In their last game against the Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Bulls, the Jiangsu Dragons suffered a disappointing 89-69 defeat on January 27, 2026. The Dragons struggled to find any offensive rhythm throughout the contest, shooting poorly from both the field and beyond the arc.
Harry Giles tried to provide inside presence with his rebounding and scoring, while T.J. Starks attempted to generate offense from the perimeter. However, defensive breakdowns and an inability to stop Zhejiang's balanced attack led to another loss. The team has been plagued by inconsistency all season, managing only 3 wins in 15 games.
The Dragons enter this matchup desperately seeking to snap their losing streak and gain any momentum at home. Playing at Suzhou Sports Centre, they need crowd support to generate defensive intensity and energy.
The Dragons must execute better defensively, limit turnovers, and find ways to score consistently if they hope to compete in this contest. The Dragons average modest offensive output while struggling defensively, allowing opponents to score freely.
Their field goal percentage and three-point shooting have been below league average, and they rank near the bottom in most statistical categories. Rebounding has been one of their few bright spots, but it hasn't translated to victories.
In their last match against the Liaoning Flying Leopards, Xinjiang delivered a dominant 78-59 victory at home. Dedric Lawson led the charge with powerful inside play, scoring efficiently in the paint and controlling the boards.
Louis King added perimeter scoring and defensive versatility, while Zachary Nutall contributed with his all-around game. The Tigers' defense was exceptional, holding Liaoning to just 59 points while forcing multiple turnovers. Xinjiang controlled the tempo from start to finish, showcasing why they're one of the top teams in the CBA this season with a 10-5 record.
The Flying Tigers come into this road game with tremendous confidence after their recent dominant performances. They have balanced scoring with Lawson anchoring the paint, King providing wing scoring, and excellent ball movement creating open looks.
On the road at Suzhou Sports Centre, they'll look to replicate their January 11th demolition of Jiangsu when they won 99-60. If Xinjiang can execute their defense aggressively, control the paint with Lawson's dominance, and maintain their efficient offensive flow, they should be able to cruise to another convincing victory.
