Guangzhou Long Lions
Guangzhou enter the matchup with a 93-76 victory in the first playoff encounter. They lost the previous three games against Guangdong in the regular season but secured a win in the most important game. The Loong Lions outscored the opposition 22-12 in the second quarter and it proved decisive. They stretched the lead to a game-high 21 points. With a crucial road victory, the Lions are on the way to eliminate Guangdong. They will be home now for Game 2.
It will be a best of three playoffs and Guangzhou are just one win away from cracking the series victory. The Loong Lions are 1-9 in the last ten CBA encounters against Guangdong. The numbers are not giving them an edge but early advantage can fancy their chances. Guangzhou finished 12th in the points table with a 18-24 record. They qualified for the playoffs ahead of Beijing Royal Fighters, who had the same record in the regular season.
The Loong Lions can afford a loss in Game 2 as the series will move into the decider. They shot 48% from the floor and 38% from the three-point line. Guangzhou are averaging 87.7 points per game, while allowing 88.2 points per game. They shot 36.2% from the three-point range this season which is fifth highest in CBA. Lindell Wigginton is a player to watch out for. The Canadian guard averaged 23.2 points in the regular season. We back him to score 15 or more points in the home fixture.
Guangdong Southern Tigers
Guangdong Southern Tigers faced a major setback in the CBA playoffs. It could be a series-defining game for them. The Southern Tigers lost to Guangzhou 76-93 in home assignment. They managed only 12 points in the second quarter and dropped an early 7-point lead. Guangdong stretched the deficit to 21 points and didn’t recover. It was their fourth straight defeat in the ongoing season. They ended the regular season with three straight defeats.
They will now appear for the do-die clash against the Loong Lions. Guangdong beat them thrice before the playoffs and have a 9-1 record in the last ten CBA games. Previous numbers will become history if they fail to draw a win in Game 2. Guangdong wants to force Game 3 so they can find energy in the home game. With a 13-8 record on the road, they need a special performance to improve the numbers. They posted a 27-15 record in the China CBA 2025-26.
Guangdong are shooting 46.8% from the floor and 33.8% from the three-point line. The visitors allowed 89.3 points per game in the regular season and averaged 94 points.
