Teams Preview

Kagoshima Rebnise

When it comes to consistency, Kagoshima will surprise you. This is the big concern for them in the regular season. They recently snapped a six-game losing streak with a win over Shizuoka but couldn’t grab the momentum. The Rebnise dropped their third straight game with a 78-85 loss to Shinshu. They are still fourth in the Western Conference with a 25-27 record. The Rebnise went below .500 for the first time. They will be staying home for a tough assessment against Fukuoka. 

Kagoshima are 12-14 at home this season. They were shooting 41% from the floor and 33% from the three-point line. The hosts rank fifth in the field goal percentage (44.2%) and 11th in the three-point shooting (31.3%). Kagoshima are second in blocks per game (3.4) and fifth in offensive rebounds (11.4). They are the fifth best team in scoring average with 84.0 points per game. 

Takayuki Kodama was the top performer in the last game with 21 points. Anthony Gaines went for 16 points and nine rebounds, while Patrick Auda added 13 points and eight assists. If we pick an offensive threat, Anothony Gaines could be a player to watch out for. The 27-year-old guard averaged 17.7 points in the league. He scored 20 or more points 19 times. We back Gaines to score 15 or more points in the home fixture.

Rizing Zephyr Fukuoka

Fukuoka enter the matchup with a 80-82 loss to Kumamoto. Kagoshima’s poor run gave them a chance to take fourth spot but they didn’t grab it. They are currently on a six-game losing streak. With a 2-8 record in the last ten games, Fukuoka are on the verge of elimination. They will be in action against the playoff rivals, Kagoshima. If they win, they can close their gap for the potential fourth spot. Fukuoka are currently placed fifth in the Western Conference with a 21-29 record.

Fukuoka had a 63-52 lead after three quarters but the fourth quarter debacle made them suffer. They shot 46% from the floor and 46% from the three-point line. The visitors outscored the opposition 36-33 in the rebounding battle. They averaged 75.8 points in the league and allowed 79.2 points per game against the opposition.

Takanobu Nishikawa led the offense in the previous game with 18 points, while Terrance Woodbury dropped 16 points and 8 rebounds. Keisuka Aita added 15 points. Pablo Aguilar also contributed 11 points and 10 rebounds. Woodbury could be an offensive threat against Kagoshima. The veteran forward averaged 17.9 points in the regular season and went into single digits once in the last 13. We are backing him to score over 15 points in this fixture.
