Fukui Bumblebees' recent form has been a struggle, with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses in their last five games. Their offensive output has been limited to an average of just 95.6 points per game, with their three-point shooting percentage dropping to 32%. Key player Kentaro Sato is hampered by an ankle injury, failing to score in double digits in the last two games. However, Fukui's home performance is relatively steady, boasting a 58% win rate this season. Yuta Yamamoto is a key player, averaging 12.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. Fukui will likely rely on their interior strength to control the game and improve their perimeter defence. Tokyo Excellence, the runners-up from last season, have strengthened their roster this season. The addition of former NBA player Jabari Parker has significantly boosted their offensive capabilities, with an average of 112.4 points per game in their last five outings. Their away win rate is an impressive 65%. Yuta Baba, the team's key guard, averages 18.7 points and 8.2 assists per game. Tokyo Excellence may attempt to break Fukui's interior defence through quick passing and outside shooting, but they need to be wary of Fukui's physical play at home. Fukui Bumblebees vs Tokyo Excellence over 170.5 points.
