Guangdong Dongguan Sunshine has shown a strong resurgence recently, defeating Guangzhou Long Lions 93-85 in the Guangdong derby on December 23rd, securing a winning streak and significantly boosting team morale. This victory showcased their mature offensive and defensive rhythm, establishing a 10-point lead in the first quarter. Despite the opponents narrowing the gap in the second quarter, they maintained control in the second half with stable performance, ultimately securing the win in the final quarter with solid defense, completely overcoming the early-season integration challenges. Shandong High-Speed recently achieved a two-game winning streak with their tenacity. In the match against Beijing Enterprises, the team reversed a 3-point deficit in the first quarter, defeating the Beijing team 98-88, demonstrating good adjustment capabilities. However, their home game ended in a 92-95 loss against Shenzhen Leopards, ending their winning streak. The team made significant roster adjustments this season, introducing four foreign players including Chris and Gally, along with domestic reinforcements like Chen Linjian. CBA 19:35 Guangdong Dongguan Sunshine - Shandong High-Speed Prediction: Guangdong Dongguan Sunshine -6.5 Overall, Guangdong Dongguan Sunshine's overall form and roster integration are superior to Shandong High-Speed. The stable performance of the core duo, Salinger and Xu Jie, along with the recent winning streak and home advantage, will be crucial. While Shandong High-Speed has a two-game winning streak, the slump in form of core player Gao Shiyan is unlikely to improve immediately, creating significant risks to the team's offensive fluidity. Although Shandong High-Speed's new signings have some ability, their performance away from home may be limited when facing Guangdong Dongguan Sunshine's mature offensive and defensive system. It is expected that Guangdong Dongguan Sunshine will win this match due to their stable core performance and home advantage. Predicted Result: Guangdong Dongguan Sunshine home win
