The CBA season kicks off with a highly anticipated match between Beijing BEICK and Guangdong Southern Tigers. Both teams showcased impressive form in the previous stage. Beijing BEICK has a recent record of 7 wins and 3 losses in their last 10 games, with a 70% win rate and a 60% against the spread rate. Although their over rate is low at 30%, their home winning streak cannot be overlooked. Their defense has improved significantly in recent wins against Fujian Jinjiang and Sichuan Fenggu, limiting opponents to under 76 points. Offensively, they've demonstrated high-efficiency combinations to widen the score gap. Recent losses stemmed from issues in outside shooting and crucial plays during the final quarter. Guangdong Southern Tigers enter with an impressive 8-game winning streak, leading the league. They are undefeated on the road with a 4-0 record. Their foreign players, Salinger and Sumner, are performing consistently. Xu Jie's playmaking is excellent. The absence of Cui Yongxi doesn't affect their rhythm. They have an advantage in fast breaks and rebounds (ranking first in rebounds). Historical matchups favour Guangdong. The pace of the game and defensive strategies will be key. Beijing hopes to end their losing streak at home, while Guangdong aims for a 9-game winning streak. The matchups on the inside and outside, and the control of turnovers, will determine the outcome. Beijing BEICK has a home record of 7 wins and 1 loss (3 wins and 1 loss at home). They lost to Guangsha in their last game, ending a 7-game winning streak. Chen Yingjun is injured, and Zeng Fanbo didn't play. Zhou Qi's participation is doubtful due to a back issue. The core players are Zhao Rui, J'maine Jamar, and Spellman, with strong positional defense (allowing an average of 74.6 points). The recommendation is Beijing BEICK -6!
