Teams Preview

Kagoshima Rebnise

Kagoshima’s disappointing run adds one more chapter and this time, Shizuoka gave them a setback in first of a two-game set. With a 91-94 loss to Veltex, they extended their losing streak to six matches. They are still fourth in the Western Conference with a 24-24 record. With a 13-12 record on the road, they had a disappointing run in the previous month. They would still fancy their chances to get a comeback win against the Veltex Shizuoka. 

Kagoshima were shooting 48% from the floor and just 14% from the three-point line. Their three-point shooting went below 20% in the last two games. They were out-rebounded 36-44. The hosts rank sixth in the field goal percentage (44.3%) but 11th in the three-point shooting (31.1%). Kagoshima are second in blocks per game (3.4) and fifth in offensive rebounds (11.2). They are the fifth best team in scoring average with 84.3 points per game.

Three players reached double figures for Kagoshima in the last defeat. Patrick Auda scored 22 points and 13 rebounds, while Anthony Gaines added 19 points. Kodama dropped 16 points and Josh Sharma contributed nine points and six rebounds. Anothony Gaines could be a player to watch out for. The American guard averaged 17.9 points in the league and scored 20 or more points 17 times. We back Gaines to score 15 or more points in the upcoming fixture.

Veltex Shizuoka

Shizuoka came pretty close to surprising Ehime in the last game but this time, they held their nerves to defeat Kagoshima Rebnise. The Veltex lost to the Vikings through Shaquille Hines’ buzzer-beater and in the last game, they already built a lead so they didn't panic. The Veltex have gone 5-5 in their last ten games. They are 11-37 in the regular season and are already out from the playoffs. They are likely to finish at the bottom in the Western Conference. 

Shizuoka lost to Kagoshima three times out of five and they can now aim to tie the series. The Veltex are 4-20 on the road this season. With this win, they snapped a three-game losing skid on the road. The visitors shot 50% from the floor and 36% from the three-point line. Shizuoka averaged 71.1 points in the league and allowed 80.6 points per game. They rank 8th in total rebounds (39.1) and 8th in turnovers (12.2). They are shooting 40.6% from the floor and 29.3% from threes this season. 

It was another collective offensive show from Shizuoka. Keisuke Masuda led the scoring with 20 points and 6 rebounds. Takumi Simon went for 19 points and 7 assists. Kenny Lawson dropped 16 points and nine rebounds. Chris-Ebou Ndow chipped in with 14 points and seven rebounds. Angus Brandt contributed nine points and nine rebounds. Kenny Lawson could be an offensive threat as well. The center averaged 12.8 points in B2 League and went into single digits twice in the last ten. We are backing him to score over 15 points in this fixture.
