On March 27th, Guangzhou secured a 114-106 away victory. Now, these two teams, both struggling in the lower ranks of the league, prepare for another showdown. Fujian currently sits 18th with a record of approximately 5 wins and 16 losses, while Guangzhou is positioned 15th with about 8 wins and 13 losses, yet both teams are eager for a win. Fujian has recently averaged 109.2 points per game but conceded a high 118.6 points, placing their defensive efficiency among the league's worst. Guangzhou's offense scores slightly less (106.8 points per game), but their defense is a bit better, allowing 113.4 points. Fujian's foreign player, Gordon, is the team's key player, averaging 28.4 points and 6.1 assists. Guangzhou relies on its local players Guo Kai and the foreign player, Lifu, in their interior game, with Lifu averaging 18.7 points and 10.2 rebounds, making a strong impact on both offense and defense. Fujian's offensive pace is quick (averaging only 41.3, ranking 19th in the league); Guangzhou favours a more strategic game, with fewer three-point attempts but a high free-throw percentage of 78.3% (top five in the league). Defensively, Fujian allows 119.4 points per 100 possessions, the worst in the league. While Guangzhou's defense is not outstanding, their 115.2 points allowed per 100 possessions is still in the mid-lower range. In their historical matchups, Guangzhou has a slight edge with 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 encounters, including an 8-point victory away from home this season, giving them a clear psychological advantage. However, Fujian is playing at home, with a 33% home win rate this season, and if Gordon is on form, he could potentially disrupt Guangzhou's defence. Recommendation: -5.5, Guangzhou, Away.
