Free Pick: Ginebra+1.5 (PBA) W

Preview: The Gin Kings look to rebound against the pace-setting Coca-cola Tigers after a lackluster outing against Sta. Lucia. This goes the same with import Awvee Storey who was able to finish in double figures only after making six points in the last two minutes of play. He made only 13 points but grabbed 22 rebounds.

With the Realtors putting the game beyond reach early, Ginebra coach Jong Uichico used the opportunity to break in new recruit John Ferriols and newly reactivated Junthy Valenzuela.

The Tigers, on the other hand, are coming from a thrilling victory against Air 21 where James Penny had another productive night with 29 points despite being saddled with fouls as the Tigers stayed unbeaten in the PBA Fiesta Conference at the Araneta Coliseum.
David picked up from where he left last week when he was named Player of the Week, scoring a game-high 21 points and had four assists and Norman Gonzales added 10 off the bench, including 3 of 4 from the 3-point range.

Air21 had a good start but lost momentum in the second quarter when they committed 13 turnovers. Although they gave up only six points on those miscues, it enabled the Tigers to take control of the game.
