CULIACAN, Mexico (Interstat) — The Culiacan Caballeros host the Los Mochis Pioneros on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at Polideportivo Juan S. Millan in a CIBACOPA matchup that pits two teams jostling for playoff positioning. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. local time.

Culiacan (13-18) enters on a two-game split in Hermosillo, having dropped a 99-90 decision Saturday after winning 91-87 on May 1. The Caballeros have won six of their last nine overall, powered by point guard Roddy Peters, who averaged 19.3 points and 8.7 assists over his past nine appearances. Peters posted 27 points and 12 assists in Saturday’s loss and tallied 10 points and 11 assists in the win the night before.

Los Mochis (13-14) has lost three straight, including an 100-81 home defeat to Hermosillo on April 22. The Pioneros are 3-6 in their last nine outings. Center Arnett Moultrie has been a consistent force, averaging 18.7 points and 10.0 rebounds over his last seven games. He scored 23 points with six rebounds in the loss to Hermosillo and recorded a 27-point, 11-rebound double-double in a 115-110 overtime win at Guaymas on April 14.

The teams met Tuesday, May 5 (Interstat) — a game that resulted in a 0-0 final, according to league records, though no details were immediately available. In their two prior contests this season, Los Mochis swept a pair in March, winning 107-98 on March 4 and 100-87 on March 3. The Pioneros hold a 2-0 edge in head-to-head play.

Moultrie, a former NBA second-round pick, has been the offensive anchor for Los Mochis, shooting efficiently from the post and stretching defenses. Peters, a former University of Maryland standout, directs Culiacan’s attack with his playmaking and scoring ability.

Interstat’s ELO system projects Culiacan with a 73.5 percent probability to win. The Caballeros will look to ride their recent momentum and home-court advantage to even the season series. Los Mochis aims to snap its skid and maintain playoff hopes.

The game is the first of a two-game set; Los Mochis travels to Obregon on Friday and Saturday, while Culiacan also faces Obregon on the same days.
