Bayreuth had an inconsistent form lately, but they always look good at home. They only lost two championship games there, but against the best teams, Ulm and Brose. They're complete, they're motivated to keep the fourth place that means the home floor advantage in the playoff. They're two steps ahead now compared to the teams behind them, but their schedule is tough (road games against Oldenburg and Wurzburg), and home games against Giessen and Bayern. They played Frankfurt twice this season, winning 75-61 in the pre-season, and 72-56 in the championship, with both those games played in Frankfurt.
The Skyliners won't be able to use their best scorer today, Shields (14 points per game) because he's been lent to Trent for the rest of the season. Their starting point guard Vaughn (10-9 points and 3.8 assists) is also out, and the wing Huff (10.7 points) is questionable. He had the flue these last few days and hasn't practiced, so even if he plays, who knows what he'll look like. It's clear that nobody in Frankfurt even believes anymore that they can get to the playoff, so the substitute players will get their chance today. In circumstances like those, I really doubt they can match a better and more motivated host.
