easy to predict that access to the Scudetto playoffs will be a matter of separate classification, where the results of the direct clashes will affect the teams arriving on equal merit.
Dinamo is ahead of Pesaro: one victory each but a balance of +30. Sunday is engaged in Trento against a formation beaten at the PalaSerradimigni 81-76. If he wins he goes 2-0 which becomes very heavy, also because he engages the Trentino team and is fully among the top eight. If he loses, he must do so with a difference of less than 5 points.
After that, a new away match, in Brescia, which they won in Sassari by two points after extra time. Here the victory is essential to bring a draw. And clearly you have to win with a gap of at least 3 points.
So the other direct competitors on which to recover are Venice (-10 at the PalaTaliercio) and Trieste (-6) who will have to play at the PalaSerradimigni. At least one must be won, better if both, also because at that point the Scudetto playoffs would be mortgaged.
