PBA: Rain or Shine favored vs Nambatac-less TNT
Rain or Shine is aiming to extend their winning streak against a Rey Nambatac-less TNT in the PBA Philippine Cup.
The Elasto Painters are hoping to take advantage of Nambatac's absence, with coach Yeng Guiao calling it a "big break" for the team.
Nambatac is sidelined for four to six weeks due to a groin injury sustained during TNT's victory against Meralco.
TNT, currently at 3-3, will rely on Simon Enciso and Brian Heruela for playmaking as they try to extend their winning streak to three games.
This absence compounds the challenge for TNT, who are also missing Jayson Castro due to a knee injury.
Rain or Shine is on a two-game winning streak, including a win against previously undefeated Magnolia, and aims to improve its 4-2 win-loss slate.
