Trier was very concetrated on 3 games homestand but lost both 2 games to Ludwigsburg and Artland. But both games were really close and those -24 against Ludwigsburg should be considered under another angle. Trier had +7 in the middle of 3rd quarter but than suddenly stopped playing. For this very important game vs. direct competitor Trier expects to have full gym and also this game will be broadcasted by TV so motivation should be huge. Trier signed new SG Marshall Philipp and looks like team management wants to do all to stay in this league.

Giessen lost all 10 games away and 9 of those losses were by 10+ points. For today's game they have R.Roesller out with injury. It is very important player for them, I would say he is a leader and "go-to" man. With so important missing I can't see Giessen to win this game and more of that I expect confident Trier win by more than 10 points.

Pick: Trier (-4.5) @ 1.909 5/10 Pinnacle
