If at Christmas he traveled to play on the 26th at the Taliercio against Venice, the New Year remains working but at least Dinamo play at home. Germani Brescia arrives at the PalaSerradimigni on Monday 2 January. It's a vital race in the increasingly uphill run-up to the Italian Cup Final 8.

The Sassari team must win to continue hoping to capture eighth place, now held by Brescia. In case of defeat goodbye participation in the Italian Cup.

Last season's argument isn't valid when 14 points were enough to win the finish on a par with three other teams, because then the white and blue team had the advantage of victories over Venice and Reggio Emilia, with a defeat against Naples by just one point. Instead in this championship, losing against Brescia would have four unfavorable direct clashes, because Venice, Varese and Pesaro must be added.

Against the former Marco Spissu's Reyer, Dinamo showed that they are now a team, but with the squad not long enough to tolerate a couple of absences. Gentile should finally return, while the Jones forward is recovering from the intestinal problems that have debilitated him. Treier will still be missing, but just one absence is almost a luxury in a season studded with injuries and ailments.
