Magnolia Hotshots vs TNT Tropang Giga Prediction & Betting Tips - PBA, Philippine Cup

 by Joseph King | in Basketball Predictions

The PBA Philippine Cup semifinals continues between the Magnolia Hotshots and TNT Tropang Giga at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Manila in this best of seven series. A crucial game four awaits with TNT looking to take a 3-1 series lead and put themselves in a dominant position to close the series out. Both teams finished the regular season with an 8-3 record, with TNT needing just one game to get past Converge in the quarterfinals while Magnolia were taken to three games by NLEX. After a double digit win in game one, the next two games of this series saw two very hard fought encounters decided by a total of only five points. With this looking to be the most competitive matchup of the playoffs so far, another dramatic clash is likely on the cards here.
The spread for this game opens with TNT as -3 point favorites. If you’d rather back them to win straight up without the handicap you can get the favorites at odds of 1.55 while the underdogs come in at a price of 2.30 to win the game. Finally, the total sits at 185.5 points. Given the rather significant odds difference between backing TNT to win and laying the -3 points, at these prices you’ll be getting better value in taking them to cover the spread.

Magnolia Hotshots - TNT Tropang Giga: Form Analysis

TNT Tropang Giga have had the edge over Magnolia so far this season, winning three of the four matchups. Where the Hotshots fall short of their opponents is on pure scoring potential, as the two teams have comparable level defenses. Magnolia has the PBA’s best defense in terms of points allowed at only 86 per game while TNT ranks third-best with 89.1 points per game. The main difference is TNT’s third-highest scoring offense, powered by backcourt duo of Williams and Pogoy, who each average more points per game than the Hotshots leading scorer Sangalang at 15.5 points.

Magnolia Hotshots & TNT Tropang Giga Squad Analysis

In Mike Williams and Roger Ray Pogoy, TNT possess arguably the best scoring backcourt in the PBA. Pogoy finished the season as the league’s fifth-highest scorer at 17.7 points per game meaning even if the opposition prioritizes shutting down Mike Williams, Pogoy will likely have a favorable matchup that he can take advantage of. Also in the mix is veteran point guard Jayson Castro who sets up his teammates well with his team high 4.6 assists while also chipping in 12.4 points per game. TNT wins a lot of their games thanks to this trio and they should be able to continue the trend against the Hoshots in game four.

Magnolia Hotshots - TNT Tropang Giga Key Points

  1. Guard Jayson Castro hit the game winning basket with three seconds left in game three for a 93-92 TNT win after Magnolia bounced back with a 92-88 win in game two.
  2. TNT’s Mike Williams is the PBA Philippine Cup leading scorer, averaging 22.5 points per game.
  3. TNT are the third-highest scoring team in the Philippine Cup, averaging 95.1 points per game.
  4. Magnolia are the seventh-highest scoring team with an average of 91 points per game.
  5. These two teams have met four times in total this season including the playoffs, with TNT leading 3-1.

Our Magnolia Hotshots vs TNT Tropang Giga Prediction

We’re going to back TNT Tropang Giga to get the win and cover the -3 point spread as our pick for this one. As we’ve seen so often in the PBA, championships are often decided by the star power a team is able to put on the court. In Mike Williams, TNT has a bonafide superstar on their hands. The 30-year-old Filipino-American has been lethal this season, with his three point threat a major reason for his effectiveness. Williams leads the PBA with 4.3 threes a game while shooting an efficient 41%. Magnolia will have a tough time slowing down the talented shooting guard, who should be able to do enough to lead his team to a commanding 3-1 series lead.
