Teams Preview
Shandong Hi-Speed Kirin
Shandong enter this match after a 93-87 road loss to Qingdao Eagles in their most recent CBA fixture. Marquese Chriss led the scoring with 22 points and nine rebounds, while Myles Powell added 21 points and five assists. DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell and Tao Hanlin each finished with 11 points, but Shandong were unable to overturn the deficit in the closing stages.
That result followed a mixed run of performances for the home side across their recent schedule. Shandong have shown the ability to stay competitive offensively, averaging over 90 points per game this season, but defensive lapses have been costly at times. Playing at home, they will look to establish control through structured possessions and interior presence.
Xinjiang Flying Tigers
Xinjiang will arrive in Jinan following a 95-77 defeat to Zhejiang Golden Bulls in their last league outing. Abudushalamu Abudurexiti was the leading scorer with 24 points, supported by Zach Nutall’s 17 points and Dedrick Lawson’s 12-point, nine-rebound effort. Despite individual contributions, Xinjiang struggled to close the gap after falling behind early.
Across their last ten matches, Xinjiang have alternated between wins and losses, reflecting an inconsistent stretch of form. They have generally shown better shooting efficiency than Shandong, particularly from three-point range, but defensive stability has been an ongoing issue, especially in away fixtures.
