Predict the PBA games: Alaska vs Shopinas.com, B-Meg vs Ginebra

Can Ginebra score a win over B-Meg after their recent trade?
(Paolo Papa/InterAKTV)

It's time once again to do some predictions for today's PBA games. I have to tell you, it ain't easy predicting the team that'll win plus the margin of the winning score for each game. Time to put it all to good use shall we?

Alaska wins by 12.

This may be a safe prediction for me but the way I see it, the Aces can easily take this game. No hate on the Clickers (I actually like them and I'm a fan of coach Franz Pumaren) though. HOWEVA, if they wanna get that first W they gotta be more consistent not only with their scoring but also on defense.

On the other side of the fence, coach Joel Banal better keep the streak going. His players are still trying to get used system. As long as they play as a cohesive unit, minimize turnovers and get their offense early on, they'll get that win for sure.

B-Meg wins by 6.

We all heard about the trade, now it's time for both these teams to test their mettle with newly acquired players. Rico Maierhofer won't be playing for now but they got Allein Maliksi, an exciting rook that can give some scoring boost for the Gin Kings.

As for the B-Meg Llamados, it's expected that Yancy De Ocampo will be the X-factor. The frontcourt lineup of the Llamados just got deeper. With him in the rotation, he can give Ginebra some problems down low. Oh, and did I mention the dude can score as well?
