Key Players to Watch
Captain Gabe Norwood has all but guided his Elasto Painters side through to the knockout rounds and has been instrumental in doing so. The Aces rely heavily on import LaDonte Henton to get them over the line. Coupled with captain Tony de la Cruz, it is somewhat a surprise the former nine-time winners are struggling to qualify.
Both Teams Recent Form
Five defeats from their opening five Cup matches saw the Aces Governors Cup betting odds take a serious dent. However, a run of three victories in a row gave some belief to the side despite losing to Meralco Bolts last time out. Rain or Shine come into the game with four wins in their last six. However, like their opponents, also suffered defeat last time out only this time to Barangay.
Rain or Shine Elasto Painters vs Alaska Aces Head-to-Head
Twice the two sides have met each other in 2017 and remarkably twice it is the Aces who have come out on top. The first was a tight 94 points to 89 victory in February’s Philippine Cup. The second was another close encounter in an Alaska 105 to 102 win during Aprils Commissioners Cup.
Rain or Shine Elasto Painters vs Alaska Aces Predictions and Betting Tips
Alaska Aces will be well aware that defeat is not an option if they are to harbour any hopes of progression. Rain or Shine know that even in defeat they still hold a distinct advantage for qualification. That means an Aces win is one of our Governors Cup betting tips as they have the head-to-head record and slightly better recent form after only being denied making it four out of four by the Bolts last time out. Back Alaska to just scrape over the line to keep them alive.
A narrow game is the most likely scenario in this tie. During the two encounters, Alaska Aces won by 3 points and 5 points respectively. There is little to suggest that will change in this match up with both in need of a win and both rosters equally matched. A winning margin between 1-5 points again is the smart way to go.
