Teams Preview

Altiri Chiba

Altiri Chiba return to action after an 87-81 win in their previous game against Hiroshima, showing efficient shooting and strong ball movement. They converted 44% of field goals and 41% from three-point range in that game, while also recording 22 assists, which highlights their structured offensive approach. 

Yuta Osaki led scoring with 23 points, supported by Trey Porter and Dererk Pardon in the paint.

Recent form has been inconsistent, with Altiri winning 5 of their last 10 games. Defensively, they allow 83.7 points per game, which remains one of their main weaknesses, especially against high-tempo offenses. 

However, they rebound well with nearly 40 per game and maintain a higher assist average than Hiroshima, suggesting good half-court execution.

At home, Altiri tend to play slower and rely on perimeter shooting and ball circulation. If their three-point efficiency stays near 35%, they can remain competitive even against stronger offensive teams. 

Hiroshima Dragonflies

Hiroshima Dragonflies have a stronger overall season record and a more productive offense, averaging 86.3 points per game. 

Their attack relies heavily on perimeter shooting, attempting over 31 three-pointers per game, which is one of the highest rates in the league. 

Chris Smith scored 23 points in the last meeting, while Nick Mayo and Dwayne Evans added double-digit contributions, showing their scoring depth.

Despite the offensive strength, Hiroshima defense allows 83.0 points per game, which keeps many of their matches high-scoring. 

They also commit fewer turnovers than Altiri and hold a better assist-to-turnover ratio, indicating more stable guard play. Rebounding numbers are almost identical between the teams, so the game may depend more on shooting efficiency than inside play.

Hiroshima have won 6 of their last 10 games and average 89 points in that stretch, showing better recent offensive rhythm than Altiri. If their three-point shooting improves from the last match, they hold a clear scoring edge.

Altiri Chiba have home advantage and confidence after the recent 87-81 win over Hiroshima, which showed they can control tempo and limit outside shooting. 

However, their position near the bottom of the standings suggests inconsistency, and they often struggle against teams with strong perimeter scoring. Their lower season scoring average also means they must rely on efficiency rather than pace.

Current Standings: Hiroshima Dragonflies are 11th in the standings with a 25-18 record, while Altiri Chiba sit 20th at 15-28. Hiroshima remain in the mid-table playoff race, whereas Altiri are in the lower group and need wins to improve their position, making this an important game for both teams.

Head-to-Head Record: The last meeting ended with Altiri Chiba winning. Total points in that game were 168, with Altiri scoring 87 and Hiroshima scoring 81.
