This season, Ningbo Wattway previously defeated Zhejiang Golden Bulls in overtime on the road, showcasing a significant rebounding advantage. Simpson's impressive 36-point performance and consistent play from key players in overtime were pivotal. However, their regular-time offensive efficiency and reliance on foreign players were evident. Zhejiang Golden Bulls, despite their strong outside shooting, with York scoring 33 points in that game, faced internal weaknesses, trailing by 18 rebounds and struggling offensively in overtime. Zhejiang recently changed coaches, and with the departure of players like Yu Jiahao, their interior rotation is strained, and their start has been inconsistent. Ningbo has shown considerable improvement this season, defeating several strong teams. A key matchup will be Ningbo's rebounding strength against Zhejiang's perimeter offense. Zhejiang, though historically dominant with a 13-1 record against Ningbo, lost to them in overtime earlier this season. Zhejiang's recent form is poor, with a 1-4 record. The team is still adapting to a new coach and is dealing with injuries. Their defense allows 97 points per game, highlighting interior vulnerabilities and rebounding deficiencies. In contrast, Ningbo has a complete roster, and the foreign players, Simpson and Jackson, are scoring consistently. Their victory against Zhejiang was secured through rebounding. Now playing at home, their morale is high. Zhejiang currently struggles with offensive and defensive balance and may struggle to quickly address their interior weaknesses on the road. Ningbo can leverage their home advantage and rebounding strength to limit their opponents, likely keeping the score difference within 4.5 points. Recommended bet: Ningbo Wattway +4.5 win.
