Chiba come into this home fixture after edging Nagoya Diamond Dolphins 87-86, responding well to a narrow 75-73 defeat the previous day and earlier back-to-back losses to Utsunomiya. Over their last five contests, they have averaged 86.4 points while giving up 83.0, continuing to lean on one of the league’s most potent offenses.
Across the season, the Jets post 82.4 points, 37.2 rebounds, 20.6 assists, 4.9 steals, and 3.5 blocks per game, led by John Mooney’s 15.1 points and 12.0 rebounds, D.J. Hogg’s 13.8 points, and Nassir Little’s 13.1 as two-way forwards.
Kawasaki remain near the foot of the standings at 4-16 but have shown signs of life, splitting their recent two-game set with Kyoto and beating Ibaraki away before that. Over the last five outings, they have averaged 73.6 points and conceded 75.8, tightening their defense but still struggling for scoring consistency.
On the season, the Brave Thunders average 74.5 points, 31.0 rebounds, 20.1 assists, 7.2 steals, and 2.2 blocks, with Rosco Allen putting up 16.2 points and 6.5 rebounds, Dusan Ristic 14.1 points and 8.9 boards, and Emanuel Terry 9.4 points and 5.5 rebounds.

Chiba Jets meet Kawasaki Brave Thunders at LaLa arena TOKYOBAY on December 10, with tipoff scheduled for 15:35 IST.
Head-to-Head (Last 5 games) - Recent meetings strongly favour Chiba, who have won the last five clashes by margins of 104–68, 90–84, 95–71, 91–77 and 86–71. In those games, the Jets averaged 93.2 points compared with Kawasaki’s 74.2, highlighting a consistent offensive gap of nearly 20 points per night. Given Chiba’s current top-three status and Brave Thunders’ struggles, that trend is unlikely to reverse without an exceptional shooting night from Kawasaki.
| Player Name | Points | Rebounds | Assists | Steals/Blocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| John Mooney | 15.1 | 12 | 3.2 | 0.6/0.3 |
| Dusan Ristic | 14.1 | 8.9 | 2.0 | 0.5/0.7 |
Chiba enter as clear favourites and are projected to win by around 12-16 points. Their balanced attack, superior rebounding (37.2 to 31.0 per game), and proven head-to-head dominance give them multiple pathways to control the contest at LaLa Arena. For Brave Thunders to engineer an upset, Allen and Ristic must combine for a big scoring night, limit Mooney’s impact on the boards, and keep turnovers low enough to prevent Chiba from generating their usual transition burst.
Chiba to win (-15.5).
