CBA Clash: A Crucial Playoff Positioning Battle Between Nanjing and Jilin - Seeking Momentum in the League Standings

This CBA match in the ninth round is a key game for playoff positioning. Nanjing, with a record of 3 wins and 5 losses, is ranked 14th, while Jilin, with 4 wins and 4 losses, is in 13th place. The two teams are only separated by one win, and both are eager to win to break into the top 12. Historically, Jilin has the upper hand with 15 wins and 9 losses, but they lost both encounters against Nanjing last season, making this a chance for revenge on the road. Nanjing's core player, Guo Haowen, is in excellent form, averaging 21.6 points and 5.3 assists. Maneck contributes 14.1 points and 7.9 rebounds, shoring up the inside game, but the foreign player, Lavette, has been cut, which impacts the team's rotation. Jilin is currently on a two-game losing streak and has yet to win away from home. The team features a dual-core of Moore and Jiang Weize (averaging 15.1 points and 4.9 assists). Wilson strengthens the defense with 9.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks, while Zeng Fanri and Jia Hao are highly motivated against their former team. Prediction: Nanjing Sky Blue
