Their offensive efficiency, indicated by a 42.8% field goal percentage and a 36.8% three-point percentage, and defensive stability are below their season averages. While their first-half performances have been somewhat better (33.3% win rate in the last six first halves), the team has struggled in the full games, particularly in home games where they have suffered consecutive losses, showing a notable decline in scoring ability during the final quarter. In their recent head-to-head encounters with Wonju DB Promy, Seoul Samsung Thunders have only managed to win one of the last ten games, often failing to cover the spread. Wonju DB Promy, currently ranked third in the league, comes into this game with strong momentum, riding a four-game winning streak. Their away form is also impressive, marked by a three-game winning streak. Over their last ten games, the team has averaged 83.2 points per game while allowing 76.5 points, resulting in a net point differential of 6.7 points.

In their matchups against Seoul Samsung Thunders, Wonju DB Promy has dominated, winning nine out of the last ten games, often by a significant margin. This gives them a clear psychological advantage. However, their first-half performances have been inconsistent (50% win rate in the last six first halves), and they have shown signs of slow starts in some away games. While the statistical data strongly favours Wonju DB Promy, with the spread reflecting their historical dominance, there may be concerns regarding potential complacency or the impact of a congested schedule when playing away from home.
