TNT Tropang Giga will look to get back to winning ways in their pursuit to qualify in top-seed bracket of the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup as they face a tricky encounter against another side in the same pursuit – Meralco Bolts. Tropang Giga have a 6-3 win-loss record and are second in the standings just behind Barangay Ginebra San Miguel. Meralco are 4th in the standings with a 5-3 win-loss record and are yet to confirm their qualification to quarterfinals.
Tropang Giga are confirmed of their quarterfinal place, but would be eager to finish in the top-four that gives them a ‘twice-to-beat’ cushion. However, the 85-79 loss to Ginebra in the latest round didn’t help them one bit. Crucially, Tropang Giga fared poorly from the 3-point range connecting only five of their 41 attempts. That loss meant Tropang Giga have lost three of their last four matches after winning the first five in a row.
Meralco have given their playoff chances a big boost with their recent run of four wins in the last five matches. The most recent 85-78 win over Rain or Shine underlined their strength and form. After leading 48-44 at half-time, the Bolts blazed away with a 22-4 run at the start of the third quarter to take the game away from the Painters. That followed their trend of low-scoring matches as the Bolts defeated Blackwater 89-85 and lost to San Miguel 89-82 in their previous two matches.

Our TNT Tropang Giga vs Bolts Prediction
Tropang Giga have lost their early season momentum with a run of three losses in their last four matches. Although their playoff place is guaranteed, Tropang Giga would want to finish in the top-four and get a ‘twice-to-beat’ card. The playoff place is not yet guaranteed for Meralco Bolts, who are actually peaking at the right time for this match. We are backing the Bolts to continue their good run and stun the Tropang Giga side.
