CBA action at 19:35 sees Fujian Jinjiang Travel face off against Guangzhou Long Lions. Fujian leads the league in steals, averaging 10.2 per game, and excels in fast-break points (15 per game) and interior defense with 4.8 blocks. However, their three-point shooting accuracy is low, at only 26.5%. Guangzhou, on the other hand, tops the league in rebounds, grabbing 45.3 per game. Xu Xin's impressive performance in the previous game, with 27 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 blocks, highlights their inside presence, while Weems contributes with 21.8 points and 6.8 assists per game, leading the team's offense. Historically, Fujian has struggled against Guangzhou, losing all four matchups last season. Fujian needs to contain Xu Xin's inside dominance and improve their outside shooting. Zou Yang (averaging 2 steals) and Trae Bell-Haynes (15.4 points) are crucial for driving the transition game. Guangzhou needs to leverage their rebounding advantage (1.5 more rebounds per game than Fujian) to generate second-chance opportunities, and the outside shooting of Guo Ailun (12.5 points, 4 assists) will be a key factor. The prediction leans towards Guangzhou not losing, but Fujian's home advantage could be a factor, with a narrow Guangzhou victory being the most likely scenario.
