YAFFA VS HAIFA

If any team can give Haifa a run for their money, its Yaffa. Haifa is a top tripod team, 83% of their offensive production comes from 3 guys Anas/Abdelhadi/Elijah. Moosa and Co. have their work cut out for them. They need to win the rebounding, dampen Haifa's tripod, and implement their signature hustle play.

BEIT JALA VS RAMLA

The undefeated versus team Mana! Mana should be back this game, one of MBs top 2 way players. Ramla is actually very solid on paper, they have all the right contributors. They definitely can hand Beit Jala's first L of the season. Beit Jala is another tripod team with 3 players scoring 70% of the points (Shahzaib + Yousuf bros). Ramla will need to limit their second chances and win the rebounding. I am going to have to go with Mana and his Umrah Glow!

SABRA VS LOD

#1 Defensive team vs #1 Offensive team! It is clear from their respective records, defense wins games. However Lod is packed with shooters from top to bottom, Captain Deep going to have to bring that triple double energy from last game to stand a chance. Sabra will win rebounding just based on size, capitalize on second chances, and size mismatch. I don't really see anyone on Lod's roster parrying Sabra's double edged sword Ex-Kai-libur aka Kai Boom AKA Kirby.

JERUSALEM VS QIBYA

These two match up against each other nicely. Abbassi bros vs Sammak/Doumani Bros. I have to give the edge to Jerusalem, as they have been playing longer together and have a more fixed identity. Wouldn't be surprised if its close.

YAZUR VS EL BIREH

When El-bireh saw Yazur on the schedule, they were foaming at the mouth. Not a lot to say here, El-bireh will conquer Yazur. They move the ball methodically and shoot better.

JENIN VS AREEHA

Areeha coming off a tough loss are looking to bounce back. While they do match up pretty well with Jenin. I give the edge to Areeha as they have a higher chemistry. Let's face it Jenin is not the same without Captain Suhaib.

NABLUS VS BETHLEHEM

Nablus have proved they can win some of the time, and actually have great pieces to get the DUB on any given night. Bethlehem has the edge with chemistry. I think this game will be closer than what most people will think. I believe with a full squad Nablus can come away with the W. However erring on the side of chemistry, I will predict Bethlehem.

GAZA VS ISDUD

Ali needs to set precedent early in the game and slash/score or slash/pass to his many capable teammates namely sharpshooters Mujtaba + Andrew. For Gaza to the win they need to control rebounding. Isdud can def outrun Gaza on the full court. If Gaza can slow the game down they can take the W, if Isdud can speed the game up they will take the W.
