Where to watch Flamengo x Mogi das Cruzes

To watch Flamengo x Mogi das Cruzes in the NBB, fans will only have two options to follow the match. The duel will be broadcast exclusively on the new paid platform of Novo Basquete Brasil, which offers plans starting at R$39.99 per month, in addition to FlaTV+.
Flamengo should have an absence against Mogi< /p>
Temporary leader of the NBB, as Minas Tênis Clube still surpasses Rubro-Negro If they win their delayed game, Rubro-Negro has everything it takes to achieve a peaceful victory against Mogi das Cruzes. Facing the worst team in the competition, coach Gustavinho de Conti should only have one absence.
With all the players available, Flamengo still doesn't know if they can count on winger Didi Louzada. The star continues to be treated for a muscle injury, a problem that took him out of the AmeriCup qualifiers with the Brazilian team.
