Five days before boarding for the Intercontinental Cup, FlaBasquete makes a stop in Pato Branco (PR). This Thursday (03), the team faces Pato Basquete, at 19 pm, for the NBB. Then, on Saturday (05), the opponent will be Mogi, also away from home, at 16:10 pm. FlaTV broadcasts both matches live.

The Rio de Janeiro team's record against both teams is favorable. In the history of the NBB, Flamengo and Pato have faced each other five times, with the Rubro-Negro winning them all. Against Mogi, their success rate is high: 76%. They have won 26 of 34 matches.

In second place overall, the Mais Querido debuted in the second half of the competition last Tuesday. At Maracanãzinho, the team led by Gustavo De Conti defeated Caxias do Sul 90-55. They then played two matches in Buenos Aires (ARG) for the Champions League. In the Argentine capital, FlaBasquete secured their spot in the final stage of the championship in advance in April by beating Universidad de Concepción, but the loss to Boca Juniors left the decision for the first place in the group until the final window of the qualifying phase, which takes place in Chile in March.

The basketball teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo rely on resources from their sponsors – BRB, MOSS, TIM, AmBev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR) and State Incentive Law/State Secretariat of Sports, Leisure and Youth (Seelje) of Rio de Janeiro, in addition to support from the Brazilian Club Committee (CBC).
