Before we jump in, as always, let's keep our hearts and duas with the people of Palestine and all those across the Ummah facing hardship. May Allah grant them strength, victory, and relief.

Let’s get into some predictions !!

🔥 TULKAREM vs LOD

Week 7 kicks off with two teams standing at a crossroads — and neither can afford to blink.

Tulkarem this was supposed to be your Championship season. On paper, with Chardley and Yusef patrolling the frontcourt, you had the potential to dominate the paint and overwhelm opponents with sheer size and physicality. But here we are, six weeks in, and this team still hasn’t figured out how to play defense. The chemistry between their bigs hasn’t clicked, and if they keep trading buckets without stops they’re not going anywhere in the postseason.

LOD, meanwhile, has been living in chaos. Injuries, absences, inconsistency. Amer and Shahab two vital pieces have only played one game all season. If they don’t suit up this week, they might not even be playoff-eligible. But their return raises another question: will it energize this squad? Or will it disrupt the rhythm of Ahmet, a ball-dominant leader who’s been carrying the load solo?

This one will come down to the X factors and who wants it more. If Tulkarem shows up on defense it will be an easy win for them.

🔥 Prediction: Tulkarem by 6 in a dogfight.

💥 HAIFA vs JENIN

There’s no debate anymore — Haifa is HIM.

The most complete team in the league. Fresh off a commanding win over #2 Jerusalem, they’ve locked up the top seed and are riding high. Offense? Clinical. Defense? Smothering. With the addition of Nabeel, this already elite squad just added another weapon and honestly, it’s starting to feel unfair.

On the other side, Jenin is scrappy, but this matchup looks like a mismatch from the opening tip. They don’t have the size, they don’t have the depth, and against a team like Haifa… that’s a death sentence.

Unless Haifa takes their foot off the gas (and they won’t), this one could get ugly.

🔥 Prediction: Haifa by 15 — and it could be more.

🚨 JERUSALEM vs NABLUS

This might be the most emotional game of the week.

Jerusalem nearly did the unthinkable — they pushed Haifa to the brink in a battle that showed just how dangerous this team is when they’re locked in. Ouday is leading with fire, and Smitty? He’s coming off his best game of the season and might just be the best zone-breaker in the league right now. If you leave him open, it’s over.

Nablus, though, are still looking for answers. Time is running out. This was a team with hope, potential, and serious weapons but they just haven’t been able to click. No identity. No rhythm. And if they don’t figure it out this week they’re done.

🔥 Prediction: Jerusalem by 15 — statement game.
