At the same time, the Munich team has the chance to take revenge for the three defeats this season against the Saxons; in November, they lost 85-80 away from home in the Cup and also fell in two EuroLeague games.

Chemnitz squandered a better starting position for the playoffs, specifically fourth place, last weekend with a 95-93 loss in Crailsheim. Ludwigsburg secured this spot on Wednesday evening in the last game of the regular season against Heidelberg (98-83).   

For Chemnitz, national player Jan Niklas Wimberg returned to the squad in Crailsheim after a long injury layoff. In the previous game, they clearly dominated second-place Bonn at home (90-68). The Niners finished the regular season with a 22-12 record (Bayern: 25:9) and are in the postseason for the first time in their second BBL season.
