Ironi Nahariya has won four of the last six meetings against Hapoel Tel-Aviv, but the last meeting back in March resulted in an eight-point loss. 

Ironi Nahariya is coming off back-to-back two-point losses and those close contests being on the wrong side can take its toll on a team as they try to march forward. Hapoel Tel-Aviv has been playing high level defense during this winning stretch and is allowing an average of just 72 points in its last three victories. Ironi Nahariya has been rather inconsistent lately and despite having the advantage over Hapoel Tel-Aviv in the past few meetings, it’s clear which team is playing the better basketball entering this contest. 

I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with Hapoel Tel-Aviv.
